"I made this right after viewing the show. Simple and quick, and I had most of the ingredients on hand. The only substitution I made was the bouillon base and the diced tomatoes since I didn't have those. I had beef stock leftovers, and a can of crushed tomatoes with basil, and stirred in a big spoonful of tomato paste. The recipe calls for 1 ts""

"Try this with strawberries....yum. Easiest recipe ever. The dough is soft and gooey, and the fruit tastes warm and flavorful. The recipe in her book uses just one cup of flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of sugar. Both work well, depending on how much dough you want. In our family, it's all about the dough!

I let them cool instead of baking, then seal in bags with my Food Saver and pop them into the freezer. Then when I come home from work I just preheat the oven, make a salad, pop a single serving into the oven and dinner is ready in 20 minutes. This larger one makes for a convenient impromptu gathering of friends. They bring the wine!

"I love the flavor of grenadine. The real thing that is. The stuff you buy in the liquor store is mostly sugar and very little if any pomegranate.

Anyway, this tea is a delightful change of pace. I make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas since I first saw Giada make it. The kids are particularly happy with it. Thanks Giada.

Tasty little libation, either amount you like to use.

I wouldn't toss the strained cranberries though. Used mine in my cranberry conserve. yum
