This was very good, moist, dense, and flavorful.It is a "short" loaf just like the picture shows. It is delicious! I was out of white sugar and used brown sugar in both parts and it was great. Please note that yes, the pumpkin batter is very thick. Just spoon a bit into the bottom , enough to cover. Then pour the cream cheese on. Then use a spoon and drop large scoops of pumpkin batter all over the top, and then use the spoon to gently spread the scoops together to cover the cream cheese. It's not hard at all and worth the great result. This is best when wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight.

I thought this was going to be a fantastic soup, but it was super bland and not flavorful at all. I agree with some other reviewers on those counts. I followed the recipe exactly, without the optional wine. It was so bland what after we tried it, we went back and added a lot more things like cinnamon, cloves, more salt, just trying to get it to taste great but it still is just a very bland soup. I very much prefer the Creamy Butternut Squash with Cinnamon Soup from this site. NO comparison!!

I do a lot of baking. I am very fond of chocolate chip cookies, but these were not good. I followed the recipe exactly. The batter was nearly flavorless. The cookies were too greasy and tasted like fake butter, crisco and salt. TOO salty and greasy. The texture is too soft also. I like my cookies to be a bit chewy on the edges with a soft yummy center, and stay soft/chewy for a few days. Save your time and don't bother with this one. I have five kids and there are still cookies sitting on the counter. Enough said.
