Comment on Chicken Gnocchi Soup by Melissa

I don’t know what I did wrong, but mine was too spicy for me to eat. I could tell that the flavor would have been amazing though if it weren’t hot. Next time I will probably omit the cayenne. My husband devoured it.

Comment on The Best Oven-Baked Bacon by Sha

I make mine this way I cover a lipped baking sheet with foil then two sheets of parchment paper. Then place bacon on a rack that fits into the lipped baking sheet. The bacon is put into a cold oven and temp set at 425. After it comes to temp add 4-5 minutes depending how crispy desired. No buckled baking sheet and bacon not sitting in grease. Works everytime!

Delicious and unexpected flavors.
I’ll be making this again and again this winter.
I love your recipes; the only difficulty—though it’s not really a big deal—is having to convert them to the metric system.

I have been using this recipe for two years. That was my first time attempting a pumpkin roll. It is delicious but I haven’t perfected the roll yet. It is a loose roll.

In reply to Kris. Yes, be sure to refrigerate this because of the cheesecake in the cake. :)

Comment on Slow Cooker Chili by Claire Bennett

This is exactly the kind of chili I want on a cold night — simple, comforting, and made with pantry staples I usually have on hand. I like that it is not super spicy as written, with the option to add more chili powder or a little cayenne for extra heat. The topping ideas are great too, especially the grated cheese, sour cream, and Fritos, and I love that leftovers freeze so well in bags for another busy night.

Does it need to be refrigerated or be left out on the counter.

In reply to Jessica. No, if using precooked chicken, you'll only need to bake it about half the time.

In reply to Jo. No, the recipe is correct. The 3/4 cup of sugar is beaten into the cream. :)
