Perfection
5 stars this recipe is yummy!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic!! You are the one who turned me onto Pomegranate molasses – Man these flavors are Awesome!! You get my Five(5) Stars
I’ve seen many recipes here that were interesting, but I fail to see why this one is getting so many votes. To make sure I was not missing something I tried it.
The ingredient combination is poor and the aspect is borderline disgusting.
Gee…the above post was unnecessarily nasty! She must be cooking with sour grapes…now, THAT’S “borderline disgusting”. I seriously doubt Ms.Q tried this. Michaela is a very accomplished cook and her recipes (many of them I HAVE prepared…all fantastic) are great.
Mmm…
Sounds so good!
Hmmm…. sounds wonderful. Brie and fruit- does it get any better than that?
To Jayne Q; Try to be positive, your life will be so much better for it. Wishing you a Happy holiday and a much better New Year. Perhaps you would like to re-think your harshness and think about how the other person feels, if it was you I am sure you would be hurt by this type of response. Maybe your having a bad day?, we all do. It’s never too late to sat your “Sorry”.
Looks amazing. Can’t wait to try it.
