Eggplant Parmesan
“This is a great step-by-step Eggplant Parmesan recipe. What we love is that this recipe is fancy enough for a special occasion but easy enough to cook anytime. We loved the dredging method. The result is a perfectly crisp crust. Fried eggplant is layered with gooey cheese in between, then topped with marinara sauce and finally more shredded mozzarella cheese. This is just like an Eggplant Parmesan you'd order at a fancy Italian restaurant. So good!” - Kitchen Crew
Crispy Sweet & Sour Tofu
“This is my healthier take on a Chinese takeout classic -- the tofu is baked not fried, and the sauce has a tangy taste from fresh ginger and garlic along with rice wine and vinegar. What I like most about this dish is I can get all the ingredients ready ahead of time so that come dinner time I can just do a quick stir fry and boil the rice and have a warm, delicious, and healthy dinner on the table.” - Shikha
Artichoke-Topped Portobello Mushrooms
“These portobello mushrooms are a great vegetarian meal option. The mushrooms are large, hearty, and savory enough that you don't miss the meat. The rice, artichoke, onion, and bell pepper topping is delish. Seasoned perfectly, serve these stuffed mushrooms on their own, with a side salad, or a bowl of soup.” - Kitchen Crew
New England Style Grilled Cheese
“Soooooooooooooo YUMMY !!!!!!!! Great on a cool, crisp autumn day !!!!” - Janette
Creamy Tuscan Mushrooms
“Mushrooms are one of my favourite foods and this recipe is an amazing way to enjoy them! This dish is so easy to make, it uses whole mushrooms, so no slicing, and they are just quickly cooked before making the tasty sauce! The sauce is pretty simple with a base of cream seasoned with parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, which are just packed with flavour, not to mention the Italian seasoning!” - Kevin
Spinach Alfredo Pizza
“This is an absolute hit at my house. My family loves CiCi's, so I tried one of my own. YUMMY!” - Patty
Vegetarian Stuffed Mushrooms For Two
“This was last minute decision for dinner and my wife loved it. When she really likes one of my dishes she tells me, ‘Put this in your repertoire for future meals.’ This will definitely be made again.” - George
Mom's Fried Potatoes And Onions
“My husband, Mark, is a meat and potatoes man. He absolutely loves this fried potatoes and onions recipe! He will actually eat this as his main meal. It's wonderful comfort food.” - Fran
Ultimate Nachos With Homemade Cheese Sauce
“I am a big fan of mac and cheese and I adapted my recipe to make it into a nacho sauce. This is always a big hit, especially with football season in full swing. If you don't like your nacho cheese on the spicy side, consider reducing the cayenne pepper and/or using regular monterey jack cheese instead of pepper jack.” - Fran
Cauliflower Broccoli Casserole
“I just made this and it was the best, I left out the margarine and added 1 cup of water from the steamed vegetables and I thought it was sooooo good.” - Bonnie
Spinach Parmesan With Pasta
“Making AGAIN tonight as this has become one of our faves. I add fresh spinach in the pasta water the last 4 minutes of coming the pasta. And as a final step make a cracker/cheese typing and put in a 350 preheated oven until the top is browned and crispy.” - Janet
Rustic Farm-Fresh Tomato Soup
“In late summer, when tomatoes are abundant, I love to make this fresh tomato soup with our family farm tomatoes and just a handful of everyday ingredients. Add a grilled cheese sandwich and you're all set. Healthy, fresh, and easy... my kind of recipe.” - Quinn (substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth in this recipe)
Roasted Butternut Squash Four Cheese Lasagna
“Rich, warm layers of lightly sweet butternut squash, creamy ricotta, caramelized onions and vibrant greens nestled between sheets of tender pasta with zesty marinara and mozzarella on top.” - April
Italian Plum Tomato Sauce
“This is a delicious Italian Plum Tomato Sauce. Serve it over your favorite pasta, or like my husband, he eats it just by itself.” - Gia
Broccoli And Rice Casserole
“This is *amazing* it even made me appear to be a great cook! I shared it on facebook, and several others are singing its praises! I added bell pepper and onion. Thank you SO much for sharing this!” - Julie
Italian Minestrone

Fettuccine Alfredo With Vegetables
“I made this for dinner today, and it tasted very, very good! My family and I absolutely loved it; this recipe is a keeper. My husband asked me to pack some for him to take to work for lunch.” - Sophia
Easy Crock Pot Macaroni And Cheese
“Crock Pot recipes should be dump and go and that's exactly what this macaroni and cheese recipe is. No need to pre-boil the pasta. The noodles absorb the evaporated milk and cheddar soup. The end product is creamy, cheesy, and smooth. A great recipe to bring to potlucks or if you want an easy side dish.” - Kitchen Crew
