I haven't tried this recipe, but it looks simple and delicious. INGREDIENTS 7 tablespoons healthy margarine, softened 1 1/4 cups sugar (or a non-refined substitute) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/3 cup...make sugar cookies, and she'd dust the tops with big crystals of sugar, they were pure delicious. What would you suggest instead of almonds as a topping (not that they wouldn't be fine on their own)

This recipe comes from the December 2008 issue of Cook's Illustrated. I tried it this afternoon and it actually worked. Although I accidentally burned the first batch of cookies (many of which were carbonized...with turbinado sugar (you can skip this step and the cookies will be just as tasty.) The magazine gives a number of variations on this basic recipe, including chocolate, lemon and almond flavors

You will need: 1 largish bowl 1 baking dish Stale bread- any amount is fine. Sugar Milk 1 tsp vanilla 1 egg Cinnamon Nutmeg Butter Preheat oven to 350.

Homemade apple and quince pie , originally uploaded by jangkaeng . Despite the massive amount of school drama going on, I'm still having some fun. Making apple and quince pie with Jello...with sugar and cinnamon. 10. Bake at 425 for 1 hour, until crust is golden brown. Try it! It's awesome. And if you don't have quince just substitute two small apples in - it'd still be a kick-ass pie.

So I decided last weekend to try using real pumpkin to make recipes. I've baked/cooked with almost everything else that appeared at the market this summer - so I figured I'd mess around with pumpkins....am going to use for soup. And I bought a Pie Pumpkin - which I roasted and pureed and is now sitting on the counter, in a crust, waiting to be baked. I am eagerly awaiting the results... yum (i hope
