"Using parsnips was new to me, but I really liked the flavor it gave to the soup! Very comforting and delicious!"
-Lainey6605
"I absolutely loved this! The filling was amazing — sweet, fruity figs were a great contrast for feta, and the pine nuts added a perfect crunch."
-KrisLady
"I have made this twice now; my chard grew like crazy, and I needed to find something to make. Even my hubby, who really doesn't like veggies, liked this one — he even requested it."

Here's an easy way to make the most of your shallots. The cream and sherry bring out the sweetness, while the gnocchi soak up the flavorful sauce.
"This was very good! I was a bit unsure of the grapes, as many of you probably are, but really they were delicious. Each one was a little gem of sweetness and juice."
-CulinaryExplorer
"Awesome recipe. I keep a stock in my freezer for days I don't want to cook. I enjoy it with a little extra pumpkin!"
-JOinspain
"The flavors of chicken, cranberry, blue cheese and pecans mingle well, and the dressing ties them all together. What a treat!"

Talk about an easy weeknight meal! This sheet pan dinner is unbelievably simple — a real crowd-pleaser.
Bring the homey flavor of cabbage to life with these rice-and-beef-stuffed leaves.
"Very good, very easy recipe. I enjoy making a meatless meal once a week, and this tasted just as good or better."
-SarasotaCook
"I knew this would make a great flavor combination, but I didn't know how good until I tasted it!"
-Chef*Lee
"I used pomegranate molasses instead of honey and upped the sugar slightly. A refreshing salad to cheer up a cold day!"
-andreafortunoff
"Great vegetarian meal! I love the sweet potato and black bean combo — it's balanced and hearty without being too heavy."
-rsarahl
"I liked the sweetness of this squash; never having eaten it before, this was a great way to prepare it."
-AZPARZYCH
"This recipe is absolutely amazing! It's easy, and the sauce is actually healthy. Adding molasses to it was genius. Be sure to try this!"
-Miss Erin C.
"I like this recipe a lot. I used fat-free Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. Best part? It's easy to make."
-505sharonk
"I have made this recipe before for my spouse and I, and we just absolutely loved it. I did have to make homemade ravioli due to not being able to find them in stores. The filling was a little hard to work with, but it paid off in the end. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.”
-MizEmerilLagasse
"This is a very good quick dinner for us now! The second time I made it I doubled the garlic, added half an onion more (and caramelized them) and added a big pinch of nutmeg (it complements the squash). I also toss in leftover roast chicken if I have some. Very good, very easy."
-DeeCooks
"So good! I broiled some pressed and cubed tofu and used veggie broth to make this soup vegan. My spouse loved it! I did too!"
-sillyjodes
"Just got my Instant Pot and tried this recipe and the whole family loved it!! I added some pork shoulder meat to make it more tasty. Thank you."
-rayzerli
"We loved this soup. Everyone ate it so fast that I immediately made a second batch. One thing I changed was to use an eight-ounce brick of low-fat cream cheese instead of the milk and flour."
-Mega8718
"My spouse loved this and so did I! All in all it was a wonderful roast with lots of leftovers, enough gravy for tomorrow and more to freeze for future use.”
-Derf2440
“Fantastic! I must admit that I cheated a little and just threw everything in a slow cooker and turned in on low for eight hours (did not cook meat first). I also added two tablespoons of cornstarch the last hour to thicken it."
-Sue.F
"A hearty and heart-warming stew — home style cooking at its best! I used half potatoes and half rutabaga. The gravy was bread-dippingly delicious and the lamb and vegetables were fork tender.”
-Lorac
“This is such a great vegetarian dish, you won't miss having meat at all! the sweet potatoes and chickpeas are so filling and the tomato sauce is so good.”
-Ivansocal
"I served this last week for our dinner after heading out to the mountains to get our Christmas tree! I made it a few days prior to allow the flavors to develop. It was the best lamb curry ever!”
-fabchefs
"This recipe is so delicious! It is amazing and I never would have put the ingredients together but wow! What a great quiche! I made the recipe as directed and it was perfect."
-Jennys Happy Food
"I absolutely loved this omelet! I made it as written and found it easy to make with a terrific taste. Will definitely make this again.”
-CJAY8248
"My kids aren't done eating this and I must rate it. I have the most picky five- and nine-year-old children in existence. My five-year-old had a second helping and my nine-year-old is finishing his. They both like it. It was super easy.”
-truckerboo
"Love this recipe. Simple and delicious. In reference to other comments, this soup will be thick or thin depending on the size of potatoes you are using. If you prefer your soup on the thicker side like chowder, use large potatoes or add a few more than what's called for. If the soup is too thick, add more stock.”
-jackalope-eye
"Excellent! It is so good, we are having a hard time waiting to get into it before the football game today!”
-bridget.hinegardner
"I made this last night for my partner and two of his male friends. It was completely gone. They loved it!”
-Beanie06
"Now this was good. Very Fast. I added a tablespoon of soy sauce and used mixed veggies. I just did not want to cook and this recipe helped. We both got to eat. I do believe children will love this one."
-Braunda
“The first time I made this it was great, the second time I used a mixture of different types of mushrooms and it was still great.”
-Gidget
"Superb recipe! I had to amend the amounts though, as I felt that the amount of rice was not enough to feed a family of four. No vermouth either, but white wine does the trick as well! Taste-wise, the mixture of chestnuts and cabbage against the white backdrop of rice makes it look good and taste fabulous. Certainly a top-drawer recipe!"
-Spiritualized
"Just made this for the first time. Best pork chops I have ever had and husband loved them too! Served them with cheddar au gratin potatoes and the meal was a hit!"
-sharonkasten
"I just made and ate this delicious salad. I did not chill it in the fridge, as all the ingredients were already chilled, plus I subbed chopped, cooked turkey for the chicken. This salad is a great way to use up the leftover cooked turkey after Thanksgiving.”
-Cindi M Bauer
"Lovely flavor and attractive. Healthy recipe with a favorite assortment of vegetables. Next time I will cut the veggies in larger pieces as they were a bit overcooked but still very tasty.”
-Bergy
“A great recipe for a cold day! It was very tasty and a change from spicy soups — the sausage made it a one pot meal. I served it with French bread. A keeper!”
-French Tart
“Four stars! Hearty slow-cooker meal. Used boneless skinless chicken thighs and unfiltered apple juice. Also used the seasoning packet in the rice. The apple flavor was subtle and wished it were a little more prominent but enjoyed this for dinner.”
