White Chocolate Raspberry Cookies

 


Photo source:  Better Homes and Gardens

"Pulled from our archives, these best-loved cookies are reminiscent of thumbprints with their raspberry jam centers. White chocolate in the dough (and drizzled on top as a pretty finish) gives the cookie a rich creamy flavor and ethereal appearance designed for Christmas or Valentine's Day parties. To transport these sweets, place them in a container in a single layer to keep the tops picture perfect and smudge-free."  Comment from Better Homes and Gardens

Raspberry and white chocolate sounds awesome!

Meatloaf with Brown Gravy - Two Versions

 

Photo source:  Sip and Feast

This is my favorite type of meatloaf and the thought of comfort food really sounds good.  I have not made a meatloaf in years and since I can't find most of my recipes due to hurricane stacks of boxes and files, I am on a mission to find the best one I can find.



VERSION 1

"Meatloaf with brown gravy is comfort food at its very best!  This meatloaf is incredibly moist and loaded with flavor from ground chuck, fresh thyme, garlic, and onion, and is topped with a brown mushroom gravy that just takes it over the top.  Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans, and use the leftovers for meatloaf sandwiches the next day."  Comment from Sip and Feast.

"Meatloaf is surprisingly easy to make and great for a family meal. This recipe is a classic meatloaf recipe but you could also use this for one pound meatloafair fryer meatloaf or onion soup meatloaf with the gravy."  Comment from Food Lovin Family

"We tried several versions of this recipe, including one with double the amount of baking powder. And while the biscuits turned out puffy and beautiful, they ultimately were too dry. So, we tweaked the baking powder amount along with the butter and buttermilk and arrived at these beauties — flaky, golden, tender and moist, just as biscuits should be."  Comment from Food Network Kitchen

Banana Bread for One

 


Photo source:  Recipe Girl

"Banana bread can be quite addicting. And what I mean by that is that if you make an entire loaf of banana bread, you cut a slice and keep going back for more because it’s so good. That’s okay if you have plenty of people around to share your loaf. But sometimes you just want a little taste without having a big loaf at hand. And that’s why having a recipe for a mini loaf is so great. Keep it all to yourself, or share it with a friend!"  Comment from Recipe Girl

This one is perfect for me!  Thanks to Lori for this recipe!!

Two Banana Bread

"The texture of this banana bread is never dry. It turns out to be super light, tender and moist. Sometimes I even cut down on the oil and use 1/4 cup oil and 1/4 cup applesauce instead of using a full 1/2 cup of oil in the bread."  Comment from Recipe Girl

Love the variations!

Chicken And Corn Chowder

"Chicken and corn chowder is just what you'd hope: creamy, a little spicy, and filled with lots of great bacon flavor. The corn is sweet and fresh, even if you need to use frozen when it's no longer corn season. You can sauté diced fresh poblanos with the onion and garlic instead of using canned green chiles if you prefer. Sautéing the veggie base in bacon fat is a flavorful (and no waste) way to build flavor."  Comment from Southern Living

Sounds like a delicious chowder!

Lemon Pound Cake Muffins

"Making regular cakes into personal-sized cakes, like these lemon pound cake muffins, is a fun way to manage portions and create snack-sized treats for lunchboxes or the office. These mini cakes get a light lemony glaze that makes them more of a dessert than a breakfast muffin recipe (though if you eat these in the morning with coffee, we won’t tell anyone). They last well in or out of the fridge, and they can be dressed up with fruit and whipped cream or eaten as a simple little cake. These pound cake muffins are ideal for bake sales, potlucks and road trips—just about any time you need a hand-held treat."  Comment from Taste of Home

Lemon cakes, muffins, etc. are one of my favorites!  Love this recipe.

"Turtle Pie doesn’t get any better than this: It has an Oreo crust, salted caramel pecan layer, and a thick chocolate ganache layer covering it all! This pie will remind you of those Turtle candies – the ones with pecans and caramel and chocolate – it’s an EPIC pie recipe!"  Comment from Crazy For Crust

Sounds like a delicious winner!!!

"Put your slow cooker to the test with this classic creamy potato side dish. We added a little bit of flour to help thicken and stabilize the cream. Keeping the potatoes thin is the secret to this recipe's success try using a mandoline to slice them evenly."  Comment from Food Network Kitchen

Crab Rangoon Casserole

 


Photo source:  Better Homes and Gardens

"If your takeout order always includes crispy crab rangoon, why not turn your favorite app into a full meal? This twist uses crispy wonton chips, springy egg noodles, plenty of green onions, and melty cream cheese to mimic the crunch and tang you love in a traditional crab rangoon. We typically use imitation crabmeat, but you could certainly use the real thing for an elevated take."  Comment from Better Homes and Gardens

Yes, I often order crab rangoon and love it!  This recipe looks like a winner and I will try to make it soon.
