apple dappy from Cinnamon, Spice, & Warm Apple Pie: Comforting Baked Fruit Desserts for Chilly Days

Aside from the great name (apple dappy apple dappy apple dappy), this is a very tasty recipe. It's easy to put together. It tastes sort of like a cobbler, but in the form of a dessert roll. I'd suggest... read more >

Halfway cookies

These cookies are a bit more fussy than your average chocolate chip cookie, but they use basically the same ingredients, and make something much more interesting. The meringue topping makes it all worth it.

A couple of suggestions: When they say push in the chocolate chips so that they don't move around, it's really worth doing it. It's not a disaster, but my chips definitely migrated around a lot during the meringue spreading for some uneven distribution. Also, as the recipe says, the meringue is really sticky. I found an offset spatula the ideal tool for spreading and smoothing it.

This is really yummy. Slow roasting the tomatoes makes them sweet and wonderful, and the added butter gives it a fantastic finishing touch.

I think the instructions are for too high a heat and/or too long a cooking time. In my oven there were a lot of blackened tomatoes after about 1.5 hours at 350 degrees.

Worth some experimentation to tweak - just keep an eye on it the first time you make it.

Spiced Lamb Meatballs

These were very tasty. I liked a simple baked meatball idea, and these worked well. I had a light hand on the spices, since it seemed like a lot of flavors, but you can definitely punch it up even more.

It does make lots, so plenty to freeze for later.

This was a huge success! The creamy squash replaces the texture of the ricotta, but adds a richness and sweetness to the whole dish.

My only minor complaint is that I would prefer an actual measurement for the amount of squash to use (instead of the given, "2-2.5 lb squash") so that I could use the already prepared roasted squash I had on hand. But I guess it is lasagne, so its pretty flexible.

Ok, I admit that I used regular button mushrooms and spinach instead of cremini and chard, but I don't think that impacted the overall falvor.
