“Something I just threw together on a whim. It turned out pretty great, so I thought I’d share.” – Tawnis

“This is my favorite recipe for Salisbury steak. It’s very easy and gets rave reviews! You can simmer this for awhile. The longer you do, the thicker, darker and more flavorful the gravy becomes. This recipe makes extra gravy for mashed potatoes.” – Sea

“This is one of my favorite meals that my mom taught me to make. She taught me to cook, but she seldom used a recipe. So when I ask her how much of an ingredient to use, she often answers, until it looks right! So I think this is the first time this recipe has been written down. If it doesn’t look right, add a little more of this or a little less of that.” – Kerri

“These are so nice if you want your own personal meatloaf and so handy when company is coming over.” – Sondra

“This is my grandmother’s version of Hungarian Chicken Paprikash. If there is food served in Heaven, I am sure this is on the menu! My grandmother was the best cook ever.

“I love this lasagna. So yummy, the flavor literally explodes in your mouth!” – Jess

“This is definitely one of my favorite recipes to prepare for my family! Everyone loves it, and it’s so easy to throw together. I like to make fresh rolls with it. Sometimes I’ll make my own from scratch, and sometimes I’ll buy that Rhodes frozen white roll dough and let it rise all day. A fresh roll with butter just completes the dish!” – Megan

“This One Pot Chili Mac is the perfect quick family meal. This chili mac only uses one pot and is packed with flavor. Topped with cheese it’s kid-approved.” – Debbie

“My family is English, and this is a staple weekday meal on a cold winter night. Easy to prepare on a weekend for reheating during the week. You can double or triple the recipe. Make a huge pot because it saves well and reheats wonderfully. A bowl of this and soda bread – perfect! A bottle of Guinness to drink doesn’t go wrong either!” – Michelle

“When I want comfort food, I usually make this. There are so many things about this recipe that take me back to my childhood. I hope it becomes a favorite recipe of yours too.” – Carla

“My family asks for this dish at least once a month. Even people that don’t care for tuna love it!! It’s easy to make and tastes even better the next day.” – Amanda

“My husband and I love good chili in the fall and winter which is easy to make on short notice. This recipe is not too hot for your taste buds but can be manipulated for those who want more of a punch. I also use the leftover chili to make my Tex-Mex chili cheese enchiladas.” – Sena

“This is the best meatloaf; I hope you agree. You can spice it up with green chilies or chopped jalapeno. I usually double the recipe and put one (uncooked) in the freezer for later.” – Mary

This soup is guaranteed to warm you up from the inside out on any cold blustery day and it tastes really good too.” – Grace
