Smoky Beef Stew with Blue Cheese and Chives
"So delicious! Perfect Sunday dinner recipe. I omitted the peas...added more wine than recipe states. The meat was fall apart tender, the veggies held together and didn't get all mushy." —Ericka

Korean Meatballs
"This was in a word AMAZING! The meatballs tasted like gyoza filling. Served with brown rice instead of the Kimchee. Very tasty and by my calculations, roughly a $5 meal! Made my family and pocketbook very happy." —IslandGirl10

Pork Tenderloin with Sauteed Apples
"I made this for company last night and it came out perfect. I appreciated cutting the meat before cooking, because I never feel confident about large pieces of meat cooked on the stove top. I served this with brussel sprouts and a tossed salad."

Colby-Pepper Jack Cheese Dip
"LOVE this baked dip! A tad spicy, so I just use a LITTLE less peppers. Everyone always asks for the recipe. I always make it a day ahead and bake it when I need it the next day. Very good leftover, too!" —Tammy K
