"This recipe is a family favorite. We turned it into a salad, serving the chicken over Herb Salad Mix and adding a little goat cheese and roasted red pepper. Fantastic! The dressing is a keeper. I double the dressing recipe and give it time to really chill in the fridge." —jjleonard26

Pumpkin Cheesecake

"The best cheesecake ever. I get rave reviews whenever I make it. The only thing I found was that the recipe makes too much batter for a 9" springform pan. So I make smaller cakes using small Pyrex round bowls with the extra batter. These make great individual treats." —MaryannWimberly

Honey Cashew Chicken with Rice

Photo: Johnny Autry

"This was a good recipe and really easy to make. I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs since that's what I had in the fridge but otherwise followed the recipe pretty closely. It was pretty spicy (we like it that way) so might need to be dialed back if you're cooking for young children." —Samsublime

"Creamy, sweetness from the carmalized onions and roasted butternut squash, tempered with kale, with a salty hit from bacon. How could you go wrong with that?" —Kismet88

Buttermilk Pumpkin Waffles with Apples

"We are Vermonters and we are supposed to be loyal to maple syrup, right? Well, the Cider Syrup is just as good (or maybe just a little better!) than maple syrup. We had the syrup with our whole wheat pancakes and it was fabulous." —Weluvtocook

Skillet Chicken Pot Pie

Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Buffy Hargett

"Simply the best. The hash brown combined with milk and flour made a perfectly thicken base for the vegetables and chicken. I used a slightly larger amount of filling in a 12 in skillet to feed a larger crowd. Add a green salad and dinner is complete. I also had success with turkey instead of chicken. Versatile recipe...I love it! —lizhurry
