"This recipe is great! I had them with a pot roast and they came out fabulous — so soft and the perfect texture!"

"This was just perfect! My bacon was a little lean, so I did add a little olive oil to the bacon fat. I used toasted pecans instead of hazelnuts."
-tara portee
"I make this every year and no one can tell it's a "diabetic-friendly" recipe."
-susanjbourgeois
"I added a couple sprigs of thyme and a few cloves of garlic. Instead of roasting on a tray, I wrapped these in foil. They turned out wonderfully! Tender, yet with some bite left, these had lots of flavor and were very pretty on the plate."
-IngridH
"The dressing was perfect with the beets. I'm glad we tried grilling them, though, because it was an easy and convenient way to cook them."
-emkatc
"This was one of the best scalloped potatoes recipe I have found. Normally mine turn out watery — not so with this one!"
-GregV
"This is an excellent salad. I added some dried cranberries and topped with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Try candied walnuts for little variety, too!"
-Mick's Kitchen
"My eggplant thanks you for providing me with a recipe worthy of its presence. Made the whole thing in the food processor, so it took no time at all."

-Jessica H.
"The aroma brought the entire family into the kitchen to see what Dad was cooking. The entire batch was gone within the first hour. Light, fluffy and very tasty. Almost French with all that butter."
-Carl S.
"This is one great crab cake, I am so glad I got to taste this, as well as make it. Easy to put together, and delicious as well."
-Andi Longmeadow Farm
"These went great with our roast and garlic mashed potatoes! We loved the addition of the cheese. Really pumps up the flavor!"

"I made this as a side dish to accompany a roast I made, but the roast wasn't touched. My husband and boys devoured this!"
-Bogey'sMom
"Definitely five stars. Made this with Mean Chef's Fettuccine Alfredo and Tracy K's brussel sprout recipe. Really terrific--liked how many anchovy fillets were used, really perked up the flavor, and I found the addition of both vinegars to add a whole other dimension to the caesar dressing. Thanks for posting this Evelyn! "

-jswinks
"This is easy, elegant and delicious. I am going to try the sauce on other veggies."

"Quick and easy, but lacking flavor a bit. I find it helps to add some honey or maple syrup to supplement the taste or even a minute amount of cloves. Not bad. Cheers."
-Chef Swifticus
"I've never made Yorkshire Pudding before, but I followed this recipe to the letter. They came out magnificently!"
-candbjohnson
"A great way to fancy up plain wild rice blend. I used a wild and brown rice blend and chicken broth. The sherry adds a nice subtle flavor."
