110 first recipes

I made this for dinner this evening and had raves from the entire family!!!! First recipe tried from your site and you can be assured I will be trying many. We have very diverse tastes and your site seems to accomadate varied tastes. Thank you.

Delicious! I find that it's easier to form the cookies if you make the filling first, refrigerate it, roll it into the 1" balls, then refrigerate again. I flatten the chocolate cookie part into disks and envelope the filling balls inside, rolling again. Very easy to make.

First time to make my own pita bread, and I was shocked by how they beautifully puffed. Then I realized it was not hard at all to make your own. Whole wheat flour gave extra tangy flavor, definitely well worth the efforts and will make my own pita bread from now on :)

This recipe is easy, cheap, nutritious, and my four kids (age 1,2,4, and 5) all eat 2 or 3 of them each time I make it. The first time I made it, I had to double the recipe in a hurry because everyone ate so much. It's even good without sauce.

Making your own granola bars is always the best. It tastes delicious and it's packed with you favorite ingredients. After I tried making my first bunch, there is no turning back to store-bought ones any more. Just made these bars a while ago, still cooling, and smells divine :-)

Good olive oil, a few sage sprigs, fresh lemon strips, sweet baby peppers, garlics and mixed Italian olives are sauteed in a pan, and they come out delicious and flavorful. Serve it with some warm crusted bread, you will be additive to these yummy bites after the first attempt.

The combination of honey and the nuts make this cole slaw the best. This is my husbands favorite coleslaw, when I first made it he just went on and one about how good it was. I got the recipe from my Aunt. I'm guessing about 5 weight watchers points per serving.

I was looking for a recipe which would show off the colors of M&Ms. I exchanged the margarine for butter. At first bite, the cookie was a bit dry. Then the butter kicked in and it just melted in my mouth. What a flavor experience! I will definitely be making this cookie again!

A cozy and comfy miso stew is ideal for cool fall and cold winter. Sweet potato, tofu (or you can use cooked chicken or pork meat instead), and mushrooms are browned with garlic, ginger and scallions first to maximize the deliciousness, then simmered in a miso based soup. Warms you up in a second!

This cream cheese-based cracker spread is served free at a local pub. It was so delicious that I knew I had to try to duplicate it home after I first had it. At the pub, the spread is served with club-type crackers, but it goes well on any cracker or with crudites.

An amazingly moist and tasty rhubarb cake. The applesauce and yogurt really made the cake super moist and delicious. Considering it's a butter or oil free cake, when I had my first piece, I realized that you really didn't need any butter or oil. All the ingredients were just perfectly balanced, the cake was absolutely a winner!

A coffee fudge popsicle recipe asked for condensed milk that I didn't have on hand, but I did have a few cans of evaporated milk sitting in the pantry. Then I made my very first condensed milk, it came out surprisingly delicious, and those coffee fudge popsicles were absolutely the best on this planet.

Instead of baking in the oven, I cooked it in a skillet. Browned the onions with a bit olive oil and garlic first, next browned carrots and celeries; then added remaining ingredients, brought to a boil, and simmered for about 30 minutes. Very tasty and filling, I had it with a few warm corn tortillas. Yum!

This is the first time I have ever made bread in my life, and this recipe was really easy. I made both a long loaf and a round one and they both turned out great. Nice chewy crust on the outside and soft on the inside, and great flavor. I'm no longer intimidated of the thought of making bread. Thanks so much, great recipe!!

Love Korean food since I was in the university, kimchee is definitely one of my favorites, and any time go to a Korean restaurant, kimchee is one of the side dishes I must order, no question. Finally, the first time I made my own kimchee, and it turned out as good as the ones I had at any restaurant, here the recipe is!

I had this Greek pastry for the first time in a restaurant and I was not overly thrilled with it. So when I ran across this recipe and saw how easy is was to make I decided to try it. I liked my version much better, which will no doubt cause an uproar. So to anyone who has tried this dessert I want you to make this one and let me know if you like it, maybe it tastes nothing like it is suppose to.
