It would get 5 stars, but I used a different recipe for the meatballs to cut down on the fat. The soup itself is wonderful!

The family loves these but I'm not a huge fan of desserts that feature apples. My only suggestion is to bake these on parchment paper or a silpat.

My whole family really liked this cake - and I liked that it wasn't full of fat and useless carbs! Loved the texture - less greasy and heavy than a brownie, but lighter and more fudgey than a cake. I did make a few additions, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. Being picky, I cooked dried garbanzo beans because they have a nuttier taste than the canned beans. My additions are the following: I did not add salt to the beans while they cooked, so I had to add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bean and egg mixture. For a richer flavor, I added 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the bean mixture and I added 1 teaspoon of espresso powder to the chocolate while it was melting.

My range needed repairing, so I tried this recipe since it's close to the recipe I have always used. Very, very disappointed because this was not crunchy - the coating was, but the popcorn was not. I will stick with the "tried and true" for this.

Made the olive salad and set out of a tray of meats and cheeses for our family's "sandwich night". Loved the olive salad beyond anything reasonable...it was even good alone in a sandwich!

I have made this dough several times and have made rolls, garlic bread sticks and cinnamon crescent rolls from it. All have been a hit! I use rapid rise (bread machine) yeast and my KitchenAid mixer...quick and easy!

I prefer my recipe that is similar to this. I found this too sweet to be a good dinner bread and the use of water instead of milk had this one lacking the flavor I prefer.

Very tasty and a nice change from other rices! I used toasted slivered almonds since I didn't have peanuts and ran my knife through them a few times so they we still large enough to taste. I also diced my onions - couldn't see having long strands of onion in a rice dish. For the kids, I omitted the cayenne.

Excellent recipe!

I used Rapid Rise yeast so I could immediately shape the bread and let it rise only 1 time. I subbed fresh garlic instead of using garlic powder and used the herbs of my choice. Very quick and easy and the family loved it!

I have to edit this since I have found that this is an excellent sauce for homemade pizza if you leave the meat out! Since everyone has different tastes, I increased the amount of Italian herbs and completely cut out the dried basil because I don't like it. I increased the garlic. I cooked the meat (not too brown), drained the fat and then added the meat and onions and garlic back to the pan since I don't want the onion cooking in that much fat. I like fennel, so I did not omit it as others have suggested. I make 3 layers each with 4 noodles for a thicker lasagna - I have to use more cheeses to accomodate the extra layer.

I love to grill and I'm always looking for new recipes. We (myself, my husband and children) loved this recipe and it couldn't be easier!

FANTASTIC!! I substituted one square of unsweetted chocolate for one of the squares of semisweet.

Easy and good! The only changes I made was that I used low fat milk to cut back on the fat and used about 1/2 teaspoon finely minced fresh rosemary instead of the basil

Good! Very similar to what we had in Costa Rica

I rarely use my bundt pan, but this bakes well in a 9 X 13 pan as well as makes one dozen muffins. To cut back on the fat, I do not use the streusel topping. Instead I add 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon to the flour mixture and sprinkle a little sugar over the top before baking. Depending on the pan used, times do have to be varied. Cake is done when it is golden brown.

I have found "my" oatmeal recipe!

Great start of a recipe, but only 4 stars since I change it up to suit our tastes. First, I never, ever stuff the turkey - it is only used as a dressing, so the moisture has to be adjusted. I use part corn bread (not the sweet kind) instead of all bread and then adjust the seasonings for our taste. I add more broth - this is where corn bread works better than all wheat/white bread because it doesn't "break down" like the other breads when it gets moistened. A tart apple is the only way to go, so I use a Granny Smith. Fabulous with any dried fruit you like - I've made it with cranberries, cherries, blueberries and combinations of various fruits. I prefer the flavor of a hot Italian sausage instead of a turkey sausage.

All I can say is WONDERFUL! I had trouble shaping the phyllo as directed, so I simply cut a sheet into quarters the long way, put a bit of filling on one end and folded it end over end in a triangle (like folding a paper football).

All I can say is thanks for an easy candy recipe!! I made my first batch and it turned out perfect. The only modification that I made was that I used raw peanuts. I used an 8 cup glass measuring cup with a handle to make and it was plenty large enough to allow the mixture to bubble without spilling over. The handle also made it easy to pour onto the cookie sheet.
