Maple-Balsamic Vinaigrette
GREAT dressing! This came together quickly--decided to use this rather than a bottled cranberry walnut vinaigrette... glad I did! Tasted awesome with arugula, chopped pecans, cranberries, sliced apple, and a bit of parm cheese. Wonderful blend of flavors - I recommend mixing lettuce and ingredients to coat and then serving onto plates... much better results.

Phyllo Chicken Packets
Pretty presentation, lacks the all-important flavor component. Overall, easy recipe: straightforward instructions, accurate cooking temp/time, etc. I subbed in some ricotta cheese for the mayo (all mayo would have been...gross, really. especially after the fact...). While it was edible, it really lacked anything that gave it a good taste. More seasoning? Different seasoning? I may play around with again--using ricotta cheese again--needs lots of work before I serve to guests though.

Snickerdoodle Cake I
Yummy recipe! Easy and turns out wonderfully moist and delish - I subbed butter for the shortening. And added a good tsp of cinnamon to the batter (I am not sure I would've like it without!). Also, I spread half the batter into the pan, then sprinkled half the cinnamon/sugar mixture over it, followed by the rest of the batter. You couldn't really see the layer (probably have to use a lot more cinn/sugar) but I appreciated the taste it added. --To make a little more enticing, I made a cream cheese/powdered sugar/milk glaze to the top of each piece. But it's perfectly tasty without!
