This is our family's new favorite! Super easy and delicious recipe for kids and adults. I made several loaves and it was a hit with everyone who tried this bread. Try adding some semi-sweet chocolate chips to batter—OVER THE TOP! —Cindy

Sugared Chocolate Beignets
I made these for my "dessertaholic" bookclub group and the ladies loved them. It's especially nice to be able to pull them out of the freezer and bake right before serving. Make sure to use a high quality chocolate. —Wendy92127

Fettuccine with Mushrooms and Hazelnuts
This was a great dish! Very easy to make (30 minutes) and a surprisingly filling meal. The cheese was essential; this is the first time I've used Parmigiano-Reggiano (I finally decided to splurge) and it was fantastic! —Emily E

Pork and Gorgonzola-Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Absolutely fantastic! I had prosciutto on hand and used that. The key is to let the meat rest for 5 minutes under foil. I served it with polenta and green beans with browned garlic. Will definitely make again! —I Run to Eat
