Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
I am not impressed with what I have baked. I know the temperature of my oven is accurate. I bought an oven thermometer to ensure it is accurate. I find these cookies to be sickenly sweet. yukkkk... I used Kraft 100% all natural peanut butter and found what i made to be an oily mess. The grease dripped out of these cookies. It was like they were self basting. yukkkk again. If you are on a gluten free diet you must be careful of the type of peanut butter you use. Not all peanut butters are "safe" to eat. Some people mistakenly believe all peanut butter is gluten free.. not so. These "cookies" tasted doughy. Any help would be appreciated. You can reach me by email at drivingquestions@hotmail.com

Brown Family's Favorite Pumpkin Pie
Absolutely "love" it. I had company over who said he "hated" pumpkin pie. I convinced him to give it a try. He loved it and asked for seconds. A keeper for sure! I added a dollop of whipped cream with a touch of ground ginger in it. MMMMMMMM......Nummy!

Seven Layer Magic Bars
What a disappointment that was! The ingredients are delicious...no question about that.....but I wish I had read the reviews first. I absolutley agree that the crust was way too "greasy" and the chocolate was way too much for the recipe. The pan size should be downsized. The recipe needs to be adjusted. I am so happy I did not make this to take to a function or I would have been making a quick trip to a bakery to pick something up. There is no way I would take this mess anywhere. My hubby who has a sweet tooth turned his nose up at this one. What a waste of good ingredients. I learned to always, always, always read the reviews first before you make anything from this website no matter what the rating. Is the taste good? I never met a chocolate I didn't like. Did it present well? NOT AT ALL!
