Italian Sausage Soup
AMAZING!!! One reviewer remarked that this recipe has alot of "wiggle room"...perfectly put. My amendments were: ground pork in place of sausage, used up the left over spaghetti sauce, added mushrooms, pinto beans, sweet red peppers, diced onions, and whole wheat pasta. We added a sprinkle of parmesan for garnish. We are huge soup fans and will be eating this ALOT. Over 20,000 people have saved this recipe to their recipe box...ALL of them will be glad they did!!!

Baking Powder Drop Biscuits
These are AWESOME!!! Quick, easy, moist. I made them according to recipe, but think butter flavored shortening would be nice, too. The flavor is delicate and pairs well with just about anything---pasta, chicken, soup. We had ours as an accompaniament to spaghetti and sauce and salad. I made them very large and popped them into the oven right before I poured the pasta into the boiling water. Just as I finished draining the pasta they were ready to come out of the oven. They are yumm-o with honey, a dollop of butter, jam. Wouldn't these be a nice treat for your family at breakfast, paired with eggs, bacon and hot tea?!??!

Fried Onion Rings
I have tried many onion ring recipes on this site and this is by far the best and the easiest! I subbed seltzer for beer. Also added onion and garlic powders as well as paprika to the batter. I cut the slices fairly thick and dredged them in plain flour first to help the batter stick to the onions...worked like a charm. I fried them in safflower oil in my cast iron fry pan. I kept them hot in a slow oven while I made enough for everyone. We had these with cola burgers and slaw. Fabulous with a squeeze of ketchup! Needless to say it was a tremendous hit! Will be sticking to this recipe! Thank you sooooo much!
