Robin's Peanut Butter Cookies
Yum! I did use 2 small eggs, omitted the dry peanuts, used nearly a cup of chuncky peanut butter, and added 3/4 cup chocolate chips (as previous reviewers had reccommended). Because of my changes, the dough was pretty sticky, and I wasn't really able to do the fork smooshy thing, but they were still delicious! I was able to make 30 good size cookies with one batch of dough. 10-11 minutes in my oven made them perfectly chewey, just the way I love them! Thanks for the great recipe!!

Baked Potato Soup
It was a blustery day, and I had most of the ingredients for this soup around the house, so I thought I'd give it a try. I am so glad I did! I did make a few changes: I didn't remove the bacon from the pot after it was crisped, I just added the onion and garlic right in, and I think I used more of that then was asked for. Like other reviewers, I increased the flour to 1/4 cup, and will probably use more next time. I left the skins on the potatoes, diced and roasted them before adding them to the soup. Since I had fresh basil, I chopped about 3 Tbsps, and added it with the heavy cream I had (instead of half and half). I also left out the hot sauce, thinking it could be added as needed to individual bowls. Everyone agreed that the flavor of this soup was wonderful! The only problem I had was that I should have doubled it for 4 people! Thank you so much for this recipe.

Pan Fried Swiss Chard
So good! I should have made twice as much for my family of 4. I used kale, and just chopped it into rough inch-and-a-half bits. I also used canadian bacon (it's what I had) and minced 2 garlic cloves instead of the garlic paste. I couldn't believe how fast it went at the table!
