Roasted Apple and Aged White Cheddar Soup

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls
“This dish was wonderful. My husband, who traditionally shuns leftovers, was wanting to take some for lunch the next day. One week later, he's requesting this again. So good!” - Susan
Stuffed Eggplant Italiano
“This is a fantastic stuffed eggplant recipe. Veggies are sauteed, stuffed into the eggplant shell, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, and roasted to perfection. The combination of ingredients creates a flavorful Italian meal. Hearty enough for a main dish or cut into smaller pieces for a side dish. This is simple and wonderful!” - Kitchen Crew

Awesome Maple-Balsamic Blue Cheese Pear Salad
“This is an AWESOME, fabulous salad! The dressing is made with real maple syrup, and the salad is dressed with candied pecans, blue cheese, pear slices and some dried Cranberries. The ingredients might sound strange for a salad, but they work wonderfully together - It is SOOO good! I hope you like it as much as my family. Especially great in the fall and for the fall-winter holidays.” - Sher
Zuppa Toscana (Thick)
“Zuppa Toscana is a soup we love to get at Italian restaurants. This hearty made from scratch recipe is better than what you'll find at that chain restaurant. It's creamy with bits of crunchy, fresh kale in every bite. The sausage adds a spicy kick and there's a hint of smoky flavor from bacon. Serve with garlic bread and you have a comforting Italian meal. We opted to test this recipe in a Crock Pot, but a Dutch oven would be just as easy and delicious.” - Kitchen Crew
Baked Beef Chimichangas
“I came up with this recipe because my husband's favorite recipe is chimichangas from our local Mexican restaurant. But I try to stay away from frying too many things. So this recipe uses my slow cooker and the oven. I hope you try and enjoy. After you taste the flavor of these, you won't want takeout again!!” - Beth

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
“Everyone LOVES this recipe. It's a personal one of mine that I have tweaked to perfection. The casserole is even great the next day... if there is even any left. At my house, it is usually gone within 4 hours. It's super quick, cheap, and easy. Enjoy!” - Erin
Brown Sugar Glazed Meatloaf
“My family loves this meatloaf and asks me to make it often. Though there are so many great ways to make meatloaf this one is our favorite. The mixture of beef, pork, and veal make it so flavorful and the brown sugar glaze is amazing!” - Sandra
