5-Star Reviews: January 2010

"TERRIFIC! This is a hearty and delicious side dish that takes around 30 minutes to make. I like to use it as a side to grilled pork and chicken dishes." -TheBigCrunch

"This is truly wonderful. I make it along with a big bowl of soup for lunch during the week. It's sweet, crumbly, smoky and delicious!" -Lara

"WONDERFUL! I used pork filets rather than cut up pork tenderloin, but no matter, it was awesome. Fresh tasting, simple, so delicious. We added fresh tomatoes with basil, and...just so good." -miashall

"Absolutely delicious! The scallops were perfectly seared and it tasted like something you would get at a restaurant. I used white wine instead of vermouth and loved the results."

"If you like pecan pie, you will LOVE this instead. Nutty, chewy, and just delicious. Can even be frozen for later use." -SharonSTX

"This soup was awesome, great flavor from the roasting of vegetables. I will make this again and again!" -B

"This was the best meatloaf I have ever tasted...the spinach and other veggies really do add a lot, and the oatmeal just seems like a healthier addition than bread crumbs." -Dr.Ashley

"This cake is everything it looks like in the picture, a true and worthy homage to the peanut butter cup. The cake is just right, neither moist nor dry. The filling is so indulgent and creamy! Don't forget to top with nuts and pb cups! This is really a rich, decadent special-occasion cake – wonderful!" -DiscoMom

"I've cooked this recipe at least 10 times. Everybody loves it. I've even used beef short ribs, and it turns out just as good." -pdrjay

"I tried this because my daughter is a vegetarian and I enjoy offering her more nutritional choices that she might think of. She would never eat spinach or mushrooms on her own. She loved this!!! She has asked for it over and over again. It's delicious and different and so easy to prepare. This would be great to a pot luck." -KristinMattingly

"These rolls were amazing!! This is what I will do with all my mashed potato leftovers from now on. No more throwing them away!" -Sarah

"Absolutely delicious! Easy to prepare for a quick lunch (one dish meal). The crunchiness of the toasted sourdough bread adds a great texture to the complimentary tastes of the bitter arugala, juicy acidic tomato (I used homegrown from our garden - extra yummy!), smooth provolone and herbed pesto mayo. A definite keeper & palate pleaser!"

"Great recipe. It was different from the traditional stew recipes I am used to; I enjoyed trying a new spin on an old mainstay and so did my family apparently – everyone cleaned their bowls!" -srh0029

"Woke up this morning and couldn't wait to try this recipe. I wasn't disappointed! It was moist, light, & delicious. Only thing I did differently was to divide the batter into two 7"x13" loaf pans and bake for 50 mins. Can't wait to share this recipe with my friends!" -Woody2202

"Great recipe! I had to make a few modifications based on what I had in the fridge and pantry...but overall, great refreshing drink. I left out the banana since I'm not a fan and it turned out nice and yummy. Will make again." -jl

"This cake is outstanding! I made the cake for our company christmas party. All the employees loved it! One person said it was the best cake she'd ever had." -Deanna

"This recipe was relatively easy and very, very good. My husband loves goat cheese, so I am always looking for innovative ways to serve it. I substituted cooked spaghetti squash for the linguine and served it with a grilled steak." -onecentinvegas

"An excellent basic recipe that leaves a lot of room for customizing. I make this with spinach, bacon, and asiago, or ham and a hash-brown potato crust." -carinnemj

"My first time to make popovers and they couldn't have been easier. I made them in muffin pans and cooked for 35 minutes. PERFECT! and delicious!"

"This is an excellent family recipe. Hubby and kids enjoyed it." -2boys4joy

"Oh my goodness...this is died and gone to heaven delicious!"

"This soup has become one of our winter time staples. So very easy and tasty too! At first I was uneasy about the long list of ingredients, but it's actually very inexpensive and makes a nice big batch. Love it!" -wemawane

"This is a great easy meal paired with a salad—even made it twice this week! It combines 2 of our favorite weeknight treats – pizza and tacos." -Lisa

"I doubled this and made for my first dinner party of 12. It couldn't have been better! I followed the recipe exactly with great results. It was sooo easy and looked sooo impressive. Will definitely make again and again!"

"Absolutely fabulous! This cake creates a sensation wherever you serve it. A great reader recipe. Everyone is amazed when I offer to give out the recipe. I would give this more than 5 stars!" -Tamara

"Wow! What a great meal! My family loved the great taste of the sauce and beef, very rich tasting and creamy. I can't wait to make this dish for out-of-town guests. I'll be recommending this one to family and friends." -nancy

"I will never buy pancake mix again this was so easy to mix up and made the fluffiest pancakes ever! I didn't have buttermilk, so I used 3/4 c of milk and added 1 tablespoon of lemon juice." -Nana

"Being Cajun, I know what a good seafood dish should taste like, and this was great!! My husband loved it too. It's even better as leftovers. I served it with garlic bread and a tossed salad." -Lill

"The only thing you'll wish you did differently was double it! These are the best pita I've ever tasted!" -Nikki

"Simple and quick recipe that tastes like something served at a top-notch restaurant. It makes a great accompaniment to any Mexican or southwestern main dish." -Jeff Axelrod

"Yummy. One of my favorite deserts. It bakes up like a peanut-butter shortbread. So good. Was worth buying the jelly roll pan for! Would be good to take to a pot luck because it makes a lot." -rgnchris
