With Thanksgiving being only days away I had to find a good vegetarian gravy to go with my "turkey". I came across this recipe and decided to test it out today. I didn't have any nutritional yeast or sage so I made it without them. I also substituted olive oil for the vegetable oil, left out the salt and added a little more vegetable broth to thin it out some. The outcome was pretty darn good. It is a very rich gravy with an almost mushroomy flavor. My husband agreed and said it is the best vegetarian gravy he has ever had. The only issue I had with it is that it turns into a thick, sticky glob when refrigerated and you will definitely need to add more vegetable broth when you reheat the leftovers.

Based on the name of these cookies I was expecting a lot more from them. They aren't terrible, but they are definitely not the best I've had. I followed the recipe almost exactly as written, except I used 2 x-large eggs because that's all I had and I omitted the nuts. Baking them at 350 was taking well beyond 10 minutes, so I knew the oven temp had to be increased. Also, the cookies were not browning and looked flat. After the first batch came out I increased the oven temp to 375 and baked for 11 minutes. The cookies seemed to have a better color to them and didn't seem as flat. As far as taste goes these cookies are decent, but I must say I've yet to find a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I like as much as Tollhouse. For me, that is definitely the recipe to beat. Will I make these cookies again? Probably not.

These are great! Very moist and all the flavors go together so well making one yummy muffin! I omitted the pecans, I usually don't like nuts in my baked goods, and substituted vegetable oil for the olive oil, but other than that didn't change a thing. I manged to get 21 muffins out of this recipe. Hubby really enjoyed these and so did I. Will definitely make again.
