Steve's Turkey BurgersThese are amazing. I used ground chicken instead of turkey. Everyone that has tried these has asked where I found the recipe and they rave about them. Absolutely delicious. I kept a couple in the freezer and grilled them 2 weeks later and they were just as good.

Angel Hair with Shrimp & Lemon Cream SauceSauce does not thicken enough for my preferences. If I make it again I will add the parm toward the end of the cream and shrimp cooking as a thickener. Then pour over the pasta, similar to making an Alfredo. The lemon was a nice addition.

Perfect Apple PieNot too sweet but allows the flavor of the apples to come out. When preparing in the pan I really thought that there was going to be too much liquid. Even when it was put in the crust I did not have much faith. I was completely wrong. This pie cooked up beautifully and tastes great. I will make it again.

Classic Thai Fried RiceAdded some mixed vegetables to recipe. Nice vegetarian option. No too spicy either.
|
|
Simple White CakeSo few ingredients but great flavor and texture. I made them with my neise and nephew and they turned out wonderfully and the kids loved making them. Great recipe.
|
|
Mushroom RisottoVery nice and basic side dish that can be made as a vegetarian option by substituting vegetable stock. Really Vince with fish or chicken and is substantial enough to be served as a main dish.
|
|
Rat City Chili (Vegan)You could fool almost any meat eater with this recipe. Nice and thick and the veggie crumbles give a substantial feel to it. I reduced the Cayenne Pepper by half due to personal taste preferences but still a spicy dish for a cold, snowy Michigan day.
|
|
Spaghetti CarbonaraWill make again but next time I will add an additional egg yoke. I would have liked a little more richness that the additional yoke would provide
|
|
|
Creamy Soft PolentaWonderful flavor and texture. A quick and easy side. The addition of cream gives the polenta a really nice depth of flavor.
|
|
|
Gnocchi Al Gorgonzola (Sauce)Quick and easy. Very hearty sauce.
|
|
Gnocchi with Mushroom SauceQuick and easy. Great flavor and the mushrooms cook up nicely in the sauce. I used white button and portobello.
|
|
Gnocchi with Sage, Butter And ParmesanThe gnocchi was perfect. Great texture and cooked up light and flavorful. The key is to use the right potatoes.
