Very good recipe! Only changes made were I replaced the walnuts with toffee covered peanuts (couldn't find honey roasted in bulk) and couldn't find cranberry vinaigrette, so got Girard's raspberry vinaigrette instead. Toffee peanuts made it a little sweet, so will probably go with unsalted roasted next time. Thanks! :)

Good recipe, just made a few tweaks. I didn't bother rinsing the beans, just used the can and top to drain and reserved fluid. Didn't have curry, so used 4 tsps of cumin. Only had a little over 4 tbsps of fresh lemon juice to use, but I think 6 tbsp might have been a bit much. Only needed 1/4 cup reserved fluid from cans to make a nice consistency. Added a bit of salt, cayenne and freshly ground pepper. Delicious!!

Very good use of acorn squash! I changed the recipe quite a bit according to what I had in the cupboard. I took 3 acorn squash I had been given, cut them in half & cleaned them, rubbed olive oil all over them, then place them cut side down on parchment paper on a baking sheet and roasted them for 45 minutes at 400 degrees in the oven. Then mashed them up for the recipe. I doubled the amount of curry and used olive oil instead of butter. Didn't use flour and sauteed the onions and celery with a bit of salt & pepper till mostly softened, then added the curry & dill and sauteed that for a couple of minutes to bring out the curry flavor. Also added a little of the chicken broth too keep veggies from burning. Didn't use the chicken bouillon and added the rest of the 14.5 oz can and the pinch of cayenne. Then added 10 oz of rice milk and let that come to a boil before added the roasted and mashed acorn squash. Added some more salt (Real Salt) and freshly ground pepper before pureeing it all in the blender. Put it all back in pot and added a little garlic powder with some more Real Salt and pepper. Turned out really well and not much left!

Too bad we can't do half stars, because I would give this recipe 4 1/2. This is because I did make some changes. I proofed one packet of Hodgson Mill Active Dry Yeast in 1/4 cup water with 1/4 tsp of natural sugar (per instructions) for about 5-10 minutes. I warmed up the remaining 3/4 water to add later to the recipe. I put everything, with the exception of starting out with 1 1/2 flour, in the food processor and mixed thoroughly. Then I added another whole cup of flour gradually and pulsing it til it was mixed. That brings the total flour tally to 2 1/2 cups. I also put 1 tbsp of vital wheat gluten per 1 cup of unbleached flour. Then I kneaded the dough for about 8-10 minutes of a floured surface, adding a little more flour each time it got sticky. Put it in an oiled bowl covered with a damp cloth and stuck it in a warmed oven for 1 hour, then punched dough down and put it in a 9x5x3 loaf pan lined with parchment paper and covered it again and put it in warmed oven for 45 minutes (I would recommend sprinkling a little flour on top before covering it a second time as the dough will stick to the damp cloth). Then took loaf pan with dough out and let it rise another 15 minutes while I warmed up the oven to 350. Baked the loaf at 350 for 35 minutes as recommended by another reviewer. Let it cool on rack for 5-10 minutes then put in into a plastic bread bag so the heat would help keep the loaf soft. Husband and kids gave a big thumbs up!! Thank you!! :)

This is a good cookie. It is a bit on the sweet side and the vanilla is a little overpowering. I think next time I will reduce both sugars, 1/3 regular sugar and 3/4 packed brown, like another reviewer suggested. Also will reduce the vanilla to 1 tsp. Also will likely reduce the chocolate chips to 1-1 1/2 cups, as two cups seems like a little much for this recipe. Thank you for the yumminess! :)
