Here is a recipe, developed young man here in the Detroit area. With this recipe, he won a $10,000 scholarship to Johnson and Wales College, which is considered a top-notch cooking school, located in Charleston, SC. This young man, Andre Black, spent 2 weeks developing this recipe, this cake was among the top 19 recipes chosen (out of 270) as winners. Andre was on the front page of the Detroit News yesterday, along with the recipe. The Detroit News food writer, Robin Mather says "For a Carrot Cake, this is a hell of a fruit cake."

I love rhubarb and I always have it on hand in the freezer, makes great jam and each new season I raid the garden and stock up. This recipe is a favorite, given to me by my husband's Aunt, a long time ago. Hope you try it!

A soft yeast dough stuffed with a quick filling of ground beef, cabbage and cheese is reasonably simply and surprisingly addictive. This mid-western Germany classic is perfect for Oktoberfest or any time of year.

These are the best crackers ever. We have been serving these crackers to our guests a few times, everyone just raves about how addictive-ly delicious they are. Serve these crackers with cheese, hummus, or just having them directly is yummy enough!

Slightly sweet and sour. Ginger and garlic Asian dressing was super flavourful. The napa cabbage, carrots, and radishes gave the salad a nice crunch. Definitely will be making it again with my leftover turkey. I'm sure that it works great with chicken as well.

Made popular by southern Italians in New York city restaurants this dish is based upon old-world family recipes. Here I've adjusted it to two hearty servings.

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. It came out cheesy, sweet and tasty, but not too feeling heavy or rich afterwords, definitely a keeper!

My 14 year old said "pretty good" much better than a plain ham sandwich.

One skillet Chinese style beef and pepper stir fry. Makes a quick and easy all in one weeknight meal.

Excellent! Very authentic rendition of this classic soup. Very fresh and clean tasting with great flavor. It even beats the hot and sour soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant.
