White Chili with Ground Turkey

Reviewed: Dec. 6, 2009

I've been making the recipe from this site for years now, and I get rave reviews every single time I make it! I had the whole family in for Thanksgiving & made it with shredded leftover turkey instead of ground turkey as usual - it was still great! When I made it for a neighborhood progressive dinner - EVERYONE asked for the recipe! The cinnamon seems like a strange ingredient, but don't leave it out - and use the amount specified - no one will ever guess it's in there, but it doesn't taste as good without it. This is one of the best recipes I've ever gotten from Allrecipes - and it's healthy too. It's all good!!!

Grandma's Lemon Meringue Pie

Reviewed: Apr. 21, 2005

For 30 years my husband has asked me to bake him a Lemon Meringue Pie like his grandmother used to make for him. I finally made him one with this recipe - he actually said the taste was "orgasmic"! He raved about it & said it was exactly like he remembered. The only change I made was to add about a teaspoon of lemon extract to give it an extra pop of flavor. Excellent recipe!

Six Can Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2003

This has become one of our favorite soup recipes! Tastes great & easy to make when you're tired & "don't feel like cooking". I substitute a can of cream of celery soup for one of the chicken broths. The best thing about this soup is that it uses up all those crushed tortilla chips that are always at the bottom of the bag.

Roasted Vegetables

Reviewed: Jan. 14, 2003

Easy & so good! I didn't have any winter squash, but I added baby carrots & sliced zucchini. One thing I did different, I put the root vegetables (onion, potatoes & carrots) in one bowl & the more delicate vegetables (peppers & zucchini) in another bowl, they I divided the oil/vinegar/herb mixture between the two bowls. I put the root vegetables in the oven first & let them roast for 30 minutes before adding the other vegetables at the last 10 or 15 minutes. That way they stayed bright colored & didn't get mushy. I took them to a potluck dinner & there wasn't a single bite leftover. Great, healthy recipe!

Rosemary Roasted Turkey

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2002

This was the best turkey I have ever fixed! The meat was succulently moist, even the breast meat. It smelled great while it was cooking & my mother said it was the prettiest turkey she had ever seen when I took it out of the oven. I will definitely make this again & I won't wait until Thanksgiving to do it!

Brown Family's Favorite Pumpkin Pie

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2002

What can I say? This was pumpkin pie x 10! The pie itself is light & perfectly spiced, and the streusel topping is to DIE FOR! I also added ground walnuts in the pie crust - I topped it with whipped cream that I added some ginger to. I will make this every Thanksgiving!

Cranberry Orange Relish with Orange Flavored Liqueur

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2002

WOW! What a change from the mushy canned cranberry sauce I usually serve at Thanksgiving! Sweet, but vibrantly tart. I doubled the recipe & with the leftovers, I added pecan pieces, chopped apples & celery, & it made a great fruit salad with a dollop of mayonnaise on top. I highly recommend this recipe!

Sweet Dill Pickles

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2002

GREAT! I used a large jar of Claussen Garlic Dills, I also added hot red pepper flakes & whole cloves along with the pickling spice, made them up about a week before Thanksgiving & when I served them everyone raved! They were still very crispy & deliciously spicy sweet.

Grandma's Peanut Butter Fudge

Reviewed: Dec. 5, 2002

This was the first time I ever made fudge & it came out delicious! I didn't have a thermometer so I burned it, but poured the hot mixture through a metal strainer & then poured it in the pan, it was perfect. Not too sugary, peanut butter is the predominant flavor. I did substitute half of the white sugar with brown sugar & used large marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme. I got a candy thermometer now & will definitely make this again! In fact, I think I will make some right now!
