Just wanted to share a tip that I have learned after making Pierogis for the last 10 years. Cook the potatoes until soft . Don't use a mixer to mix up the potatoes ... use a RICER and pass all the potatoes through it, then add the cheese and whatever seasoning (I use garlic powder). Mix with your hands until the mixture changes color. Also, don't fool around with the wet spoon to seal the edges. User your fingers. Isn't that part of the fun of cooking??? Let the dough rest covered at room temp before making circles. Keep the size of the dough you are working with to about the size of a grapefruit.

Pretty tasty. A great hot dip for parties. Definitely add garlic !

Made this for my daughter's bday. This recipe brought back fond memories. My mother used to make a bunch of sauces with our fondue as a kid. (Don't think curry was popular in the early 70s tho'. Boy were we really missing something good back then !) Anyway I also made a white horseradish sauce: sour cream, horseradish and some grated onion. All great. Thanks !

Made for Cinco de Mayo -- and got rave reviews from the entire crowd. I used a london broil instead of skirt steak. Kept the rest of the recipe the same.

Made this on Valentines Day. Huge hit with all. I just used regular brandy -- and it tasted great. Served with the usual fruits, but included dried pineapple. Will make again.

Tastes great ..but makes a TON of dip. I had about 10 people over .. and we couldn't begin to eat it all.

I was hoping that these would be a little better. I make turkey meatballs all the time ... and I thought I would try these as something different. I just used whole eggs .. not the egg whites. Also, I wanted these for in a crock pot, so I made a swedish meatball sauce to go with the meatballs. Crowd seemed to like them. Probably won't make them again.

The quality of these really depends upon the quality of the pickles. I like to use barrel pickles. I used turkey ham. Very good. Friend told me I had to make them everyytime for football games !

Really liked this. Made a few batches and froze it in a large plastic bucket (like the ones that you buy those make and freeze margharitas in). Great for the summer time.

I followed this recipe to a t. Whole family enjoyed. My 8 year old is a huge soup fan. This soup is better the next day than it is on the day you make. The pasta does soak up the liquid. When I reheated - usually cup by cup -- I added a little bit of water to make it more soupy.

Made this with some kind of mushy blueberries .. and it turned out great. Didn't freeze the banana. Used regular plain yogurt but added some vanilla. Also didn't have any flax seed. Even 8 year old liked it. I'm going to freeze what is left and eat it as a substitute for ice cream.

I wouldn't bother with this one. Might as well make plain mashed potatoes. We found this recipe dry and lacking taste. Kind of a shame since I was hoping to use this as a make a day ahead mashed potatoes.

I have tried numerous baked french toast recipes .. and never really cared for them. Not the case with this one. This one is a keeper. The "creme brulee" at the bottom is what makes the difference. I added triple sec since I didn't have any Grand Marnier. I imagine you could use any flavored liquor. I also kept the crust on the bread. Once I finished putting the pan together, I topped the bread with a little maple syrup. Really good recipe, and scales down well !

I make this every year at Xmas -- a tradition in this Northern home ! I usually use the Microwave directions for the grits .. and use a large 8 cup pyrex dish. You can mix it all together in the pyrex dish before transferring to baking dish. I always use bagged shredded sharp cheddar instead of processed. And I use garlic salt not seasoned salt. Delicious !

WOW. Really --- WOW. I made this for a Ladies Only Xmas party. When we go out for dinner, we always get Dirty Martinis, so I thought this would be appropriate. It was. It was a huge hit. The only minor change that I made was to add some garlic powder. (Sorry I am a garlic head .. can't resist.) If you like olives and vodka --- you will love this. I'm planning on taking it to the next party I go to. Serving in the Martinin glass looks really cute. Thanks for the recipe !

Excellent cake. I gotta say that I usually burn everything I try to bake .. but not this cake ! Maybe it was the low temperature -- I don't know. I did only cook mine for about 2 hours. Also added an amaretto glaze after it had cooled. (Just mixed powdered sugar and amaretto until the right consistency).

Followed the recipe to a T. Very good. Very easy. The raspberry jam and the green onions are the magic combination as near as I can tell. Will use again.

I only made the viniagrette since my friend brought the salad. Very tasty. I made no alterations. I thought it might be sweet -- but it wasn't. Nice and tart. A keeper.

I misread the recipe and thought that the first ingredient was cream cheese. I think the addition of cream cheese made this less greasy. I added one pkg of cream cheese, maybe a 1/2 cup mayonaise, and a hand full of shredded cheddar. Used 2 cups onion. Dip turned out WONDERFUL. We have a family full of onion lovers .. and they gulped the dip down. A success given my accidental modifcations.

Family loved it. I used turkey ham instead of regular ham. Added a few cloves of garlic. Even 8 year old hogged it down. This is a nice recipe to use to get you out of the daily rut !
