Creamed Spinach with Jalapeno Peppers from Home Cooking

Another 5 star; not as spicy as you might guess (but you can fix that if you like). Creamed spinach with a kick! Finger-licking (spoon-licking) good. Has become an annual thanksgiving side, and each time... read more >

Chocolate Raspberry Crisp : page 71

Everyone should make this recipe right now!! Of course, it's best when raspberries are in season, so you get lots of intense fruit flavor, but seriously, the chocolate crisp part is so good it would make a crisp made out of socks taste good. I have often had extra topping, even after laying it on pretty thickly, and never want to throw it out until it is way past time, so try to think of another use!! Also, it can be hard to tell when it is "set", but I find it works if I look for a sort of matte, dry finish. It may be shiny and a bit bubbling at the edge, but the center should look matte and dry. Letting it cool can fix even over-baked topping; it'll still crumble, and be useful. Crowd pleaser!
