This is simple to make with ingredients already in the pantry. I made a few changes though. I added a can of Roasted San Marzano Tomatoes. I used crushed red peppers since I did not have ground red chile pepper. I used frozen shrimp (already cooked, deveined, and with no shells). I used vegetable broth versus chicken broth since I am not eating meat for lent. This was fabulous. The recipe is a keeper!

It was okay. I'll try it again. Might have been that I was doing too many things at one time.

Finally, I found the perfect sugar cookie. One that's easy to make, easy to roll, and tastes delicious. The only downside, is they're going so fast I might not get to decorate them! This is a "must-have" recipe in every baker's christmas cookie repertoire.

I've made this biscotti several times. It's my "go-to" recipe. I've tried other biscotti recipes, but I keep returning to this one. I actually prefer the vegetable oil over butter. It gives it a better texture. You can dress this up, or down. It's simple to add different extracts, nuts, even chips (chocolate, butterscotch). I tend to prefer it just the way it is, except I substitute the anise for vanilla extract.

I made it exactly as is. I agree with some reviewers that the topping would have been better with brown sugar, and a touch of vanilla would give it just the right kick. It's not my favorite recipe on ALLrecipes. I But, its' definitely a good recipe. Especially, if you need something quick since ingredients are already in your pantry.

This is pretty much the perfect recipe. It's easy to make, wonderful, and tasty. I tend to take this to parties in the fall, and it is always a big hit. I haven't met a person that doesn't love it. I typically shy away from recipes that incorporate box mixes, but this is the exception!
