OMG, this is delicious. I didn't have light cream so I used 3/4 c. of heavy cream and 1/4 c. skim milk and it worked fine. Also didn't have mace so I just omitted it. I had no probs with it firming up and the added praline mixture on the bottom is to die for. I don't think I'll make a traditional pumpkin pie again. Thanks for such a delicious recipe!!

I don't think you could fairly call this spicy, at least not in my book. I added jalapenos, onions, and crushed red pepper and it still wasn't as hot as I had hoped. It is definitely sweet and sticky. It has a flavor reminiscent of teriyaki chicken. It's good and I'll probably make it again for my husband. He loved it but it was a tad too sweet for me.

Wow!! Celeste gave me this recipe on the exchange well before it was published but I was secretly terrified of it, thinking I'd burn the chocolate and make an utter mess. Why, oh, why did I not make these months ago?!? They are too die for and my idiot self even only added 1/2 a c. of butter to the batter instead of a full cup. I can only imagine how good they'd be with a full cup. Make sure you follow the directions with the icing. The icing alone tastes like a delicious rich brownie batter. I'll be making these for years to come. Thanks for a real winner, Celeste!!

I grew up just south of Pittsburgh and this is always a staple at picnics and family reunions. Thanks for posting. I always forget to ask for the recipe!! :)

Delish and I'm sure it will even better when I get rid of this cold and can taste it more. LOL. I did have to use 3 cups of all purpose flour b/c I didn't have any whole wheat but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I'm wondering has anyone tried using a cup of the pineapple sauce they make instead of applesauce? That may make it taste more like a pina coloda. Yum!!

I forgot to add that it works best if you peel the cucumber beforehand. Thanks for the great reviews!

As written pretty good but I added a couple of things to make them more like the green beans at the local buffet. Definitely use the sugar, it cuts the saltiness. I also added a couple splashes of white wine and balsamic vinegar. It makes them delish!!

Yum! Made these for a baby shower today, doubled the recipe and ALL were gone even though there were only about 15 in attendance. Everyone raved about them!! Great job, Anita!! :)

This is delish. It was good as written but I did take other reviewers' advice and had some extra chicken stock on hand. I also added a bit of garlic powder, wanted to use fresh but didn't have any on hand, and some chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Yummy!!

I'll give this three b/c it did turn out as a bread. However, I can't give it more than that b/c I didn't follow the recipe. I didn't add the dried fruit or anise seed or colored eggs; instead I added anise extract and it still wasn't enough for my tastes. I was hoping this would be like my Sicilian grandma's Pigna but it didn't come close. If you're not Italian and not used to authentic Pigna then this may satisfy your needs but it just didn't do it for me. I crumbled it up and gave it to the birds.

Very good option for healthy brownies. Wal-Mart only had 1 zucchini left so I pureed that and used 1 egg. The brownies were a bit cake-like but I didn't want them to be too dry with only 1 c. of pureed zucchini. They were tasty but even better with frosting. I didn't have powdered sugar so I just bought a container of chocolate buttercream frosting. YUM!! These were really good and the little guy LOVED them!!

This is my go-to BBQ sauce!! It's delicious on everything, chicken, ribs, pork BBQ. I've used it as the sauce for a barbecue chicken pizza and it was awesome. I just can't get enough of it. I do leave out the celery seed simply b/c I never have it onhand but I really don't miss it. Thanks Big Al for a super BBQ sauce.

Made this tonight with frozen banana's, chocolate chips, and chopped walnuts and it tasted exactly like Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey!! Like other reviewers, I think 1/2 c. of sugar is too much. I only used 1/3 c. and it was still a bit too sweet. Maybe next time I'll only use 1/4 c. Anyway, I will definitely be making this again!!

AWESOME!! I made this tonight on the grill and it worked wonderfully. I even mixed the dough last night and refrigerated it until today and still was wonderful. I made a barbecue chicken pizza with Big Al's KC BBQ sauce, diced chicken I had grilled beforehand and basted with the sauce, carmelized red onions, and cheddar cheese. Made another one with roasted garlic and tomatoes, carmelized red onions, basil, pizza sauce and fresh mozzarella!! I may NEVER order another pizza again!! It was as good, if not better than the kind we get at a local gourmet pizza shop!! Thanks Jay!!

This was WAY too sweet as written. I had to add extra butter, whipping cream and finally some cream cheese to cut the sweetness. I will admit, though, that I'm not a huge fan of really sweet stuff but this actually hurt my teeth when I tasted it!!

These are awesome, however, as with most things I made some changes. I thought just cream cheese would be bland so I added about 1 1/2 tbs. of McCormick's Grill Mates Cinnamon Chipotle seasoning and probably 1/4 c. of shredded sharp cheese. They were wonderful!! Definitely a keeper!!

This probably would've been wonderful as is but I have a problem where I can never just follow a recipe as written. I added about 1/3 a block of cream cheese, some chocolate chips and a bit more peanut butter. I only added half the whipped topping to the filling and used the other half to top the pie on top of which I sprinkled peanut butter chips and some chocolate sauce. Not the low fat version I know but I just couldn't help myself, I was feeling sinful. ;)

I'm only giving this a three because I made some changes but with those changes it was absolutely delish!! I used a whole container of chicken stock and about 4 or 5 tbs. of lemon juice, ended up adding a teaspoon of chicken base, two splashes of white wine and two cloves of garlic. Like someone mentioned before, I pounded out the chicken, dredged it in the flour, egg, flour and browned. Took it out and made the sauce in the same pan, a large wok. After the sauce was finished I added sliced zuchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and capers. I mistakenly served it over angel hair the first time, the sauce will not stick even after it's been thickened with cornstarch. So the next night I made some mashed potatoes with 1 clove of minced garlic and about a tablespoon of grated parmigano-reggiano. I served the leftover chicken and zuchini over that and it was heavenly!!

I'm only giving this three stars because as written, I think it would make for an extremely bland soup. I made the changes suggested by others. Most definitely add some diced onion, carrots, and minced garlic sauteed in olive oil. And even after only using 1/2 c. flour I still found the soup lacking some taste so I added a couple of tablespoons of white wine and some lemon juice. If I had some on hand, I also would've added a tiny bit of chicken base just to give it a bit more depth but with the changes it really did turn into an excellent soup!!

As written, this was a little bland. I added a couple dashes of hot sauce, two chicken bullion and one beef bullion and that gave it more flavor. I also added a can of diced tomatoes as some reviews suggested. I think if I make it again, I would use beef broth instead of chicken but overall a pretty good base soup. I'm just the type of person who likes my food bursting with flavor.
