This is my recipe, so am not reviewing but just wanted to comment that I liked the combination. I would caution that the pear should not be over ripe like mine was!! I had to use macadamia nuts instead - they were good! I wish I had smashed the blue cheese in with the butter, then topped with pears and nuts. Just an idea...!

This was a great side! Didn't have as much edamame as I thought, so my proportions of corn to edamame was just opposite as written. I was too impatient to wait for it to cool, so it was slightly warm when I added the tomato and feta. Didn't seem to detract from the whole dish! Just realized I forgot to add the vinegar. I'll put some on the left-overs tomorrow!!

I made a simplified version of this yummy breakfast. My pear was very ripe and very soft, so did not heat it. I had no 5-spice nor orange. I skipped the butter but served it with half & half b/c I made the oatmeal with water, not milk. Despite my shortcuts, this was delicious and hit the spot!

I wish my slices of bread were bigger!! I made the sandwiches in a Panini press and they were melty and delicious! PS I had mixed greens that included radicchio and honey turkey which looks like ham in the picture.

Yummy dessert! My topping was really gloppy and I had to kind of scrape it onto the surface of the fruit, but no matter - it turned out tasty anyway!!

Great combination of fruit! To make up for the difference between AU and US ingredients, etc, I added baking powder to my regular flour; I baked at 350ºF; I used 5 1/2 T of butter. I also use 3 small loaf pans, so I may not have baked them quite long enough, even though I did NOT test it in a crack, but in the tallest part of the bread!! Part of the inside was a little raw, but we didn't care! I made impromptu bread pudding out of one of the loaves - yummy!

This was great! I made about a half batch and served it over a bed of lettuce. What a good idea for using left over rotisserie chicken! I forgot the nuts when I took the picture and remember them after the first few bites, but really, it was just as satisfying without. Will be going into Best of folder.

DH and I both really liked this! After I read the recipe carefully, I realized it included cranberry sauce (which I did not have) vs. cranberries (which I did have). I had some lingonberry preserves and used that, since lingonberries are the Swedish version of cranberries! Didn't bother with the brown sugar, but I did add some 1/2 and 1/2 to serve. Yum!
