Day Before Mashed Potatoes
Too salty for me. I ended up having to mash a few extra potatoes to cut the salt. Otherwise I loved them.

Barbecued Lima Beans
Wow! These are the BEST version of lima beans I've found! Out of necessity I made some alterations. I used 1/2 tsp chili powder rather than hot sauce, added 1/2 tsp ground mustard, and used light corn syrup rather than pancake syrup. I also made a vegetarian version, so no bacon. Dilish!!!! Omg, sooo good. The aftertaste is incredible. p.s. I also followed a previous reviewers advice and only used 1/2 a c of ketchup and 1/4 c light corn syrup. For me, there was more than enough sauce.

Joey's Peanut Butter Cookies
Wow, these totally fell apart, completely! I followed the recipe to the letter, and they just did not hold together at all. Tasted okay... but no better than the traditional recipe. Update: I believe the key to these being successful would be that you'd have to allow them to cool on the pan for a long time before taking them off. Today the cookies have hardened quite nicely. The taste better today too.
