Very moist cake. Good even without glaze! I used apple cider instead of orange juice in the cake and the glaze to give it more apple flavor. Also cut cinnamon to 1 tablespooon - that was plenty! Will add nuts to the apple mixture next time. And maybe a dash of nutmeg.

Pralines

Easy to make but really, really sweet! You can only eat a piece of one. I would probably not make again.

Peppermint Meringues

Reviewed: Dec. 16, 2009

Added the peppermint extract and people loved the taste! I felt that they did not puff up as well as they should have. Will try them again. Recipe information should be adjusted to reflect the number that it actually does yield - it's not 48 unless you make them really tiny!!

Shepherd's Pie VI

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009

Not a bad basic recipe - a bit bland though! Added garlic powder while browning the meat. Also 1/2 tsp. thyme. Could have used a bit more liquid - I added more beef broth. Used frozen veggies instead and put sour cream in the mashed potatoes. My boys both liked the results.

Big Soft Ginger Cookies

Reviewed: Nov. 25, 2009

Made these for Thanksgiving dessert. Taste is great but turned out rather thin!? Not thick and crackled like in the photo. Will try them again soon. Perhaps more flour??
