"This delicious recipe won $40,000 many years ago in a Pillsbury Bake-Off."

"I wanted a good, basic cheesecake recipe so I called one of my closest cooking mentors and she gave me this little gem. Posting it here for safe keeping!"

"This recipe makes the most beautifully browned, juiciest and flavorful turkey. And it's super easy to boot. It's inspired from the California Culinary Academy. Important!! This recipe only works well if you stuff the turkey. I didn't think that it would make a big difference, but when I baked a turkey and didn't stuff it a while back, It was way overcooked....not good. But this is great for a big stuffed bird. If I were serving this for a special occasion though, I would definately use a programmable thermometer... I got mine for around $15 at Meijers and I use it a LOT! So well worth the small investment. Insert the thermometor into the thickest part og the thigh and bring the temp to 165 to 170 degrees."See More

"Because of my husband’s heart issues, we’ve had to drastically reduce his sodium. It’s hard to make foods without salt and not notice a difference so I’m going to post the ones he says taste like “normal.” We are a big family so I actually double this recipe." See More

"I've had this recipe at many women's happy hours and luncheons. I made it for my niece's wedding in Cincinnati and it was the HIT of the party!! So simple, but absolutely lovely!!"

"My DD got this recipe from her GM when she was visiting last year. They made these together then GM gave DD the krumkake iron to take and make them at home."

"Another recipe found in Mom's collection, - Hope you enjoy -"

"I think this casserole tastes even better than a real taco, it is SO DELICIOUS!...if you love tacos, then you will love this casserole! My recipe#76616 works great for this recipe. ALL ingredients can be adjusted to suit taste. It is best to prepare this casserole and bake right away as the broken tacos will get too soggy." See More

"I came up with this one day after trying out other recipes on my children that they rejected. I have one son who doesn't eat eggs, so it makes hit hard to make a breakfast casserole everyone will eat. I finally did it with this one!"

"I have had a small metal decorative plate for many years. This recipe is printed on it and I somehow never got around to trying it. It sounds similar to a Cranberry Nut bread that is one of my favorites, but is a bit different from the other blueberry bread recipes here at Zaar. Since my family is"cranberried out"after the holidays, I am going to make this for New Year's Day. There are no directions on the plate, just the ingredient list. Times are a guess-timate and I will update this right after I bake it."See More
