What is a Personal Recipe?

Share recipes today. No need to wait for your recipe submission to be published to the Allrecipes site—Personal Recipes can be shared right away. They can even be rated and reviewed!
It’s your Recipe Box—add anything! A Personal Recipe can also be a recipe you found in a magazine or on another website (Note: previously published recipes are not eligible for publication on Allrecipes.)

weblink

What is a Weblink?

Creating a Weblink allows you to save other website links to your Recipe Box-and even dress up the page with an image and notes.

Declutter your “Favorites.” Free up some space on your internet “Favorites” by saving food-related links as Weblinks instead.
Jot it down, then save it. You can’t underline stuff on a webpage, but you can make notes in Weblinks to keep track of stuff you don’t want to forget about the link you added.
Share the wealth. Email any Weblink—notes and all—to friends and family to share your great finds!

Weblinks can also be organized in folders right in your Recipe Box, so it’s easy to keep them handy with all your favorite recipes.

reference

What is a Reference?

If some of your favorite recipes and/or cooking articles are from cookbooks or magazines, you can create a Reference to remind you where they are.

A quick alternative. Instead of entering your favorites as Personal Recipes, you can simply create a Reference for each, making note of the publication and page number.
Save them to your Recipe Box. Keep your References handy with all your other favorite recipes—even create folders for them.
Makes finding recipes easier. No more shuffling through that pile of books and magazines, desperately searching—a Reference will tell you exactly where to look.

When it’s not available online, creating a Reference is the best way to keep track of a recipe or cooking article you don’t want to lose.

Original Recipe Yield 16 servings

Ingredients

1 cup shelled macadamia nuts
1 cup shelled pistachio nuts
1 cup shelled walnuts
1 cup slivered almonds
1 pound pork sausage
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 cups chopped yellow onion
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced celery
1 1/2 cups peeled, diced carrots
2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
2 (16 ounce) packages dry bread stuffing mix
2 1/2 tablespoons dried sage
salt and pepper to taste
5 cups chicken stock

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a large baking dish.
Spread macadamia nuts, pistachios, walnuts, and almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet, and bake 5 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until lightly toasted.
Place sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook until evenly brown. Set aside, and drain skillet. Melt butter in the skillet, and cook the onion, celery, carrots, and garlic until tender.
In a large bowl, toss together the dry bread stuffing mix, roasted nuts, sausage, onion, celery, carrots, and garlic. Season with sage, salt, and pepper. Mix in 3 cups chicken stock. Gradually add remaining chicken stock as needed to make the mixture evenly moist. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. (Or use to stuff the turkey just before roasting.)
Bake stuffing 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and golden brown.
