First of all this is a very good recipe but I made a couple of mistakes when I made it. Make sure to use apples that are considered baking apples. I used HoneyCrisps because they are our favorites and they were what I had. I also used one other apple that I was given and have no idea what kind it was. It had a mushier texture though. That apple was the only one that really sofened up while baking. The Honey Crisps remained a little crisp even after an hour in the oven. I used brown sugar in place of white, that was good. And craisins in place of raisins, also good. Unless you really love cloves, leave that out. I only used 1/4 tsp and it was still too much. Next time I'll stick with cinnamon and nutmeg only. I didn't have whole milk so I used 1/2 cup of half&half, that also worked ok. I ground the nuts a little too fine I think and I used pecans because it was also what I had. All in all this is an excellent recipe and I will be making it again. I'll just make sure I use the right kind of apples from now on, leave out the cloves and use pecan halves in place of grinding them. (I used the coarse grind but it was still too fine for my taste.) I did like this recipe though. It's like apple pie with out the crust.

I made this salad this morning for tonights dinner. The only thing was, I didn't have any green onions and my neighborhhod store was out also, darn. I did reduce the amount of oil to 1/4 cup as others recommended and even without the green onions this salad is very good after only a couple of hours of marinating. I then added 2 cloves of minced garlic, about 1/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese and a talespoon of minced fresh basil, as some other reviewers said they had. OMG! I'll definitely be making this often. Thank you Keren! Can hardly wait for dinner.

I made this a couple of times since finding it. Once for at home and again today for a pot luck dinner at church. We loved it the first time we tried it. I halved the recipe for us because it does make a lot. I cubed and cooked the potatoes in boiling water for ten to fifteen minutes instead of cooking them whole and then cubing them. Either peeled or not both ways work great. I also sauteed the onion in the same pan I cooked the bacon in after draining almost all of the bacon grease out. Thanks for a great recipe.This dish will take the place of the ones using frozen hash browns and canned soup from now on for us.

This is such a simple and tasty recipe. You can make it so many different ways such as using decaf instant coffee, sweetener in place of sugar,add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup for iced mocha or whatever you'd like. I haven't tried adding caramel to it yet but I will. Great recipe!

Ok, so I had to change this a some, but I saw it on my email 'daily recipe' and it sounded too good not to make even though I was missing some ingredients. I used most everything called for, celery, onion, tomatoes, bacon, pasta, except I used rotini pasta and sauted all the vegetables in a little of the bacon drippings, just until they were still slightly crunchy. Didn't have any olives, seasoning mix or the Italian dressing so I had to use a little dried basil and oregano( I threw the basil and oregano in with the vegetables while they were cooking along with a minced clove of garlic). Mixed that in the pasta, added Kens Lite Caesar dressing and used some shredded parmesan and not the dried stuff in the bottle. I ate it warm 'cuz' it smelled wonderful and I couldn't wait to try it. Probably would have been even better if I'd had all the right stuff. I'll be making this for the next pot-luck for sure, (according to the recipe though next time). It tasted great even with the substitutions I had to make. Thanks Karinichols.

These are just plain THE BEST. I could make a whole meal out of just these mushrooms. But I did serve them over Honey Lime Pork chops from this site. They made the meal.

I thought this was ok but my son didn't care for it at all. The cake was more like a shortcake than cobbler. Also for my taste, it was way too sweet. Maybe my peaches were sweeter but I would cut back on the sugar if I tried it again. I tried it with vanilla ice cream, whipped topping and also with a little half and half poured over. The half and half worked the best as the ice cream and whipped topping just added to the sweetness.

Like another reviewer I thought this salad was a little dry but very good tasting. I made it for a pot luck at church. I did have to add more salt later and when I got home from the pot luck I threw about a half cup of salsa in the remaining salad. It made a noticeable improvement to the dryness of the salad without taking away from the healthiness. I had also used a high fiber pasta and maybe it soaked up more of the moisture? Anyway I had some yesterday for lunch and this time I threw in a handful of shredded cheddar to the mix. YUMMY! Overall a great recipe. Next time I make it, I'll use lime flavored olive oil in the dressing in place of canola oil.

These were excellent, juicy and flavorful. I marinated them overnight, (I used the boneless, thick pork chops from Costco.) Grilled them on my Kitchenaid Griddler for about 12 minutes, (my gas grill was out of gas). My son said I should use this recipe from now on with these chops. Thanks for a great recipe.

My whole family liked these burgers and that's what counts when it comes to cooking for my bunch of picky eaters. I did use all ground beef in place of half pork sausage because it's what I had. They were very tasty and juicy anyway though. Thanks for a great recipe. (Also my grill ran out of gas when they were only half done, so I had to finish them in the broiler. Still great though. No problems with them sticking to either the grill or broiler pan.)

This was a very good recipe. I used a cup of 'craisins' in place of raisins, only because we like them better, but they they were wonderful. Thanks.

I made this 20 years ago using hotdogs in place of sausage. An Italian friend taught me the recipe back then. I was looking for something simple to make for dinner tonight and came across this recipe. I had forgotten all about this dish. I'd never heard it called by this name though. Whatever it's called it's simple and satisfying. Thanks for the reminder.

Very, very good. Meat was tender enough to cut with a fork, and sauce had wonderful taste.

This is a similar recipe to the one my family has been making for years. Our recipe calls for three cups of flour and 1 cup of sugar and an added tsp of almond extract. Other wise the rest of the ingredients are exactly the same. What we've always done is this, we bake it in a jelly roll pan, which is about 10.5 by 15.5 inches, a little larger than a 9x13 pan. Also we don't even try to cover the top of the cherrie pie filling completely, but spread the remaining batter around in a sort of blotchy, swirly pattern so that some cherries are covered and some aren't. The batter spreads even more as the bars bake. Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Then we sprinkle on powdered sugar after the cake has cooled. Makes a very pretty and tasty cake dessert.

This pudding was very good. I doubled the recipe and used half and half in place of milk only because the half and half was at it's expiration date and I wanted to use it up. I also cooked it on the stove instead of in the microwave. Next time I'll try the microwave and use milk. This is a wonderful recipe. Rich, thick, and creamy chocolate pudding. Up-date 3/10/09. I made this again last night in the microwave and used 3 cups of 2% milk and one cup of half&half. It was just as good as the first time and so much easier in the microwave. Ten minutes was just the right cooking time. Thanks for a fantastic recipe.

This is the chocolate cake I've made for at least 20 years and it was at one time called "Hersheys Deep Dark Chocolate Cake". As others have said it's on the back of the Hersheys cocoa can, and is now called, "Perfectly Chocolate, Chocolate Cake". Whatever you call it, its easy, always moist if you don't overbake. I bake mine in a 9x13 pan for 35 minutes @ 350 degrees. I frost it with 'French Silk Frosting' also on this website. Ours usually doesn't last for three days so I can't say if it tastes better then or not. My family who are not that fond of cake, gobble this one right up. I made one last night for my two sons and my birthdays.

This was very good. I changed it some to suit our tastes. I cooked up a pound of bacon and crumbled that in, in place of the ham and sauted an onion and a bell pepper diced. Threw that in and doubled the other ingredients. Baked it in a 9 by 13 baking dish and an 8 by 8 baking dish. (Had to make some without the peppers and onion for one picky family member.) The left overs were great heated up in the microwave the next day for breakfast. Tried another recipe using cubed bread instead of hash browns also from this site but the whole family prefers this recipe instead.

For this recipe I used a five pound Sirloin tip roast that I browned on the stove top first, one can cream of mushroom and one can cream of celery, (that's all I had) 1 cup of red wine and about 1 tsp of Paula Deen's house seasoning, (because I didn't have any onion soup mix.) Cooked in the slow cooker for about 1 hour on high and 7 hours on low. Fantastic! I had lots of gravy which I did have to thicken some so I probably could have made do with 1/2 cup of wine. Today I'm making vegetable soup and adding 1 cup of the gravy to the soup for extra flavor. The gravy really makes a difference in the taste of the soup.

These cookies are fantastic. Nice and chewy. I used 2 cups of dried cranberries instead of adding raisins and somed chopped pecans, but other than that followed the recipe. This is the best recipe for oatmeal cookies I've tried to date.
