This was the best spaghetti sauce I have ever tasted. I have revised the recipe to use Ground Turkey and Turkey Italian Sausage instead of beef and pork. Hope you like it.

Spicy Chicken Peanut Pasta (Sauce)
Very Good 4.6/5

This recipe is from "Clueless in the Kitchen" by Evelyn Raab. This delicious chicken peanut butter sauce was originally meant to be served over pasta, but it's also great over rice or Thai noodles.

I can't get enough of this easy recipe; it's ready in 15 minutes!The still-runny egg yolk adds a creaminess to the sauce and perfectly mixes with the spinach.

"This recipe was wonderful! Probably one of the best I have tested!" Chef Meg really didn't have to change this recipe very much. It certainly gets her stamp of approval though! She did increase the serving size.

Shelley's Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas

Roasted Garlic & Feta Mushrooms with Runny Egg
Very Good 4.9/5

I know this one sounds a little strange, but give it a try; it's a great source of protein. The sweetness of the roasted garlic pairs really nicely with the feta, and the egg yolk binds all of the flavors into one cohesive package. If you're squeamish about undercooked eggs or can't eat egg yolks, this probably isn't the recipe for you as I've tried it with the egg cooked differently and never found it as good.

Adds protein and nutrients to your salad without adding a lot of fat! Only about 16 calories per 2 tbsp serving, compared to 30-50 for store bought fat free ranch dressing. And at least 4x more protein.

Spicy CrockPot Thai Chicken
Very Good 4.8/5

This is one of my family's very favorite dinners. One of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to adjust to your own tastes. I entered it in with my true ingredients, which are SPICY! If you don't like it super spicy, adjust your ratio of Sweet Thai chili sauce (found in the grocery store asian food section) and the spicy Sambal Oelek (found in the same section). Try 1/4 cup of sambal oelek and 3/4 cup sweet chili sauce. Also very good with skinless chicken thighs, trimmed. I just ordered PB2 and am looking forward to trying it with this recipe, to cut the fat back even further!

Crook's Corner Shrimp and Grits
Very Good 4.5/5

The late Bill Neal has influenced young chefs across the South, and diners still enjoy his inspired recipes at this landmark restaurant in Chapel Hill. Executive chef Bill Smith has added some creative touches to the menu, such as Warm Goat Cheese Salad With Roasted Beets and Pumpkin Seeds and Hangar Steak With Bourbon Brown Sauce, but Shrimp and Grits is still a Crook's Corner classic.
