Really easy to put together, and it's getting positive reviews from my coworkers! I left out the orange peel and nuts and used half white sugar, half brown sugar. Also, I used pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon and two cups of fresh cranberries. This didn't turn out as sweet as I expected, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2008

I made this for my first official Thanksgiving dinner, just a few days ago. Although this seemed like a lot of prep work, it really paid off! Even my dad, who is a stuffing traditionalist LOVED it. The flavors were great, I'll be making this every year! I cooked this outside the bird. It makes a lot, but it's all worth it. Like other reviewers, I cooked it covered at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, and then uncovered for 15. It was a bit loose, I might follow others' advice and use an egg next time - and I had to use extra broth...but it's great. Thanks for sharing this!

Delicious Ham and Potato Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2008

Great base recipe to start from! I changed things a little, and plan on diverting a bit more the next time, but it's a great foundation. What I did was I browned the onions, added 2 cloves of fresh garlic and then added the ham. Once everything started getting color, I went back to following the recipe. I served the soup over broccoli. For next time, I plan on doing the potatoes separate, and using the immersion blender on half. The soup comes out creamy but kinda thin...I like chunky, thick soups. So breaking up the potatoes will be an easy way to thicken the soup even more. I might add in more vegetables as well. All in all, a great recipe, that I will be making all winter long! Thank you!

Quick and Easy Brownies

Reviewed: May 28, 2008

These are quick and easy, but a bit light on chocolate for my taste. I followed the recipe exactly (maybe a little bit less flour) and mine turned out a light brown and taste only slightly of chocolate. I will make these again, since the recipe is so simple, but next time I will use more cocoa powder and probably some brewed coffee for extra flavor. I do like that all the ingredients are things I typically have on hand. Once it's tweaked, this will be great for baking whenever the mood hits!

Honey Butter Yule Ham

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2008

I made this for my first "solo-flight" Christmas dinner. Not only did it make the house smell amazing, but the ham was incredibly juicy and tasted wonderful. The only change I made was to add a dark, grainy mustard to the honey and butter. The spice added a great complement to the sweetness. I'm making this again this weekend for Easter and my family is really looking forward to it!

The Best Meatloaf

Reviewed: Aug. 20, 2007

Just made this last night, and it was fantastic! Tastes just like Mom's, which is what I was hoping for. I followed other reviewers' advice for more meat (2 lbs., worctershire sauce, an additional egg and seasoned bread crumbs). AMAZING. The green peppers and onions were still crunchy which added great flavour and texture. I did splurge a bit...instead of regular ground chuck, I used ground sirloin. It had less than 5% fat, so it didn't turn out all greasy. Will be making this for a long time to come!
