Apple Pumpkin Muffins
These are exactly what I was looking for! Delicious muffins, with a good pumpkin flavor, but the apples keep them from being boring and "predictable". Thanks to all the reviewers - I took a lot of your advice! Used 1.5 cups of AP flour, and 1 cup of WW flour, only used about 1 cup of sugar, used the whole can of pumpkin, applesauce instead of the oil, and just a shake more pumpkin pie spice. Also didn't peel the apples. And I did do the streusel, but used 2 T. of butter total (it needed it). We both love them! I can't imagine making the recipe as it was written, so that's why it's not 5 stars. But definitely recommend with these changes! (and by the way - this recipe is exactly the same as the other one on this site with the identical title... not sure why there are two of the same!)

Bleu Cheese Macaroni
This is amazing! We've made it several times and we just love it. I always use half/half (sometimes FF half/half) and fat-free plain yogurt, and it still tastes great. It's delicious with blue cheese, but I'm also looking forward to trying some other cheeses (like feta)! Highly recommend for an easy, sophisticated side dish!

Corned Beef and Cabbage
This was my first time making (or eating) corned beef and cabbage, and it was great! My boyfriend and the rest of my dinner guests all love corned beef, and they couldn't stop raving about how good it was. I did put the meat in first, and I used one additional cup of water (plus one beef bouillon cube). I cooked on low for 9 hours and then turned it up to high and added in the cabbage for an additional 2 hours (to steam, like others recommended). Other than that, I made exactly as written. All the veggies were so delicious and tender (not falling apart at all), and the meat was amazing. Will definitely use this recipe when I make corned beef again! Thanks for making me look like a pro! ;o)
