Awesome idea for a Halloween treat! Great basic recipe to use as a spring-board for being creative. The cookie recipe is good and techniques described all produce good results. I followed some of the advice given in reviews where I used blanched almonds, painted them with red food colouring, and then I also used raspberry jam. What I found to be really effective is I used a brush to sort of smear the excess raspberry jam over the finger, I chopped off the ends and painted it with red food colouring, and using a brush, I sort of sprayed food colouring over the fingers, which made it look like blood dripped on the fingers. I found that it is best to not be meticulous with these as randomness produces more gory results! Making these was loads of fun! Will definitely make them again! (-:

Butternut Squash Soup II

Reviewed: Oct. 31, 2011

Great recipe! I added garlic. I love garlic so I added 3 or 4 cloves but this can be adjusted to taste. I blended the veggies with a cup of freshly made cashew milk. We loved it! (-:

Christmas Spice Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2006

These are great! My boyfriend loved them! Perhaps next time I'll use less molasses and see how it turns out because I felt that the taste was a bit too strong. After a few days it did taste better though.. These are very nice cookies! (:

Dora's Christmas Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2006

I halved the recipe since I didn't want as many cookies, and I needed to keep on adding flour to the mixture to make it manageable, but it worked out great! It made for some nice crunchy cookies! yummie!

Chocolate Orange Cookies

Reviewed: Dec. 29, 2006

I loved these cookies! After reading the reviews, I decided to blend the two mixtures into one, and make the dough more manageable by using 3/4-1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (instead of the suggested unsweetened choc), since i wanted to get a dough that I could cut with cookie-cutters. The chocolate taste was a bit strong so perhaps next time I'll use less cocoa powder and more flour to make the dough manageable. I also think I used more than the suggested amount of orange zest simply because I love the taste. I will make this one again! (:

Toad In a Hole

Reviewed: Jun. 24, 2006

This is great as a small snack! I loved it and so did my mom and my boyfriend likes it too! I didn't use cheese, I just added some salt and pepper instead.. and I used moderate and controlled heat.. I also covered the pan; eggs get cooked better in a covered pan.. yummie! I'm having one right now! (:
