"This is a MUST at every holiday in our family. I suggest doubling the recipe...it always goes fast!"

Ingredients: Dijon mustard, ginger powder...

"It seems like I make this with my eyes closed already. The family loves it as well as guests. You can make as much as you want and if you are lucky to have leftovers, it's better the second time around. Enjoy!"

Ingredients: fresh ground pepper, rotini noodles...

"The comment I hear from everyone the first time they eat this is, "This is the best pizza I've ever had!" My daughters have old high school friends who still ask for this. It's very filling, so one pan goes a ways."

Ingredients: lean hamburger, pasta sauce...

"This is a very flavorful soup that is a comfort food for my family. The recipe was given to me by my Portuguese mil over 30 yrs ago. Her mother had passed it on to her. This soup is easily stretched to make more servings. The Chorizo gives the broth a good base for adding another can of beans or more pasta or a little water. Soul warming for a cold..."

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, dark red kidney beans...

"Comfort food at its best! A traditional recipe handed down to me by my Mum and her Mum before her......it was my favourite after school tea time meal & is still a firm family favourite even now! I serve mine with lashings of onion gravy and piles of fluffy & buttery mashed potatoes. I used to make mini versions of this recipe for my daughter..."

Ingredients: pepper, sausages, eggs...

"Sauce the way mamas in ital make it--meatballs that melt in your mouth. If I was on death row this is what I would want! God's honest truth! PLEASE PLEASE use it for Ziti Al Forno (From the Sopranos Family Cookbook)--it's amazing."

Ingredients: fresh Italian parsley, pecorino romano cheese...

"Wisconsin loves them and Brats are great for any type of grilling or get togethers.
And what better then cooked in a beer from MILWAUKEE. Known as the beer Capitol of the world!"

Ingredients: pepper, bratwursts, sauerkraut...

"Found this one on Allrecipes.com and tweaked the ingredients just a bit to fit the picky Italian DH. Ground sausage as opposed to ground beef gives the dish much more flavor. Do ahead tip would be to stuff the shells the night before, place in red sauce, refrigerate, and then make the white sauce just prior to cooking. Watch the amount of chicken bouillon..."

Ingredients: eggs, fresh basil...

"I saw this on a cooking show a long time ago - I think it was Ciao Italia, but I'm not sure. It's very easy to make, and the addition of the cannellini beans makes a big difference in taste and heartiness, in my opinion."

Ingredients: Italian-style tomato sauce, garlic...

"My grandmother (from Fall River Massachusettes) taught me to make this soup just before I went to college. I tweaked it a little, but not much. This is portuguese soul food. It cures all ills, especially the rainy cabin fever I get here in Seattle each winter.
Note: 12.02.07 I stopped eating meat, but still love to make this soup. Vegetarians......"

Ingredients: fresh kale, dry sherry...

"I had never had wurstsalat until I sampled some at Disney's Epcot's Biergarten in the German pavillion. One bite and I was head-over-heels! I came home and scoured the net collecting every recipe available because theme park admission is just too darn expensive to shell out every time a craving hits. This is the culmination of my efforts. If..."

Ingredients: cracked black pepper, bratwursts...

"A yummy pasta dish that is started on the cooktop and finished in the oven. The house will smell divine! The chorizo I use is a dry sausage available here tinged with lots of paprika. It is already cured and can, in fact, be eaten out of hand, much like salami."

Ingredients: angel hair pasta, cream...

"I do not know where this recipe came from. A friend gave it to me. This is THE BEST SAUCE I've ever had!! We use to like dining out at Italian places but not now. Not after eating this sauce. I don't think there is any sauce that will taste as good as this. My Husband eats this stuff by the spoonful. It is that good!! (I don't claim it..."

Ingredients: dried basil, chopped tomatoes...

"Pure comfort food! Stamppot consists of mashed potatoes mixed with various ingredients like carrots, onions or kale, and it was one of my favourites when I lived in Holland. It is often served as the main meal, with a smoked, spicy sausage such as rookworst. I tend to cook it as taught me by my Dutch friend, Anna, with lots of root vegetables, and in..."

Ingredients: fresh parsley leaves, leeks...
