5-Star Reviews: February 2011

"This is a delicious and easy recipe. Definitely a keeper for a weeknight supper. I followed the recipe exactly. This meal got a thumbs up from my kids and my husband!" —Stephanie

FANTASTIC. So quick, and a wonderful combination of flavors. The only problem was that I wanted to eat the entire batch by myself. Make extra apples! —CSC

Really good! My daughter loved it. I have also made it with 1/2 lb each of pork sausage and ground beef instead of chicken - still good. —Karen92157

"Delicious!!! I will be making this a lot this winter, i loved it. Made a double batch, 2 tbsp honey, 3 lemon juice…"

We really liked this pasta sauce! It was really fast to put together and it was especially nice that the sauce cooked while the spaghetti boiled. The fresh herbs really made the dish. We'll make this one again, for sure; next time I'll probably double the sauce so there is more for leftovers. —Renee

Cute idea! I didn't do the spicy stuff to keep it kid friendly. I just happened to have all needed ingredients (usually keep pizza dough for my son). Would be an easy dish to make for houseguests or even when you are a houseguest. Will make again!

Excellent. It is appropriate for everyday meals or special occasion. Many times I substitute various types of seafood to whatever I have on hand and it's always delicious! —Rebecca

Absolutely perfect blend of flavors. We put the beef and onion mixture in the crock pot in the morning, added the root vegetables early afternoon and everything ended up the perfect texture. We will definitely be making this again. —Azjargaltai

"I made these with not much hope that I would like them, but because I am on a diet, I thought I would try. Well..........they were super, everyone loved them. So now its back to the kitchen to make another batch! YUM!!" —Janet

"Such a fast and delicious weeknight meal! Served with the broccoli with sour cream sauce as suggested for a well rounded meal."

This is now my signature dessert. Beautiful presentation. Simple: a novice can do. So moist, no ice cream needed. With the cake you cut off, you can combine with some of the remaining frosting and make "cake suckers" with lollipop sticks or craft sticks.

"Great variation from our everyday standbys...this was easy enough to make on a week night but good enough to serve to guests. Leftovers reheat nicely the next day...this recipe made enough for 2 dinners for 2 people & then some. Definitely a keeper." —nicole

We have made this recipe several times, and everyone always loves it. It's so easy, and there are so few dishes to wash afterwards! Highly recommended! —Laurel

These were so easy, delicious, and made a great presentation!! I did half of them with semi-sweet chocolate chips and half with milk chocolate. I will definately make them again. They would make a great gift! —jodypl

I have made this just about every week since I got the recipe. My husband and I love it because it's so easy and it's easy to adapt to whatever you have in the cupboard or fridge. My husband now wants me to make them for his family, so I can impress them with my delicious food! —sbgard

This is always a hit for breakfast, brunch or dinner. Very easy to make ahead and reheat later. A delicious comfort dish. —Julie

"Oh my, we loved this recipe. It was easy to make ahead and warm up later, so definitely something that could be done mid week. By the time the fish is baked and the salad made, you've got dinner on the table in 15 minutes." —temoporary texan

"Deeelish! Made a batch the other night (only got about 20 cookies as i made them bigger) and they flew off the plate! So i made another batch last night. Texture and flavor make them the best oatmeal cookies i've ever had!" —ckurtz

Super easy to make, and got rave reviews from my family. Definitely roast on a bed of celery stalks, whole carrots, and onions - they taste divine after cooking in the chicken stock. —mbd722

"I made these wraps for a tapas party, and they were AMAZING. They were so hearty. They were also great the next day, so can be made a day ahead and refrigerated." —maureen

Very good! This dish was super easy and quick. I used cheddar instead of swiss and it was great. I'll definately make it again. —mom2dougherty

"This pizza was great! It had a great taste and simple to make. However, I did use a tube of the Pillsbury pizza crust because this was a week night dinner and didn't have time to make my own dough. I did add the cornmeal to the pan and then put the dough on top. I thought this was awesome." —mylilhunny13

"Simply the best! I serve this dish whenever we have someone new over the house. They always go home raving what a great cook I am. I'm not really, it's just this is so simple and delicious." —katebell

"I made these cupcakes for my household and made some extras to take to the neighbors. They were so good that they never made it over to the neighbors....my husband ate them all! He says it is the best cupcake he has ever had. I stored them in a cake container and they kept just fine for several days." —Candace B

Very easy to make. The best lemon chicken recipe I've ever made! The whole family enjoyed this dish. Instead of cutting the chicken breast in half & using a rolling pin, I bought thin cut breasts at the store. —n/a

"Superb! Our family loved this. We served it with basmati rice, broiled zucchini and Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio (2008). We poured the sauce onto the rice too." —DNL

This is simply an amazingly good, easy, outstanding recipe. Our family and friends have eaten this meal on numerous occasions with so much gusto and enthusiasm. Preparation is quick without too much cleanup.

Delicious! I used heath chips and dark chocolate chips instead of chopped candy bars. No one knew this started with a mix!! —Kim
