Spaghetti Squash Alfredo
Our family really enjoyed this - what a pleasant way to enjoy this veggie! We made a few necessary changes, due to what we had on hand, but like others, we did find it a bit bland. (Our only changes were cream of chicken rather than celery and cheese type, as we had no Swiss.) Next time, we'll likely use cream of mushroom soup, add garlic, season it more - fresh ground pepper and salt - and add mushrooms. Perhaps onion also. We followed the suggestion of using 1 cup milk, no water, and the creaminess was great when mixed with the squash. I roasted the squash in the oven by halving and seeding it first, then baking it for 40 minutes at 350 (halves upside down when roasting) - but the overall recipe was a nice change from others.

Lazy Bruschetta
My husband and I thought this was great! I was looking for a simple use for fresh garden tomatoes, and I appreciated slicing rather than "dicing." I used a different garlic, and I also placed a leaf of fresh basil on each slice of bread, under the tomato and cheese. I really like the garlic infused olive oil coating the pre-toasted bread! Yum! Because I used an entire baguette, I prepared ten slices, and the oil was plenty - I can see how it would be a bit much for just four slices.

Pecan Pie Muffins
Our family loves these - in fact, I made a plate of them for my mother on her birthday this year, as she is quite to pecan pie aficianado. The first two times I made them last year, I used sprayed paper liners, but this was still problematic. But we purchased slilcon muffin pans last spring, and those have made all the difference! I spray the pans, and after they cool, the muffins pop right out with no problem. (I know your not supposed to need to spray them, but with these sticky buggers, it helps.) I haven't tried full-size muffins. I find that with the sprayed silicon pans, I can get *exact;y* eighteen muffins, as I can fill close to the top, and space isn't taken away by the paper liners. With the richness of these, larger muffins aren't needed. This is a keeper for certain!
