ON top of the melted butter, use a few table spoons of butter to cut in to the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture (Enough to give you small crumblies?). Add in chopped pecans (probably about half a cupish? Depends on what you like). I would also toast up some chopped pecans to add to the top after you frost them.

Alton's devil's food cake is awesome as well. Really, all of his recipes are fabulous.

My only specialty is French Toast. \o/ But that's easy.

UMMMMM. I can't remember what your cooking preferences are. Here is something new I've been making with blue cornmeal I found in the bulk section of one of my local grocery stores. It's a little more expensive but it comes out less dry than the yellow kind.

BLUE CORNBREAD

1 cup blue cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
Directions

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Mix cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Sift 3 times.
Stir the eggs and milk into the cornmeal mixture. Place the butter in the prepared baking dish, and melt in the preheated oven. Mix hot, melted butter into the cornmeal mixture. Transfer cornmeal mixture to the prepared baking dish.
Bake on center rack in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges of the cornbread pull away from the sides of the dish, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.

Oh, also I accidentally made something kind of good yesterday because I couldn't find any single hamburger type buns at the store. All they had was focaccia with herbs on top, so I got a piece of that, cut it into a square, sliced that in half (so it was like a bun) and turned it into a turkey burger with cooked mushrooms and a slice of swiss cheese, which I melted by putting on the burger patty right before I took it off the grill. I toasted the focaccia and then put some mayo and Dijon mustard on it and it was good.

One more:

Red Lentil Soup

2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped finely
1 celery stalk, chopped finely
1 large carrot, grated
1 bay leaf
1 cup red lentils
5 cups chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon dry ginger or 1 teaspoon grated

Can be served with a tablespoon of plain yogurt stirred into the center of each bowl.

Place butter, celery, onion and carrot into a large soup pan, and cook until vegetables are soft. Alternatively, do this step in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave, and transfer softened vegetables to soup pan. Add bay leaf and lentils. Stir fry for a minute or so, then add chicken stock and ginger. Boil until lentils are soft. You can also add more celery and carrots if you want to. I do that, and sometimes I also add leek.
