I volunteered to make apple crisp to bring to a friend's cookout. I found this recipe and made it just as it was written and it was a hit with everyone. Next time I think I will leave out the water because I'm not sure what it adds if you have juicy apples. I used a combination of Granny Smith and fuji apples. We served it at room temperature and it was delicious.

WOW!!! I prepared this exactly as written and my family thought it was excellent. I think the key is the chile paste which adds a lot of flavor and spice to the chicken. I found the paste in the Asian section of my local grocery store. This is definitely a recipe I will make again.

My family really liked this tortellini. I did make a few changes; I used 1 lb. of turkey Italian sausage sauteed with 1/2 of a yellow onion and 1/2 of a green pepper, homemade marinara sauce, left out the mushrooms, and subbed parmigiano-reggiano cheese for the cheddar. I used all of the homemade marinara sauce so I had enough sauce to increase the tortellini to a larger pkg. (1 lb. 9 oz. I believe). I served it with Caesar salad and homemade garlic bread. The sauce is extremely salty, not sure why. Next time I will use low-sodium tomatoes and maybe decrease the amount of sausage.
