BBQ Pork Salad with Summer Fruits and Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette
I followed the recipe exactly, even using the grapefruit (other reviewers omitted). It was very tasty, and the flavors - though diverse - went together very well. The dressing was a perfect compliment. Great way to use leftover pork chops. Great easy summer meal. Thank you!

Grandma Sophie's Smashed Potato Salad
Very basic, yet delicious recipe. You can stick to the recipe, but I can't seem to resist adding a little chopped onion and a small squirt of yellow mustard. Either way, this is a winner! Thank you!

Best Bread Machine Bread
Got a new bread machine for Christmas, and after two failed loaves (not this recipe), I decided to try this recipe. I have to admit, I was leary of mixing the yeast, water and sugar in the bottom of the loaf pan - this was contrary to the generic recipe instructions included with my machine. Followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out GREAT! It rose perfectly, crust and crumb were great as well. Thank you so much for this unorthodox but great recipe. I am looking forward to modifying it and using part whole wheat flour and honey instead of the sugar.
