Baked Apples Stuffed With Raisins

Date: 2008/10/07
"We made this recipe this weekend and everybody loved it. I served it with a scoop of ice cream and also added some brown sugar to recipe. Once I got the hang of coring the apples, it was extremely easy to get everything together for this and will be one that we'll have again often in the future!"

Rick's Firehouse Chorizo Chili

Date: 2008/09/08
"This recipe has become my go-to recipe for chili. Everyone who has tried it has loved it and I've been asked more than once for this recipe. Try it and you'll definitely have fans! I would also recommend not draining too much of the grease prior to putting in the onions, garlic, and peppers as the oil in the chorizo imparts a great flavor. This oil can even be put in with the rest of the ingrediants to impart more flavor and then later skimmed if desired. If you are a chili fan, this is a must-try!"

Chopped Barbecue Chicken Salad

"We just love this recipe as a fun & fresh take on a chicken salad. The BBQ sauce adds a nice tang and it helps make this salad a full meal!"

Balsamic Grilled Pork Chops

Date: 2008/06/16
"Wow did this jazz up our pork chops. The marinade was easy and was all basically things we had around the kitchen. We marinaded for a couple hours in the morning and took these to a BBQ for lunch. We got rave reviews from our lunch guests - and ourselves! Considering the ease of putting this together we are going to use this again - can't wait to try the marinade on chicken!"

Callaloo Soup

Date: 2008/06/16
"We tried this soup and absolutely loved it! It's such a great refreshing summer soup and the coconut milk adds a touch of sweetness that counteracts any spice. We have tried it with crab instead of the shrimp and have tried it without seafood as well. Both are also very good. Additionally we found that if you wanted more spice to start with, cooking in a diced jalepeno pepper from the start does well to add an extra kick!"

Sweet Potato Oven Baked Fries

Date: 2008/04/20
"My wife and I absolutely love this recipe! It is such a great variation on normal baked potatoes that everybody just raves about. We often do batches with different spices (Italian, Indian, etc) for some extra variation."

Nana's Shredded Beef

Date: 2008/01/28
"This was an incredibly tasty and easy crockpot recipe. I've prepared it now multiple times and it's always a hit. I would suggest using a spicy jar of small pickles (Spicy Black Peppercorn Baby Dills worked out well). To give it some extra zing, I also like to put about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of horseraddish in while cooking."

Cranberry Horseradish Sauce

Date: 2007/12/18
"We have a family that loves horseradish and cranberries, so this recipe was a HUGE hit during our holiday meals! I added some extra horseradish and used a pulpy orange juice to give it more flavor and texture."

Panzanella Salad

Date: 2007/12/18
"We brought this recipe to a dinner party and it was a hit. Some individuals at the party were gluten free, so we used a thicker gluten free bread. The thickness of the bread really worked well to absorb the great flavors of the dish itself!"

Sour Cream Potatoes

Date: 2007/11/23
"We made these potatoes for a pre-Thanksgiving gathering this past weekend and they were wonderful! If you're looking for some rich and creamy potatoes, you can't go wrong with this choice!"

Penne Pasta Salad

Date: 2007/11/06
"We made this last night for a work luncheon. It was a smash hit!! Everyone loved the creamy combo of dressing and feta! I will most certainly make this one again"
