This is the first recipe that I felt I needed to rate. I misplaced it and had to resort to another recipe....very disappointing. This is the best sausage gravy recipe ever. I have rave reviews when I make it, as a matter of fact, a few people only know me by this treat at work. This is definitely 5 stars. No changes necessary!!

Bright avocado and orange salad tossed with toasted walnuts, crisp diced turnip, and a honey-mint walnut oil dressing. A fresh, crunchy salad with bold contrasts in every forkful. Ready in 20 minutes.

Lemon cream and nut cookies, buttery shortbread ovals spread with homemade lemon curd and crowned with toasted almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, prunes, rum-soaked raisins, and candied orange. A jewel-box holiday cookie.

The colors the fruits used in the cookies suggest those of the robes worn by the four ordres mendiants, monastic orders that originally lived on charity -- the Augustinians, Carmelites, Dominicans and Franciscans.

Grand Marnier chocolate pecan torte: a flourless ground-pecan chocolate cake laced with orange liqueur, glazed with silky chocolate ganache, and crowned with whipped cream rosettes and fresh orange slices. A showpiece dinner party dessert.
