About me: I've been cooking and baking since I was a child and collecting cookbooks almost that long. Years ago, I lost my entire collection in a flood and I've been slowly building it back up. I cook for my husband and three sons who are not very adventurous eaters. We're on the go a lot with sports and school schedules. I love to bake and my boys and their friends appreciate all manner of baked goods.

Ginger Pork Meatballs with Cilantro and Fish Sauce from Dinner: Changing the Game

These meatballs and the dipping sauce were to die for delicious. Although there was a lot of chopping the recipe was easy to follow. Everyone loved it and we will definitely make this again. read more >

The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl

By Ree Drummond
William Morrow Cookbooks - 2009

The filling for these calzones is delicious. A combination of ground beef, sausage, onion, ricotta, mozzarella and monterey jack cheese is so good I couldn't stop eating it as I was filling the calzones. There is more filling than is needed which would taste good scrambled with some eggs for another meal.

The calzones themselves were also quite good. The filling leaked out of about half but I believe that was a problem with the dough being rolled out too thin in spots. The onion is added to the pan at the same time as the beef and sausage and my son complained that the onion tasted raw. Next time I'd cook the onion by itself for a bit before adding the meat.

Oh. My. Bob. These muffins are totally delicious.

I've been wanting to make these for years - ever since I tasted them on Cape Cod about 17 years ago. I don't know why I waited so long.

They are very easy to make and are sinfully good. They're quite terrible for you but they're supposed to be a treat. Next time, I'd ignore Ree's advice to really soak the muffins in the butter. They're better with just a tad less butter on the outside before the rolling in cinnamon sugar.

I'll have to try this again before I'm certain of the rating. This dough just seemed too loose and oily to me. It rose nicely but it was still too oily.

It was able to be rolled out easily and made a nice calzone dough but I prefer a dough that doesn't have quite as much oil.
