"I have made zillions of trifles in my lifetime, but this one is fantastic. Toffee bits are unavailable where I live, so I always have visitors bring me some just to make this (usually for them)."

Ingredients: fudge brownie mix, dry instant coffee...

"This is the best Penne a la Vodka I have ever had! I cannot even order it in restaurants anymore, since it will never stand up to this fantastic recipe!"

Ingredients: fresh ground pepper, dried basil leaves...

"We were served this very simple and delicious dessert at a friend's house yesterday. Both the adults and the kids had a great time dipping and devouring!"

Ingredients: fresh strawberries, plain nonfat yogurt...

"Made in my house for every family gathering and holiday. Possibly the most delicious thing you'll EVER eat--even if you don't like yams, which I don't."

Ingredients: dark brown sugar, heavy cream...

"This is such a wonderful summertime treat! I have used all kinds of fruit combinations in this; use your imagination. Far richer and intense in flavour than anything you can buy, and yet it's almost all just healthy fruit. The fruits that work best have a fairly smooth fleshy texture; things like mangoes, muskmelons, peaches, apricots, and bananas...."

Ingredients: fruit, mangoes, peaches...

"Garlic & Horseradish...what could be better?! I got this recipe form Central Market located here in TX and changed it a bit. (Cook time is actually the time to let it marinate in the fridge)"

Ingredients: spicy mustard, cracked black pepper...

"Mind-boggingly simple. If you are in a super hurry you can mix and serve the dip immediately, but the flavor is better after sitting for a while."

Ingredients: fresh Italian parsley, mayonnaise...

"I promise this is one of the nicest ways to enjoy quality tomatoes and basil. Like I say, don't make this if you can't get hold of home-grown or vine-ripened tomatoes. It's not worth doing. And don't use your tomatoes from the fridge."

Ingredients: fresh ground black pepper, olive oil...

"This is one of my favorite recipes, full of Mediterranean flavor and high in calcium. It uses pecorino romano, a salty parmesan-like hard cheese made of sheep's milk. I used a goat's milk feta but you can use any type of feta you can find. It calls for lacinato kale (a/k/a dinosaur kale) which is preferable if you can find it - If not, use..."

Ingredients: pecorino romano cheese, extra virgin olive oil...

"Chocolate, orange, sour cream, yum! I usually frost this cake with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and orange juice."

"I just created this dish this morning, making it up as I went along. Just one taste told me I had a winner."

Ingredients: olive oil, onions, paprika...

"An easy dinner for two that won't heat your kitchen up as it cooks very quickly. Easily doubled for 4 if you have a large skillet. Boneless salmon fillets can be substituted for salmon steaks if you hate picking out the bones."

Ingredients: honey, orange juice, oranges...

"My friend Lorraine B gave me this wonderful recipe when I was looking for an interesting hostess gift. One of the best things about this recipe is that it only takes one week to infuse, as opposed to up to a month that I've seen in other recipes. I actually made a quadruple recipe and got 6 bottles to give as gifts (I kept one for myself, of course!)...."

Ingredients: lemons, sugar, vodka...

"Decadent chocolate truffles, made even more sinful with the addition of your favourite liqueur. The yield will depend on how small you roll the truffles; I get at least 15 usually."

Ingredients: egg yolks, icing sugar...
