Our dinner yesterday, very cheesy and tasty. Loved the idea of using shredded potato as the crust, and the cauliflower-onion mixture was absolutely delicious. I browned the onions, which made the filling more flavorful; I also added a few dashes of red hot pepper sauce into the crust mixture to give a bit zing. Definitely a keeper and will be making it again!

This is one of the best butternut squash casserole I have ever made. There were lots of flavors and textures going on. We made half of the recipe, I added some buttermilk powder into milk to make the buttermilk and used the dried thyme, otherwise followed the recipe exactly.

Like the name of the recipe, these veggie balls were absolutely wonderful. They came together nicely, and were packed with flavor. I have to say they are the best veggie balls I have ever had so far. I baked them in the oven for about 28 minutes to make them crisper on the outside.

Loved it, classic french style, simply prepared with a flavor packed jus. One change I made was to brown the chicken breast in a non-stick pan (and then finish cooking by popping it into the oven) before making the sauce to build extra flavor.
