Everything looks so delicous in this cookbook I couldn't wait until Thanksgiving to try out the recipes. I just happened to have some bananas that were very ripe so I made the banana bread with walnuts. The only thing I did differently was I used butter in place of the shortening and margarine. Who uses margarine anymore? I thought that was bad for you. But anyway it turned out fine with the substitution. I also left out the blueberries because that sounded strange.Some of the other recipes that looked great included:Pumpkin CoffeecakeSpice Apple TeaPecan PieCheddar BiscuitsTurkey Pot Pie (which serves 16)Some of the recipes have interesting combinations that I would not have thought of like yams and apples or vanilla flavored sweet potatoes or cranberries with orange marmalade.Now the only thing I'd probably change about this cookbook is the table of contents. I'd put it at the beginning of the book. Although the book is quite short so this really isn't a big issue.Since the banana bread was so good I feel these are recipes you can trust. Baking times may however vary a bit. I ended up cooking the bread for an extra 15 minutes. Fortunately I was on the phone talking to a friend while this baked so time flew by. It is so warm and cozy to go to bed with your whole home scented with cinnamon.Oh and if you want to cook with your Kindle in the kitchen just put it inside of a ziplock plastic bag.~The Rebecca Review
