• Brooke's meatloaf with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh mozzarella

  • Cheri on January 12, 2014

    This was ok, but I like other recipes better. The mozzarella cubes disappeared ... I was expecting a little oozy cheese bite throughout. It's not a bad change, but I would only give it 3 stars. I did make them into small individual loaves, so I could easily freeze the leftovers (there are only 2 of us).

• Red wine-braised short ribs with herbed rice pilaf

    This was wonderful and easy to put together and let cook in the oven. Only thing I would change in the recipe is that I added some cornstarch/water mixed into the liquid to help make it more a gravy being it didn't thicken as easy as the recipe said it would. Will make again! Made along with the Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Bacon and Pecans and the Cast-Iron Skillet Creamed Corn.

• Cast-iron skillet creamed corn

  • Shannoncooks17 on October 24, 2019

    Made this along with the Red Wine Braised Short Ribs. Did exactly as the recipe called but because of timing didn't puree part of the corn. Will try that next time. This was good and the 16 year old liked it! That was a surprise!

• Homemade buttermilk ranch dressing

  • Shannoncooks17 on July 03, 2023

    Very good. I actually needed to make it a little thicker so it would be more of a "dip" for veggies so I added some more of the ingredients along with sour cream to thicken. Everyone loved it!
