OK, I had to vote for A Taste of Koko – Yule Log Cake feat. When I first opened the post, I thought it was a “cheat” using the item for presentation rather than IN the recipe, but then I realized it was both. Way to go!
I have to admit that Okay, Check it Out – Forest Floor Donuts most caught my attention though. It was less about the mushrooms (I’m not a shroom person myself), and more about the spruce tips. I’ve never heard of them before, but I’m very curious now and will have to see about getting some. I do use rosemary a LOT – not sure how similar it is in flavor/texture.
Nice job guys. Good luck!
November 15th, 2011 at 3:27 pmI really liked A Taste of Koko’s Yule Log and Okay, Check it Out’s Forest Floor Donuts (really cute title for them!), but I voted for Romeo Cucina’s Stuffed Acorn Squash. It looked interesting and it is something that I would be more likely to make in my own kitchen. Good luck everyone!

They’re very tender, moreso that rosemary, if only because the needles are thinner. I’ve ordered spruce tip syrup before, and although it’s good, it’s a much much fainter flavor than the tips themselves – but has the benefit of being available year round.
