This recipe is excellent! I sauteed half a medium onion with the garlic and omitted the cheese. I also used spicy pinto beans, extra hot sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. (Some like it hot!) The beer flavor is not overpowering either. What an awesome, healthy recipe. My boyfriend loved it. And it's even better the second day after all the flavors blend. Thanks Rae!

This is everything a NY cheesecake should be. Tall, dense, rich, creamy. I baked mine with a pan of hot water on the shelf below the cheesecake - this step helps to enhance the creamy texture. The only change I will try next time is baking at 325 as my edges came out a little brown. This recipe is a keeper though - one that will be treasured!

These are to die for! The flavor is very similar to a decadent candy I've had called Modjeskas (Bauer's Candy in Kentucky - try them!) made with caramel and marshmallow (but no chocolate). These are a delightfully different kind of soft chewy brownie. Next time I'll try them without the chocolate chips - for that uninterrupted caramel-marshmallow flavor. Either way though - I can't recommend these enough! You can whip these up in under an hour too...

When I make a pie, go out for the evening and return to half a pie, well the proof is in the pudding, or the pie in this case. I made this without the walnuts and raisins because I wanted a basic pie. I'll make another soon, as my intended didn't get his fair share. The tasters' reviews ranged from "awesome" to "blazin!" Thanks for making my first apple pie a success, Jackie!

These were a hit and a beautiful addition to my cookie tray! My Dad said these were the best thumbprints he ever had (must be the cream cheese!). What a nice fun dough to work too with even if it was a little sticky (I wet my hands as others suggested when rolling). I halved the recipe and found even when I rolled very small balls I still got many nice sized cookies since they puffed while baking. My only change was to roll the dough balls in finely chopped pecans before pressing in the circle because the first batch just looked too plain. I will definitely be making these babies again! Thanks!

Made 'em, loved 'em, can't stop eating 'em. (used chocolate pudding mix)

This is a delicious recipe. I have had a slightly more complex version that is also layered with pignoli nuts and sun-dried tomatoes, along with the pesto layers. It is then topped with thinly sliced provolone. It produces a red white and green layer effect like the Italian flag! When you turn the torte out of whatever receptacle you've molded it in (I've had it in a small round cake shape) stick herbs such as fresh minced chives, and basil to the sides (it will stick to the cream cheese). This has been served at our company functions several times...it is very elegant if done right. And it is seriously good!

These are so good! I used granny smith apples, and the sweet vs. tart taste was perfect. I thought it was a little strange to add the apples before the dry ingredients but it did all come together with a little stirring. Next time, I think I will try adding the apples at the end though. My family all enjoyed these! I will also try these with applesauce in place of the butter, and cut some of the sugar to make these super healthy...

I just made these this weekend with mini M&M's (1 and 1/4 cups of mini M&M's). They are simple and great...and were scarfed down by kids and adults alike! I think the color of the M&M's made them a little more festive. They come out soft and bursting with awesome peanut buter flavor. Also, these baked up just fine without the baking soda (my recipe didn't call for baking soda). Try them!!! =0)

If you love your green veggies, you're in for a treat. I omitted the bread and served this as a side dish with George Foreman grilled chicken breasts. I was a little worried about serving kale to my fiance for the first time but he said he liked it even better than spinach. I can see why you would want the bread too though - the broth is awesome!

This was sooo good. I made this as a meal for my meat loving fiancé and teenage brother and they really enjoyed it (really!). I even asked fiancé if it could be a favorite meal and he said definitely. I used two cloves garlic and instead of buttering the bread I brushed them with olive oil before toasting. I also cooked the veggies for longer (12 - 15 minutes) before adding the tomatoes because I wanted them soft. We enjoyed it nice and hot. This recipe was so nice to make too because I enjoyed all the chopping and sauteéing involved. It made me feel like a really good cook. Thank you SO much Ila!

I was looking for a way to use some fresh spinach in soup other than the cream variety when I came across this recipe. The combination seemed a little unusual, but I like all the ingredients so I tried it and it was DELICIOUS. My carnivorous hubby loved it and commented on how filling it was. We both love leeks so this was a great new way to try them too. Next time I will add one more can of chicken broth to make it more soupy. I can see why you'd crave this Beth, thanks!

This is so good and budget friendly! This tastes like you let this simmer away all day with minimal effort. The only changes I made were to add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 2 bay leaves while it cooked (discard bay leaves bfore serving) and hot sauce to make it a little more like red beans and rice. We're making this again this week. This would be great dressed up with some fresh shrimp for entertaining too. Thank you Chris!

This tasted delightful and was very easy to make. I made it with a scratch graham cracker crust because I love graham crusts with cheesecake and i had the crackers on hand. The fresh blueberries gave the filling such a nice fresh, fruity taste. Everyone enjoyed at our 4th of July celebration. Thanks for another great cheesecake Eleanor! =)

This is a great quick meal. Note: Aglio e Olio means "garlic and oil" and means pasta with garlic and olive oil only.

This was a very quick easy dinner. I omitted the sugar because I felt the pineapple would impart enough sweetness for our taste (it did). I added a couple of tablespoons of flour to thicken the sauce towards the end of cooking (though I would have used cornstarch instead if I had it). Hubby and I enjoyed this with brown rice. A very flavorful, healthy meal with things you have on hand. Will make often!

This chicken begs to be grilled! I love this recipe. This is one you'll want to add to your rotation of quick, healthy, easy recipes. I wasn't looking for a sweet marinade so I cut the sugar to 2 T. but I think 1 T. would have been just fine too. Anyway my hubby loved this....he paused mid meal and said "I think this is the best chicken I've ever eaten." works for me!

This was a hit at our Labor Day BBQ. I added layers of sliced black olives and used the Sour Cream Dressing recipe on this site in place of the bottled dressing. It looks beautiful and festive in a trifle bowl and is definitely not your ordinary salad. Awesome recipe, Jose! Thx.

These were devoured at our Labor Day BBQ this year...next time I need to try them! Thanks.

This was very good and doubles well. I made this for a crowd using a whole box of pasta, 2 cans chickpeas, 8 oz. feta, only 1/2 c. olive oil, extra lemon juice, 1 can olives, and no onion. I also only used 4 large tomatoes because there were still plenty in the expanded version. Fresh basil is perfect in this dish. Thanks!
