Oatmeal-Brown Sugar Pancakes with Banana-Walnut Syrup Favorite every time! Every age of guest loves this recipe at my house. It's a fun Sunday family breakfast or a sophisticated brunch with discerning guests. Cooking: I make as described. It cooks a little thicker than the normal Bisquick recipe for pancakes. It's easy to put together and the items are always available at my house. Taste: Great! Rich. There is a complexity of flavor. It feels warm, rich, creamy and hearty. Soooo good. Overall: Delicious. Winner, winner, winner!

Pizza Deviled Eggs Summer picnics have an emotional feeling in my family -- and if picnics had a taste, it would most certainly include these eggs. First of all, they *look* delicious. My cooking almost never looks like the sample picture, but these very easily did. Every guest at the party said they looked stunning. And then of course they have to *taste* good. The taste was creamy (because of the cheese) and then spicy (because of the pepperoni). I followed the recipe as shown. For the cheese ratio, I used 3/4 parmesan and 1/4 romano for the allotted cheese portion. I highly recommend this recipe.

Baked Spinach Artichoke Dip Debut at our 2011 holiday party in a fondue pot. I skipped the baking all together and heated 30 minutes in advance and then left it on low throughout our party to keep warm. HUGE hit with guests. I skipped the red pepper and added a bit more chopped garlic (probably 1 teaspoon) and added extra cheese (1/4 cup of each mozzarella, parm and cheddar). Super easy to make. Ingredients were fairly affordable. Prepped a day in advance in one pot (that I was later serving in). It was delicious. Served with scoop tortilla chips. When someone asked me what it was and I told them, they said they didn't like artichokes or spinach but they had sat over the bowl and happily eaten 10 scoops of it. Highly recommend it! But make a double batch -- because you'll always need it :)
