"This dip recipe is a cross between a baked brie in pastry and a more kid-friendly cream cheese log. The result is elegant enough for entertaining, but the bacon and ranch flavors mean kids will love it too. Once you master this easy recipe, experiment with other flavors: garlic-sautéed mushrooms, or curry paste, if you are hosting adults." Comment from Food Network

"It's easy to make classic focaccia at home. Our version is airy and slightly chewy, with a delicate golden crust. A drizzle of salt water over the dough during the final rise gives the bread a deeper flavor." Comment from Food Network Kitchen
Focaccia is not a bread that I have made before, but from checking out the recipe, it looks like it is much like making ay other bread. I would love to make it!

"This old-fashioned pie is filled with rich, creamy custard, then capped with a cloud of toasted meringue and a generous sprinkling of sweet coconut flakes. It tastes as if you pulled it straight from the dessert case of your favorite diner, only better." Comment from Food Network
Coconut Cream Pie is one of my favorite pies and I used to make it all the time. My recipe is somewhere in my files and I will post when I find it. Food Network's recipe should be outstanding as most of them are.

"This slow-cooker recipe transforms your favorite classic appetizer into a warm, communal dip that’s perfect for any gathering. Simply combine the ingredients and let the slow cooker do the rest. The rich, irresistible dip is great for scooping with crispy wonton chips, crackers or your favorite veggies." Comment from The Food Network Kitchen
Slow cooker meals used for parties are good since you can keep the item warm in the cooker as the serving bowl. Love crab rangoon, so this dip should be awesome.

"Can something be impossibly light while also being incredibly rich and decadent? Apparently so. This coconut cake is majestic in its height and a beauty — a flurry of tangy frosting, sweet shredded coconut and tender cake. It will truly put all other coconut cakes to shame. The bar has now been set." Comment from Food Network Kitchen
It has been a long time since I've made a coconut cake and it is one of my favorites. Love that this one is all made from scratch and cream cheese frosting is always a good thing.

Slow cooker recipes are awesome even for retired people at home all day like me. It is just more convenient. Take all those simple ingredients, put them in the cooker and walk away. And it freezes well. This recipe is for me since I have never had corn chowder and I love everything that goes in it.

I would make this entire recipe and freeze what I don't have in one or two meals. My thinking about cooking and what to cook has got to change since I am cooking for one again.

"Cashew chicken is one of those menu items that you’ll find at most Chinese or Asian restaurants, but you don’t always have to enjoy it as take-out. It’s easy and quick to make yourself at home. There are no traps or pitfalls between you and a restaurant-quality dish." Comment from Taste of Home
What a treat it is to prepare a favorite meal from one of your favorite restaurants. It is also important to make your own variations to the recipe.

"Using frozen puff pastry dough instead of biscuits makes strawberry shortcakes so easy to prepare. It’s one of our favorite ways to use fresh strawberries. The flaky, lofty layers in puff pastry desserts look impressive and add a bit of extra textural contrast to the fresh whipped cream." Comment from Taste of Home.
Awesome twist from the traditional biscuit base, but I love everything puff pastry, nice presentation too.

Alexandria asks the question "Why make this recipe?" . . . my answer is just look at the photo and remember all the times you sat at the kitchen table with oreos and a glass of milk as a child. That feeling is why!

"This is a ‘dump’ type cobbler. You basically layer everything in a 9×13 inch pan. I don’t recommend cooking it in a smaller pan.
Sounds good to me!
