5-Star Reviews: January 2012

"Guests could not stop raving about it, went back for seconds and thirds, and the whole thing was completely gone fairly quickly. This combination of flavors was so fresh and complex. I will make it again and again." -Ginitown

"This recipe was amazing. I was in charge of our girls night out dinner at someone else's home. I got out of work late, came home made the dinner...transported to our meeting place and everyone thought I had been cooking for hours. Easy and delicious!" —Edie

"This spread was excellent! Looks delicious, smells delicious, and it is delicious.This is definitely a crowd pleaser. I will most definitely make this again." -moviegirl

"Love it! Everyone I serve it to loves it as well. It's also easy to make the salsa and filling ahead of time. I always make a double recipe of the salsa and freeze half for another time. It's easier since the salsa verde we get comes in a 16 oz jar. I serve it with black beans and corn or salad." —Emily

"This is delicious and so easy! The cauliflower softens just enough, and the flavor is great. We usually have it as a side with Indian dishes." -allisonjessee

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

"This meatloaf is the best meatloaf I have ever had. It's moist (rare for turkey meatloaf), full of flavor, and has great texture." -osufan11

"Before this recipe my husband was the official banana bread baker in our home, but he has been booted! This is not only healthy its super moist with wonderful texture. The icing just takes it to another level. I make this bread at least once a week!" —Seromeo

"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

"I'm an amateur cook and always wanted to make this dish. I even had to go out and buy a dutch oven. It was 100% worth it. I impressed my dinner guests and everyone thought it was great." -Victoria77

"Make this chili! This is very easy, economical, flavorful and makes the whole house smell soooo wonderful while cooking. Don't skip the lime or cilantro, they really make the recipe unique." -lksmithnj

"WOW. Not only the best French onion soup I've ever had, but one of the most fabulous Cooking Light recipes I've ever used!" -travelchickie

"Delicious. Great texture once cooled. Slightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Easy to make. Added some dark chocolate chunks as well. Definitely a keeper!" -JC

"Really enjoyed this take on shrimp scampi. Very easy. Very tasty! The addition of the spinach and tomatoes made it more of a balanced meal too. Great idea!" -frangiepod

"The best use of greens that I"ve seen. Very good for people that don't even like greens. Will keep this recipe in my recipe box. Excellent!" -kdbegpow

"Really quick and tasty. A perfect weeknight meal. My brussels sprouts were nicely browned in the recommended cooking time. Just keep an eye on them and turn halfway through so they don't burn. Tossed in some smashed garlic cloves with the potatoes, yummy." -kpowers

"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!" -CAcook

"The only problem with this dish is that there won't be leftovers. It is so good that it was gone in two days. Love the balance of crunch and creaminess." -TheMomChef

"Remember that country song "Heaven's Just a Sin Away"? That's what this pie made me think of. So rich, so wonderful, so sinful! And easy to make. This will be my signature pie to make for many family gatherings to come!" -Suzy59

"Wonderful chowder. Even served it to guests from Massachusetts and they thought it was one of the best chowders they ever had." -jckstat

"Best chicken enchiladas I've had, home-made OR restaurant. Ooey-gooey, delicious and best of all simple." -amymac96

"This recipe is a chocolate lovers dream. We thought that we had to go to a 5-star restaurant to get something this good. Now it can make me look like a 5-star chef!" -SusanNolan

"Great authentic flavor! Had never used Chicken Andouille before and don't think I will ever buy the pork variety again! Served it to company and kids and adults alike went back for seconds!! Definitely a keeper!" -Weezie7394

"This dish was fabulous - quick, easy, and delicious. I was impressed that the instructions were clear and my results looked just like the picture. The meatballs were so tasty. What a great mid-week meal!" -K in Alaska

"Very good, light and easy. This would go well with fish, chicken or steak. I added some lemon zest as well." -jdowd0212

"What a kick! These became fun when I quickly blanched the cabbage leaves and used them like a taco shell - like a Vietnamese roll. Used dark meat turkey because it was on hand. Full of flavor!" -bbnycny

"This was the best tamale pie!! It was healthy, with an unexpected combination of wonderful flavors (the lima beans are genius)." -Whitney

"I really liked this cake a lot. It was moist and tasty. Loved the slightly bitter sweet taste of the clemintine rinds." -Judi620

"Easy and tasty. Double it for a crowd; but be careful, the cheese melts quickly and you don't want it to burn." -lynandmas

"This was the best pork loin recipe I've found so far! The breading was light and savory, and the pork was extremely juicy. I served the pork alongside some roasted zucchini--in all, the meal took less than 30 minutes!" -eviesmom
