This is just delicious and a bit better for you than nachos. Great for a weeknight meal.

I decided to make these with the optional choice of limes instead of lemons. I made a half-recipe and got 2 dozen cookies. Next time I’ll be making a whole recipe since these were delicious. The only thing I’d do differently is to roll the cookies in the confectioners’ sugar instead of dropping them into a resealable plastic bag. These cookies are delicate and some of them fell apart after tossing them into the bag. I love the tartness of the lime juice and zest along with the sweetness of the sugar. These are small cookies but pack a delightfully large punch. YUM!

Great meal for a cold night. These were delicious. My daughter and her husband were visiting and since she doesn't eat red meat I also make her a version using chicken and chicken broth. It was great too.

I have made this many times since adding this book to my collection. My family and I love this one. It's so easy to make, pretty to look at and delicious to eat. Great for taking to a pot luck. Be prepared to share the recipe!

We loved these. The first time I made them I made half without the Swiss. Even though they are great with the cheese I liked them even better without. This is a fast easy meal for a work night. All you need to add is some cranberry sauce and a veggie and you're all set.

My daughter and I loved this one. We enjoyed the little kick the chipotles gave the dish.

This is a wonderful fall salad full of fall flavors. The dressing would be good on a variety of salads. I couldn't find just baby arugula so I used mixed baby greens that contained arugula. I love Pomegranate molasses but we are unable to find it here and I was out of what I brought back from California with me so I used the suggested option of honey and used honey from our own bees.

These make a wonderful lunch. My family loves the chipotle cream on other sandwiches and wraps as well.
We enjoy these often.

I had the pleasure of trying this cake at Dori Sanders talk at our local library. One of the local restaurants made several of the recipes from Dori's cookbook. It was delicious. I plan on making one of my own.

This is so good. It is best made with fresh fresh from the garden tomatoes. I've made it with heirloom tomatoes, plum tomatoes and also a mixture of yellow and red ones. It's a wonderful summer dish.

These shells are so good it's hard to believe they're actually healthy. I often use cottage cheese instead of ricotta when making these since we like that better.

This makes a delightful change for your supper. It is loaded with flavor but not with calories. If you're trying to loose or maintain your weight and want a tasty treat try this.

This dish is amazing. Who'd think broccoli could be this good. We loved this one. Loads of flavor to make even the non broccoli lover stand up and take notice.

This was a delicious meal. You just need to add a veggie and you're all set. We love the flavor that chipotles give a dish and this was great.

We made this one with bay scallops instead of shrimp and it was so good. Easy to make with simple ingredients.

I love what the horseradish does to simple mashed potatoes. Wonderful on a cold nigh and great with the Pot au Feu in this book on page 176.

This is so delicious for a winter supper. I make it almost every winter for my daughter and I along with the Creamy Polenta page 206, and Pear Milk and Gingersnaps page 208. Not a hard meal to make but wonderful to eat. Great for Vegetarians, minus the pear milk of course.

Great with the winter menu which includes roasted root veggies. All you need is milk and pear nectar.

This was spicy and delicious. The cheeses were goat cheese, jack cheese and cheddar cheese. Great as a side dish or a meal.

I've made these several times and we love these. I've even made them with raisins instead of cranberries and they're good both ways. To make them a bit healthier I've even used fat free sweetened condensed milk. They make a great breakfast on the go or a wonderful healthy snack.

I've made this one a number of times. It's one of my daughter's and my favorite soups. It has such bright flavors.

This chili has so much flavor. It's a great meal in a bowl. I like that it has macaroni and red kidney beans in ti. Very hearty and filling.

A great healthy sloppy joe.

This is one of my favorites and my family loves it too. Summer flavors in a bowl. So good. My daughter and I like it without the bacon bits but the guys like it with.

This is a wonderful healthy, hearty version of Brunswick stew. Great on a cold winter night.

I love this one. When I'm watching what I eat I make a pan of this so I can have a bit of sweet without the guilt. It sure tastes sinful.

I'd never heard of a kolache until I read this book and heard JoAnna talk about them. They are delicious.

A tasty, hearty meat loaf. Comfort food made healthy. Yum!

This is a delicious soup loaded with good for you veggies. Also to make it more filling and hearty it has some navy beans and pasta. Great for a cold night.

This dish was delicious. The tomatoes went sor well with the asparagus, green onions and mushrooms. Be sure to make this one when you can get fresh asparagus and tomatoes.

This is another favorite of my daughter and myself. So easy to have for a nice hot quick lunch. We loved it over the english muffins.

This one is filled with flavor from the salsa. We like it spicy.

If you like onion rings and don't want the fat try these. They are so crispy and delicious.

We love these tasty sandwiches. Easy and quick lunch. Healthy too!

Easy, fast dessert treat. Tastes similar to the cinnamon twists from Taco Bell.

My son loves the bourbon chicken at Golden Coral and we wanted to try it ourselves. It was delicious and my son said almost like it is at Golden Coral.

We loved the combination of banana, strawberries and blueberries in this one. So refreshing.

We loved this one. Made me want the book that has resulted from this blog. I did use as sirloin steak instead of the flank steak called for since sirloin was on sale for $2 less than the flank. Both my husband and son said it was as good or better than the take out we sometimes get. They hope I'll make this one again and again.

I made this for my husband and son and we all loved it. My daughter made it using tenderized pork steaks instead of beef for her and her husband and they loved it too. I got some tenderized pork on sale a few days ago and plan to make it again using pork. I'll try and remember to update my review when I do.

The cake is tart but not to tart The lemon juice and sugar that you cook together to make the syrup didn’t get very thick but sure gave the cake another jolt of luscious lemon. I’ll definitely make this one again and next time will take it to the next level by making some lemon curd to serve on top of the slices, as suggested by Ina.

This a great dinner roll recipe. Who can resist warm fresh baked dinner rolls? You can't go wrong with these.

We make this quiet often when we want homemade pizza. We also make it for the Pizza Pie with Cheese (P221). It's an excellent pizza dough.

This was a different take on Potatoes O'Brian and the addition of the chicken was great. We loved it.

This is my go to cinnamon roll recipe. We love them. They do take a bit of time since they have yeast in them and you have to allow for rising time but they are so worth it. We love them.

These are wonderful. Even my picky son adores them.

This is a recipe my daughter entered in the contest when they were planning this book. We love it here.

We love this and I've made it many times. I like to make it most times without the sausage. I bake it in a cheese cake pan so I can remove the sides for easy cutting into beautiful pieces. The recipe calls for leftover spaghetti but I usually just cook a box, drain and rinse in cold water before adding the eggs and cheeses.

We made these interesting pork egg rolls like Guy Fieri made on his show and they were great. Think southern crosses with Asian.

This potato soup has a wonderful flavor from the Swiss and a nice bit of spiciness from the paprika and cayenne. Perfect on a cold winter night.

This is an excellent soup. Especially good on a cold winter's night. It'll warm your heart and soul.
