"Wow! This is really great! I've tried before to make macaroni salad on my own and couldn't get it to taste right. I really think that it came down to the mustard and the vinegar...I would have never thought to put those in the dressing: A keeper, thank you! **I omit the olives and bacon for potlucks at work--still a hit:

"Exactly what I was looking for--I needed a recipe that had the eggs factored in as a binder to help the pasta hold up when cut for serving. Saw several that didn't and the photos pretty much looked like a normal plate of spaghetti and meat sauce.

I read several of the reviews and decided to make this layered--pasta/egg binder, smear of..."

"Really enjoyed the results of the brine. I used a bottle of apple juice I needed to finish up and the only addition I made was some fresh parsley and the zest of half a lemon.

I did follow the instructions of another brine recipe I found when looking for one to try. I rinsed the meat off twice and patted dry prior to cooking. I know the tre ..."

"I hadn't made pepper steak in forever and wanted to find a recipe similar to what I used to make and this was almost it. I really enjoyed it and only made a couple of changes--no celery, used water chestnuts and used these awesome orange grape tomatoes halved added at the end. I forgot I was out of cornstarch but will pick some up tomorrow for t..."

"Skipped backtracking at the grocery store to pick up a bottle of this because I knew I'd find a good recipe here that I could make with kitchen staples and I was right:

After reading some reviews, I did omit the granulated sugar. I held off adding until everything else was mixed in and tasted. The sugar came from the minced sweet and s..."

"I really liked this recipe as a starting point. I've made it as posted with homemade stock, with boxed stock and with additions. As posted it's good but yeah, mild even with jalepeno in it. I always do my own thing with seasonings as I think most people do. I used Goya Sazon in this, a dried herb salt free blend as well.
I've al ..."

"I really enjoyed this recipe. I made it pretty close to the directions with only a couple additions.

Used 97/3 ground beef, 1 lb (what I had on hand, I cooked it about halfway as directed. I had also seen a Cuban cook make this on Diner's DriveIns & Dives and that's how she cooked her meat, halfway.
I grated the garlic w/ a micropl..."

"Have made this several times for the work crowd and it is an enormous hit. There is a grocery store chain here that makes this type of deli salad and everyone says this is dead on just like it.

I roast my chicken breasts, skin on/on the bone seasoned with salt and pepper, then remove the meat when cooled. I save up the roasted bones in ..."

"These are exactly the recipe a fried uses and I've just made them for the first time myself and they're perfect. I'm not a rosemary fan so I used 1/2 the rosemary and the rest fresh thyme and a sprinkle of powder. My friend sometimes changes up the sausage, either using hot breakfast or even Italian sausage w/ cheddar, parmesan, garlic and basi..."

"I really like this recipe and haven't really found many that will take its place for old fashioned mac and cheese. I've only added 2 things that I did like from other recipes and they are strictly a matter of personal taste. 1/2 tsp dry mustard powder and a couple of shakes of Tabasco to the roux.

I also found that I get fewer lumps a..."
