All I can say is wow!! This is by far the best lasagna I have ever had and I don't even care for lasagna that much! I only made it because my husband was craving lasagna so i tried this one...boy am I glad I did! Changed a couple things, used all ground beef ( 2 lbs total) because the hubby doesn't like ital sausage, n instead of the water in the sauce I used the same amt of red wine ( pinot noir ) and this sauce smelled absolutely heavenly when it was simmering! Do NOT skip the fennel, it MAKES the sauce! Especially if you use all ground beef like i did ( ital sausage already has fennel in it )..thank you for making a lasagna lover out of me, simply superb!

this is by far the best rotisserie chicken i have ever had, I have made this twice already!! The first time I stuck to the exact spice measurements and it was fantastic but just a little bit spicy for our tastes so this time I cut the white pepper and cayenne pepper to 1/4 tsp each and it came out perfect!! I only had 1 6-pound roaster and had to put it in the oven on my lunch break so I couldn't take it out at the 5 hours suggested so I knocked the temp down to 225 degrees and took it out when I got home from work after about 6 hours...boy does the slow-roasting make a difference! The meat was so tender and juicy, and what flavor...YUMMM!! my boyfriend is VERY picky and never gets too excited about meals but he actually called me at work to tell me how good it was the next day as leftover sandwiches! thanks for the fab recipe!

My boyfriend decided he just had to have home-made apple pie this past weekend so I figured I'd try this one judging by how many excellent reviews this recipe got...and i was not disappointed! This is by far the best apple pie i have ever made! I followed others suggestions and added cinnamon and nutmeg, and also mixed the apples right in with the syrup instead of pouring on top, as i did not make a lattice top crust, and was afraid of the big mess i would most likely make. It turned out perfect! I sent some home to my dad last night and he actually called me this morning to tell me how fabulous it was, and he is not one to complement people on food... thats how I know this recipe is a keeper...thanks Grandma Ople!!
