Gingerbread Men Cookies

Reviewed on Dec. 16, 2009 by Shannon

These were amazing! The dough was rather hard to work with while adding the flour. It was also tough to roll it out with the rolling pin. However, they turned out really nicely - perfect combination of crunchy yet moist! I made some royal icing: beat together 2 egg whites and 2 tsps lemon juice, then slowly beat in 3 cups of powdered sugar. Yum! Definitely making again next year!

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

Reviewed on Dec. 8, 2009 by Shannon

I've made this recipe twice now. The first time I made it, I made a loaf as well as a dozen muffins. They didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped--you could pretty much taste the vegetable oil (not a great flavor). So this time I made it with 2/3 cup cinnamon apple sauce and 1/3 cup oil. They turned out so much better!! Fluffy, sweet, flavorful. I made all muffins this time, and I put streusel on top too, made of flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter. This adds a little extra oomph to the deliciousness of this recipe, in my opinion!! Muffins baked for about 30 minutes.

Blueberry Dump Cake

Reviewed on Nov. 3, 2009 by Shannon

I didn't have that many frozen blueberries left, so I also used frozen blackberries and raspberries. Because they were frozen, I had to cook it for about 15 minutes longer. I used a suggestion and added more butter (I used 3/4 cup), but I wish I hadn't! It would have been perfect with 1/2 cup. But otherwise, this turned out great and was really easy. I'll be using this one again for sure.
