Steakhouse Chex Mix I heeded the advice of HBcook: put all the spices in the butter, put all except onion in the mix, and used the oven baking method. I also reduced the cayenne to 1\4 teaspoon and used Hot and Spicy cheese crackers. The heat was a good level for us, not overwhelming. It disappeared quickly at our house.

Layered Zucchini Ragu Bake Taste is good, sorta like lasagna. DH liked it alot and went back for seconds. I liked the rosemary and garlic flavor in the the white sauce. If I make it again I will use about half ground pork and half ground beef and diced tomatoes rather than crushed. In my opinion, the potato is optional and the zucchini would be easier to eat if it was in fork size chunks. I could not fit all the potato and zucchini in my 9 x 13 glass cake pan and ended up using a glass loaf pan for the overflow. 3 spoons because it is not a simple recipe. It has multiple cooking methods and dirtied a lot of pots and pans. Definitely not a quick weeknite dinner. It makes a lot, so good for a crowd or to freeze for another time.

Velvet Crumb Cake I use the cake part of the recipe for blueberry muffins. Just add I cup or more of fresh or frozen blueberries, then bake in muffin pans. My favorite pan is called a muffin top pan, its wider and shallower than a standard muffin pan. Makes the muffins much easier to eat.
