I've tried the smoky black bean dip! It's delicious--very creamy and smooth, great taste. I've also used it as a spread on flour tortillas, sort of like a roll-up, and mixed it with rice.

I'm sort of new to this cooking thing, but I'm getting braver in the kitchen every day!
My favorites so far:
1. Smokey Black Bean Dip - Um, if you haven't realized it by now, I'm a fan of black beans.
2. Peppermint Fudge Cake - If you love peppermint and chocolate, this cake will make your taste buds FREAK OUT--in a good way, of course.
3. Indian Chai Milk Tea - Soothing and comforting, this is great with regular white bread or a slice of sweet quick bread. A nice bedtime snack.

HanSolo's Sloppy Joes - they use ground turkey (or chicken) and they're wonderful. (I've never made Heather's from the Newsletter, so I can't compare the two.)
If the cinnamon rolls you're talking about are mine (here), I'm glad you like them. If they're somebody else's, would you let me know where to find the recipe - I love cinnamon. Thanks.

I was wondering.. has anyone tried the smoky black bean dip, or the green pea dip? how bout the crostinis? I've been interested in them all but haven't tried them!
I tried the Smoky Black Bean Dip and wasn't crazy about it - there's one on the recipe index that I liked a little better, but for this dish I think I just miss the high fat content too much to get into a low-fat version. Too many years of Frito-Lay's Refried Bean Dip. 
I also tried the Crostini with Roasted Garlic and Green Pea Dip. It wasn't for me (I'm not a big green pea fan and much prefer the Brushcetta with White Bean and Almond Dip), but I have a friend who's a vegan who adored it. It's the only recipe she's ever asked me for.

Kree,
I made the whitefish tonight, and I found it kind of bland... Do you do anything special to make it really good?

OK... here are my top 5....(not in order)
- Crunchy Skillet-Browned Garlic New Potatoes, Page 118
I use red, and you have to be patient while the water evaporates.
- Peppermint Fudge Cake, Page 246
YUMMY!! (but Heather makes it the BEST, trust me I've have it two different times when she has made it... must be her magic touch!)
- Brer Rabbit Carrot Cake, Page 242-243
So moist and yummy...the Sweet Orange Icing is a MUST!! Great for Easter!!
- Sweet Mango And Roasted Tomato Salsa, Page 67
this is great with and without mango, you could also use peaches. I've also used this to put over white rice and chicken as well.
- Sweet Cherry Almond Cake, Page 257
This is SO GOOD...I will be trying this with plums, maybe to bring for Christmas.

I didn't realize in the subject it said top 5  ...so after pumpkin apple spice bread, these are my favorite:
-Brer rabbit carrot cake
-peppermint fudge cake
-fat rice noodles with shrimp (cannot remember the actual name, don't have the book in front of me!)
-banana cream pie
These are all yummy, but I havent got the chance to make very much out of the book as I cannot get alot of the ingredients here! But everything looks very good.
