Simply Incredible!!! I have never had a quiche recipe work for me. They always end up a soupy mess and leave me frustrated and dejected. This one turned out so wonderfully and gorgeous - pretty enough for company. It tasted fantastic. I used a quiche pan instead of a 9" pie pan(as I said I never had one turn out, but it doesn't stop me from trying) ;-) If you like chorizo and want to try a quiche recipe that is totally fool proof - THIS IS THE ONE!!! Yummy!!! I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

This is a fantastic recipe my mom taught me when I was 9 or 10, because it's so easy to make, and makes plenty to feed everyone.

Serve these succulent baked German pork chops over a bed of rice or with some good bread to soak up all the yumminess.

My 10-year-old today made these bran muffins, and they came out moist, and not too sweet. Perfect for breakfast or snack. She enjoyed making these muffins very much.

A rich version of German apple pancake. Half and half adds the richness, using more apples than usual really highlights the apple flavor, and cinnamon gives the extra warmness. An ideal and delicious breakfast.

Quick, easy and tasty! Salad greens, fresh blueberries are tossed with balsamic blueberry vinaigrette, topped with crumbled goat cheese and maple glazed hazelnuts.

Authentic sausage casserole done right. Creamy custard-like interior with crispy edges and two cheeses interwoven. Say no-more. Make-ahead makes it painlessly delish.

Roasted squash and apple gave the soup lots of yummy flavor, chopped hazelnuts added some crunchy texture and nuttiness. We served it with a savory pie together, perfect. Or you can serve the soup with a loaf of good bread.

Moist, chocolaty, nutty, and delicious. This apple cake is made of fresh apples and apple sauce and frosted by both butter and chocolate frosting.

Sweet baby bell peppers stuffed with a slightly spicy and garlicky mix of cream and jack cheese. Fairly easy to prep and only 10 minutes cooking time.

Quick and easy to make, and it comes out very tasty. Couscous absorbs all the yummy flavor from the broth, then tossed with chunks of apples, dried cranberries, and toasted almonds. A light vinaigrette brings all the flavors together and makes it into a delicious meal.

Learn how to make a classic Western Omelet. This classic is revisited, using sweet red pepper instead of green and adding parsley to brighten the result and some other tweaks to keep it light, fresh, and healthy.

The delicious crumb topping makes these muffins taste like miniature coffee cakes. Good at tea time and also for brunch. Cool at least 1 hour before serving.

"A tall, impressive cake that showcases the flavors and smells of the holidays. A three-layer extravaganza with a touch of molasses and shredded apple to keep it moist. It fills the house with a fragrance that beats the most expensive holiday-scented candle. It will be talked about long after the party is over." Source: The Pastry Queen Christmas, by Rebecca Rather

It's the season of Swiss chard and kale. We got lots of these fresh leafy greens from our CSA farm, and I was trying to come out an idea to use them up, surfing the internet, found a recipe in New York Times, it's a chard and feta phyllo tart. Definitely got the inspiration, I used both chard and kale, instead of feta, I used cheddar; and I sauteed some fresh mushrooms and added some toasted pine nuts, which worked very well. Also, I used a pie plate instead of a tart pan, and it was a great success, absolutely flavorful and delicious. The phyllo crust came out flaky and crispy. Have definitely become one of my signature recipes :)

Slow-cooked beef patties in a creamy mushroom and onion gravy. Real comfort food.
