Instant coffee in the batter intensifies the chocolate flavor. Beating the sugar and eggs together gives the baked brownies a crackly surface.

An easy slow cooker recipe that the family will enjoy!

Submitted by LOSER1231

A sure family favorite, make the night before and pop into the oven.

This was an excellent member-submitted recipe that required very few tweaks. I reduced the oil to one tablespoon, added more herbs and left out the salt. I also added another vegetable: zucchini.

This dish was surprisingly filling. I recommend serving it with a side salad for a vegetarian meal. (You'll never miss the meat!)

TIP:
Use small eggplants--the larger they are the more bitter they are.

This recipe makes quite a bit, so you can take half of the remaining chicken mixture and sauce and make soup. See "sour cream chicken enchilada soup" that I also submitted.

This recipe has a number of components, but all can be made ahead, particularly the tomato puree and the white sauce. You can substitute 3 (8-ounce) cans of tomato puree for the homemade tomato puree. You can also use a grill pan to prepare the vegetables indoors.

A great side dish that complements any entree.

Roasted chicken is a simple and versatile protein. Use it in soups, throw it on pasta or pair it with a simple salad. Tip: Save time and energy by roasting two chickens at once and freezing one (carve it first).
NOTE: Save about 125 calories and 11 g fat per serving by removing the skin.

A tasty variation on the traditional popper. My hubby likes these for superbowl sunday. You can also vary the recipe by adding 2 -4 T fat free sharp cheddar shreds to the cream cheese mixture. Also you can use panko crumbs for a crispier coating. Make these at least once before serving to company, as it takes a knack to get them to come out nice looking.
