These were my first empanadas and the recipe was really great. The dough was easy to work with and the filling was just enough for 8 large (6in) empanadas. The filling smelled amazing when it was cooking, but I'd probably increase the spices for more flavor next time. That being said, with the salt sprinkled on top (a MUST) and some sour cream garnish, these were quite tasty! Appetizer Recipe: Empanadas with CornRecipes from The Kitchn |

Oo, I used to get cocao ravioli stuffed with butternut squash in a sage brown butter sauce. I'll bet the squash/sage combo would work well with any choco-pasta. What Can I Do With Chocolate Pasta? Good Questions |

These are in the oven right now! My shortening/sugar never really seemed to get fluffy and my dough was a little dry, so I wet my hands while I was forming the balls. The house smells fantastic right now. I <3 cinnamon. Old-Fashioned Recipe: Crinkle Top Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies |

At Po in NY. I remember thinking my salad was ok and my entree was ok, but I would have stabbed someone's hand if they came near my dessert! It was a slab of chocolate, almost like fudge and with some kind of almondy, amaretto flavor that highlighted, not masked, the quality of the dark chocolate. What's the Best Dessert You Ever Ate? |

I just ate these for dinner with some eggs and potatoes. Fan-freakin-tastic. These were delicious and so easy (with the shredding might of my food processor). Please make these for whatever meal you plan on eating next! Recipe: Hashed Sprouts with Hazelnuts and Fried Capers |

I used a vegetable stock in place of the turkey and cooking sherry instead of amontillado and this still turned out great. A perfect tummy warmer on a rainy day. Recipe: Sherry-Garlic Soup with Smoked Paprika Six Ingredients (and Salt) |

When we were kids, we'd always green the milk, which made mom's coffee an unappetizing shade of ick. Mom would get us back by using the milk to make green pancakes for dinner! St. Patrick's Day Recipes Without Corned Beef or Cabbage? Good Questions |

Made this recipe as written and they turned out fantastic! Definitely serve them right away as mine got tough as the night went on. It was totally fun rolling up the dough and twisting the tubes into those little knots! How To Make Scallion Pancakes |

I always forget about leftovers, so when I make a casserole just for 2, I put it in a glass loaf pan. Pretty much keeps that volume/surface area ratio though, as noted above, sometimes the cooking time should be reduced. Halving Casseroles: Tips for Reducing the Size of a Recipe |

It's so... pretty.... I already want one for all the wrong reasons. I would still use a cookbook like this one, it would just be inconvenient since I'd have to keep it at a safe distance from all food. On Pondering a Big, Pretty, Expensive Cookbook |

This was my first meyer lemon dish and I thought it was great. I used barley instead of farro and israeli couscous, but otherwise followed the recipe. The almonds were a must, but I loved the flavors and the textures. Now, if I only knew what to do with the rest of my meyer lemons!

As a vegetarian cook, I do love the presentation of stuffed squash (looking for a centerpiece dish? Stuff a whole pumpkin!) but I also love tarts, galettes, and quiches. They're easily assembled ahead of time, leaving you less stress on busy days, and can be filled with just about anything. The last one I made contained spinach and aged gouda, but I think my favorite this season combined sliced peaches, rosemary, and gruyere! Here's a good basic quiche recipe. http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=10000001901966&cookbook_id=5168475 Help Me Find Festive Vegetarian Dishes for the Holidays!

Pre-cook! I usually halve and roast the squash, cook the grains and mix them with other stuff, then just stuff the squash and toss it in the oven long enough to heat everything through. No Recipe Required: Favorite Fillings for Stuffed Veggies |
