"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

Mushroom-Herb Spaghetti
"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

Jalapeño, Sausage, Jack, and Egg Breakfast Braid
"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!"

Warm Turnip Green Dip
"A huge hit when I served it as an appetizer at a dinner party and everyone asked for the recipe. Not a trace left. I did make it a second time using collard greens which was still ok, but too strong. Stick to the turnip greens. Served it with bread sticks and chunks of homemade bread." —Keiko123

Mixed Citrus Green Salad
"This salad was a treat for a Minnesotan in mid-February. My husband took creative license at the grocery store, so we made a few substitutions. I threw in some low-fat feta & avocado to make a complete lunch. I will definately be making this salad for my family & will serve at our beach picnics this summer." —pastafan

"Heart shapes are very easy to cut without much waste, if you're unsure use a template or heart shape cookie cutter. This recipe is outstanding and makes Valentines Day just a bit more special with your loved ones." —markjean

Mahimahi with Pineapple Chutney
"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

Braised Chicken with Kale
"Whoa. This is a very delicious recipe. I followed it exactly and found the flavor to be just right. The chicken was falling off the bone, and the kale was also very tender--perfect for people who are new to kale and/or think they don't like it. It is homey, simple, and delicious... probably one of the best things you'll whip up on a Wednesday this winter." —cjc2472
