This is a good chowder. I didn't love it, I could take or leave mushrooms though. But the mushroom lovers did love it! I made it to go with the italian bread bowl recipe from this site. And although I wouldn't recommend it with the bread bowls, it is really good all by itself.

oh... these are wonderful, beautiful, delicious bread bowls. I added sugar, italian seasoning and garlic salt to the dough. The bowls baked up so beautiful, I didn't want to serve them for dinner, I wanted to put them on display. Yes, a bit nerdy I know but, I wasn't expecting them to turn out so perfect. I do have to tell you though, I made the mushroom & potato chowder from this site (very good) to go with the bowls. But for some reason they didn't compliment each other very well. And though there were mixed reviews, some seemed to love it. I would not recommend it together. I would love to try the Zuppa Toscana or the Taco Soup with the bowls though. I can't wait to make them again!

I thought this recipe was really good, but my husband and kids loved it! I didn't cook the chicken in a skillet, instead I seasoned it with salt, garlic pepper and a little paparika and then grilled it in the forman grill. Because I didn't use a skillet, I just poured the whole cup of chicken broth in the saucepan instead of 3/4 cup after I melted the butter. I also doubled this recipe b/c I have a big family. I made one pan of sauce as directed. The other pan of sauce I added chopped mushrooms for the mushroom lovers. The sauce was definitely delicious, but I guess I was expecting something a little more by all the wonderful reviews. My family though just kept singing praises as they ate. And, of course I will be making this again. My family wouldn't have it any other way. Also, this dish was incredibly fast and easy to make which is a hugh plus in my book!

Amazing!!! I made this for a b-day dinner as an appetizer and everyone ate it before and with dinner. It was the favorite part of the dinner believe it or not. I left out the bell pepper, put it in an 8 X 8 and it was perfect. I didn't change anything else, why mess with perfection?? I'm not sure how anyone could think it was lacking flavor, it was amazing and I'll be making it from now on!

Great recipe! I added chopped onion and a packet of taco seasoning to the meat as I browned it. I also added salsa to the bottom of the pan before I added the shells. And I used enchilida sauce instead of taco sauce to cover the shells. I doubled the recipe and with one pan I added the crused chips, the other one I didnt. My husband said he liked the chips on top, one of my sons preferred it without. Everybody else loved them both ways. So good, its one of those fun easy recipes that deserves being made two nights in a row, lol! Grannycancook is one awesome lady!!! :)

Really good recipe, light subtle flavors, perfect for a summer side dish. I had to use white wine vinegar b/c thats all I had but it was still good. Will make this dish again.

My husband sauteed the asparagus in olive oil with two cloves of garlic and that was fantastic. I didn't have any feta so my family used shredded cheddar and that worked fine although I can't wait to try it with feta. And, I hate cilantro so I didn't like the flavor it gave the dish. So, next time and oh yeah... there will be a next time, I'll leave out the cilantro.

The BEST Zuppa Toscana!!! My whole family absolutely enjoyed this! I made it exactly as written, I can't imagine changing a thing. Some reviews suggested using kale instead of spinach but, OMG... it was perfect. It was a little spicy although all ages loved this soup from 3yrs old to 19. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot.. I made the parmesan knots from this site to go with it and it was a perfect combination.

This was a really good salad. I didn't use fresh garlic and thought the dry minched garlic would work about the same. I wouldn't recommend that, although everybody else thought it tasted good. I couldn't stand the dry crunchiness of the garlic. The rest of the salad was great! I used the George Foreman grill to cook the chicken and seasoned it the way we like. And, the lime juice was great but we also liked adding the pineapple juice from the can of pineapple we used(obvisously we didn't use fresh pineapple and I would recommend the canned pineapple). It gave it a really nice flavor.

You won't be dissapointed if you try this recipe!!! I used the Foreman grill and it took no time to put this recipe together and serve. Love the dressing, it makes the salad pop!

These were incredibly easy to make and bake up beautifully. I used a baking sheet lined w/parchment paper and a medium size mellon baller to make the balls. The process was quick and I got 38 same size balls. I didn't experience any greasiness that some reviewers have either. I baked for about 16 minutes since they were a little bigger than walnut size. With that said, I never had sausage balls before, so I'm not sure if they just were not my thing or maybe I just wasn't hungry enough b/c I thought these were just okay. The reason for the 5 stars is b/c my son and his friend almost wiped them out. They said they were great!! I still have a couple left from last night and I think I'll do another taste test to see if I've changed my mind. The ease and simplicity of making these is begging me to fall in love w/them. Hopefully I'll have changed my mind, lol!

I just bought some frozen blueberries on sale when I came across this recipe on the AR homepage. I gave it a try and messed up a couple of times. I sprayed my pan with pam instead of flouring and then I accidentally added all of the cinnamon/brown sugar mixture to the middle instead of half. So, I guess with these mistakes it caused my cake to be gooey on top. I wasn't to happy w/myself when I saw the finished product but, after it cooled a little, we had a piece and it tasted wonderful to me. I definitely want to make again but I'll do it the right way next time. Hopefully w/the corrections it will be presentation perfect as it would make a great gift or great for entertaining. The taste can't be beat!

I can't believe I haven't rated this recipe yet! I've made this for the family a couple times and it is wonderful! Even my picky eaters eat it up! I don't mess with the recipe at all, it is perfect exactly as written. Top it with fresh mozzarella cheese on a cool fall evening and it is out of this world! Oh yeah, I usually serve it with the parmesan knots from this site, they go great together!

My daughter and I made these this weekend and they were sooo good! I have a bread machine but have never used it, thought about getting it out for this recipe but at the last minute decided not to. We doubled the recipe so my daughter could make hers and I could make mine. We had to knead the dough about 10 minutes. I drizzled my frosting on and she doubled the frosting and spread it on hers. But, both ways were totally wonderful and everybody loved them. The only way you could go wrong is not making enough, lol.

What a great pie crust! My 15 year old made this for an apple pie (Apply pie by Grandma Ople), she made it exactly as written and we loved it! We will use this recipe from now on.

I never made or I guess really ate corned beef before. I didn't realize that I'm really not a fan of it. This recipe is a great recipe and my family really liked it. The only way I liked it was when I added coleslaw to the sandwich (made restaurant style coleslaw from this site, it was perfect). Otherwise I had to pass. Because it was pretty easy and everyone else thought it was great, I am giving it 5 stars. I wish I could have enjoyed it as much as everyone else though but thats my own fault, darn my taste buds. :(

I wish I could have met Grandma Ople! My first attempt at making apple pie, and oh my gosh... DELICIOUS! My daughter and I made this pie together. I know we made a couple of small errors but even through that, this pie was sooo good! We made exactly as posted and I wouldn't change a thing. The flavor was perfect! I know we will be making this pie again and very soon too!

This is the perfect coleslaw recipe! I've never been a fan of coleslaw, not even from restaurants. We made corned beef brisket for sandwiches this weekend and had friends and family over. It was also my first time making corned beef and the only way I liked it was with this coleslaw! The only thing I did wrong was not double or triple this wonderful recipe. Everybody loved it and wanted more. I also considered shredding my own cabbage and carrots b/c I hate bagged salad, it seems to have a strange taste. But, I was running short on time and just grabbed the coleslaw mix and you couldn't even tell. I am making this again tonight and can't wait for the next get together. Fast, convenient and taste fantastic!

To my surprise, my family really enjoyed this banana bread! I used brown sugar instead of splenda. I used less wheat flour and added oatmeal, I also used yogurt instead of sour cream. I made two batches and 1 batch I made mini muffins, the 2nd batch I made the regular loaf. The muffins were great to eat on the go and just a quick go to snack. We will be using this recipe again for sure!

Absolutely delicious! Family, company and the kids loved this dish. Took a few suggestions from other reviews. No water just extra tomato sauce, diced tomatoes with chilies instead of a can of each. Added taco seasoning, onions & ranch to meat as I cooked it. So good and so very convenient. Was able to toss it together @ 8am & have a stress free dinner that evening.
