Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
“I made these exactly by directions but finished off the pre-baked cabbage rolls with rinsed sauerkraut and about 3 slices of uncooked bacon. I’m not a sauerkraut fan but in these cabbage rolls it makes them 5 extra stars. I covered everything with cooked cabbage leaves and they spent 8 hours on low in my slow cooker. I loved them and hubby asked me to marry him again. Thanks for this awesome recipe. These are regular rotation food.” —Cindy Bilbrough

Beef and Guinness Stew
“World’s worst stew maker ended up making the world’s BEST stew. I made a couple of minor changes. I used a chocolate stout beer as I had no Guinness. It made it richer. I also used the chicken broth as in the original recipe. Because I started it late, I cooked in a pressure cooker for 20 min. instead of the hours of baking. Came out perfect.” —Terri

Italian Sausage Tortellini
“I love it. Got the recipe some time back. Invited son and family and they raved. Daughter in law asked for recipe. Prepared as written but last week I was short on white wine and used some red whine with the white. Absolutely still delicious.If I fix it for myself, I only put spinach in the amount for that particular meal. The rest of it reheats nicely but it is better with fresh spinach.” —Irma Tolin

Cha Cha’s White Chicken Chili
“I’ve been making this recipe for years now. Some other commenters have said this chili is too spicy, whereas I add Tapatio to my bowl! I used to make it with the chicken, but I don’t eat meat now and it’s still very good without the chicken. I use less beans and more broth-- mine is a bit more of a stew or chunky soup than a chili, but everyone has their preferences!” —Twin Peaks 2016
