Snickerdoodles II
Used butter flavored Crisco, which I think lent a weird sour/chemically aftertaste. Never used it before & wanted to try it before holiday baking ensues. The texture was great, though they didn't spread very much. Probably will try another recipe next time.

Broccoli Beef I
Edible, but not great. It's pretty quick to put together. I added in a can of Chinese mixed vegetables and some grated carrot for color.

Buttery Soft Pretzels
Yum. Made these for lunch one day, anticipating that I wouldn't be able to stop eating them. At least I saved calories by not eating them in addition to lunch =) These were good. Melted some butter and tried them with salt and mustard, and also with cinnamon sugar. Also good cold, although the sweetness is more noticeable. Not as chewy as I might have liked, but easy. I would suggest rolling them the width of a dime or less as they do rise some.
