Made a Mediterranean Salsa w/ Pita Chips for the Euchre club that went over like gangbusters. They were scraping the bowl asking if there was more. I combined these 2 recipes which included Avocado, fresh Tomato, Feta, Sun Dried Tomatoes, Capers, Red Onion, Garlic, Olive Oil, Red Wine Vin and Dill:

Then there were the cookies I took to my work and DH took to his work potluck. The Cherry Nut Mudslides were pretty popular:

Traca's recipe from the Sugar Bakery in Seattle was yummy too. I cut into 1-2 bite pieces before dipping in the dark chocolate:

Mark & Joyce's Lemon cookies got good reviews too even though I think I over-creamed the butter/sugar and they weren't so crispy:

Gail's Raspberry Almond are still my favorite and apparently several others since they were the first to go. Only change is to use chopped slivered almonds instead of chunks:
