Lamb Tagine
This smelled so good when we were making it but then something felt like it was missing when we finally ate it over couscous. I've never been to Morocco but I've been to a couple Moroccon restaurants in NYC and I found their tagines had more depth. I think it lacked the fruity aspect of typical Moroccan stews so next time I might add some apricots and raisins. Also, my husband cut the lamb down into more like 1 inch cubes and I think he browned them for too long as the meat wasn't very "fall off the bone". Since everyone here is raving about it, I'm definitely going to give this recipe a second try...soon.

Sweet and Savory Kale
This is a really good Kale recipe. I made it for a pot luck dinner last night and everyone enjoyed it. I halved the sugar as suggested and used dried Tart Cherries instead of the cranberries as that is all I had. I also added a bit extra kale as I wanted to finish off the bunch that I bought. Definitely a hit and super easy to make.

Easy Key Lime Pie I
I followed the 4 eggs, 2 cans condensed milk and 1 cup key lime juice suggestions and ended up with enough filling for two crusts! Perhaps I made it too fluffy? I took the time to first beat the egg yolks for about 4 minutes and then slowly added the condensed milk while still beating on a medium speed. I finally slowed my mixer to 'stir' and added the key lime juice. While the first pie was baking, I sent my boyfriend out to get a second crust and I added some more key lime juice to the second half of the batter (about a tablespoon) and some lime zest. This second one came out much more tart than the first and I think was preferred by most of my coworkers. However, both pies were pretty much devoured and got rave reviews!! Next time, I'm going to try to half the modified recipe as I don't need two pies and modify it a little. I like the more tart version of the pie except that it didn't hold together as well. I think there wasn't enough eggs in it. SO I'm going to try 3 eggs, 1 can condensed milk and 1/2 cup and 1 tbsp of key lime juice. I love experimenting!
