Good stuff! I made two pies; one was with a gluten free crust!

I am not a bread maker but this recipe using a bread machine made it super easy!! I substituted quinoa for amaranth seeds. I really like it but it’s not as fiber-rich as I was expecting. I might add finely chopped pecans next time. My husband was not as keen on it because the crust was hard and it wasn’t sweet. He had different expectations. After wrapping it in plastic wrap it was not as hard and he wanted some with his soup. I might add honey and cinnamon to the next batch and make rolls instead of loaves, to eat for breakfast. I was looking for a bread with high fiber to help lower cholesterol. I will definitely do this again!

So good!! Thank you for the recipe! The only change I made was to double the apple filling. I got 9 pies out of this! I made the filling and dough the day before. Assembling the pies and cooking them was easy! What I thought would be a big task and messy kitchen was very manageable! I’m going to make some people very happy!

Cookies looked great! Texture was good. I thought the chocolate chips actually hid the peanut butter taste. If I make these again, I will add chopped dry roasted peanuts and save the chocolate for chocolate chip cookies.

Rated it 4 stars because the sauce needed to be doubled (which I did). I used Sriracha sauce in place of the hot chili paste, and used plain chicken tenders, which cooked quickly and were, well, tender! Served it with BirdsEye Chicken flavored rice with broccoli and carrots, microwaved, and oh so easy! I didn't know if both water chestnuts and peanuts were necessary, but they are! Husband said it was my best Chinese dish and he went back for second helping! Great recipe, thanks Arlene!
