Easy and very good but too sweet for my taste. I took out the cup of white sugar and replace it with a 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Increased the cinnamon to 1/2 teaspoon.

Catherine Koziatek reviewed Sweet, Salty, Spicy Party Nuts Recipe. 02/22/2019
I did not have cayenne pepper but added smoked paprika. I used unsalted nuts. The recipe needs more salt than what is indicated for my taste. I could not add garlic salt or garlic powder or onion powder because one person who may eat these nuts has allergies. Still rather bland. Added pepper and Maggi seasoning and curry powder. Could not add Worcestershire because it contains onions. Next time I make a batch just for my husband and me, I will add garlic salt and Worcestershire. I think this would be good also dusted in Ranch dressing powder and omit some of the other spices. I will also go a buy a small container of Cayenne, even though I don’t like very spicy food. It’s fun to experiment.

Catherine Koziatek reviewed Tay’s Twice-Baked Potato Casserole Recipe. 02/16/2019
Made mashed potatoes instead of baking the potatoes. 2 baking potatoes are definitely NOT enough for a 9x13 casserole. Takes about 2-1/2 pounds of medium size potatoes. Used sharp cheddar for extra flavor.

User-submitted image of completed recipe
Used a starchy potato cut 1/8 inch thick. Takes a good 90 minutes to cook.Used half and half instead of heavy cream. Used Swiss cheese and a bit of Provolone since I could not find Comté. Seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder (could not find my garlic salt). Make sure you season every layers.This is very close to what I grew up with in France. Merci Solange!
