Allrecipes.com

[acagreene]

Just a quick plug for this website -- www.allrecipes.com -- is an AWESOME site. I started cooking a few months ago and I have found tons of great recipes there. The recipes are primarily submitted by the site's users. The best thing is that people review the recipes and give all kinds of great ideas on how they made the recipe more suitable to their taste or to show how they substituted one ingredient for another or whatever. It's fantastic. You can also do "ingredient searches" or search by meal types or cuts of meat or anything you can imagine. You can also set up an account and save your favorite recipes. I've probably made 30 or 40 different recipes from there now and have been pretty happy with all of them.

[beachlvr]

Allrecipes.com is one of my favorite sites, too. You can find a recipe for almost anything!

[bethnjim]

LOVE this site. I use it for all of my new recipes and I have used them for a bunch of desserts that I made for different parties. So far, every recipes I have taken to parties has gone over really, really, really well!!

[JamBray]

I love this site too, and have many recipes in my "book". :)

[Sposa06]

I love this place as well! I can't even remember how many of their recipes I've used, and everything has turned out great. One of my favorite features is that you can input how many servings you'd like to make and it will adjust the recipe for you!

[vmw774180]

I too am addicted to allrecipes.com. I don't normally use any other sites. I love reading the recipe reviews and how people changed them the make them better. I can't even count the number of recipes I use from this site and everyone gets rave reviews!!

[Rosebud]

Bumping up this old thread to ask a question....

Has anyone who uses allrecipes regularly ever submitted a recipe to them? I have a recipe box there and I write reviews & submit food photos and all of that. So, I finally decided to submit a recipe to them, which I did on January 2nd. It's now March 20th and the recipe is still labeled as "under review". Does it normally take this long for a recipe to be reviewed? :confused: It sure makes me think I won't bother to submit another one anytime soon.

[AmandaLeigh]

I submitted one once. It got posted on the site and put into one of the cookbooks, but I could not tell you how long it took.

[snowzilla]

I love allrecipes.com! I use it a few times a week - I don't necessarily follow the recipes to a "t", but I like seeing what spices to add to certain dishes, etc.
:)

[strwbrygirl]

I tend to go back and forth between AllRecipes & the Cooking Light website. Like others, I don't necessarily follow all of the instructions, but I've found a ton of recipes to use as a jumping-off point.

[Rosebud]

Just as a follow up, my recipe still hasn't been posted on the site. Who knew it could take this long?! :confused:

[KK812]

I submitted recipes one and two years ago and they continue to be listed as under review. I guess they don't accept all of them. *shrug*

[Rosebud]

Would anyone like to share the recipes from Allrecipes.com that they've tried and particularly liked? Even if you modified it.

Lambless Shepherd's Pie (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lambless-Shepherds-Pie/Detail.aspx)
Spanish Rice Bake (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spanish-Rice-Bake/Detail.aspx)

Rosebud, that Alaskan Salmon Bake looks awesome. I'll have to give it a try soon.

[strwbrygirl]

My favorite at the moment is Pecan Sandies (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pecan-Sandies/Detail.aspx). I switch butter for the margarine, and halve the amount of pecans mixed into the cookies, but otherwise follow the recipe. It's been a huge hit at family events!

[Rosebud]

Rosebud, that Alaskan Salmon Bake looks awesome. I'll have to give it a try soon.

It is SO good. It's my very favorite way to prepare salmon now. :)

[KK812]

It's Chili by George! (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Its-Chili-by-George/Detail.aspx)

I used to make the black bean chili that Rosebud posted. It's very good but DH & I like ours a little spicier than that is, so I tried Chili by George and it's so yummy! I made it for some friends of ours after they had a baby and they were dying for the recipe. We always cook with ground turkey breast instead of beef, so I subbed it in this recipe and it worked great.

American Lasagna (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/American-Lasagna/Detail.aspx)

I use half ground turkey, half turkey sausage instead of ground beef in this one, and light ricotta instead of full fat. I also add some extra tomato sauce to it because I like a lot of sauce in my lasagna.

Romano Chicken (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Romano-Chicken/Detail.aspx)

Haven't made this one in a while, but it is a quick fix and very good.

Grilled Potatoes and Onions (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Grilled-Potatoes-and-Onion/Detail.aspx)

So good and so easy..I use seasoning salt instead or table salt and EVOO instead of butter.

[Pineknot]

I belong to another board that only has 30+ members. We all use allrecipes and post reviews on the ones we try.

There are many good ones, but the ones below got two thumbs up from most of our members.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Hungarian-Mushroom-Soup/Detail.aspx - mushroom soup. The best one I've ever tasted, by far.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Greek-Chicken/Detail.aspx Greek Chicken. Grilled, it's fantastic

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Italian-Sausage-Soup/Detail.aspx Italian Sausage Soup. Tastes even better the next day.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Amys-Cilantro-Cream-Sauce/Detail.aspxCilantro Cream Sauce. This is the first thing I ever tried at Allrecipes and it is by far the best thing I ever made from the site. It is a great sauce for anything mexican...on salads, top of burritos, dip for chips, etc.

[jeanine]

I made these muffins Easter Morning. They were really good. I doubled the blueberries and used brown sugar in the topping instead of white.

http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/To-Die-For-Blueberry-Muffins/Detail.aspx

[SweetRed]

Don't be intimidated by the ingredient list. This is SO easy and SO yummy and you can add or delete vegetables to your liking:

Pasta Primavera Sauce (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pasta-Primavera-Sauce/Detail.aspx)

While these are easy, they are time consuming. Definitely a weekend meal when you're just around the house:

Easy Mashed Potato and Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Mashed-Potato-and-Roasted-Vegetable-Enchiladas/Detail.aspx)

Sooooooo good:

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Yummy-Honey-Chicken-Kabobs/Detail.aspx)

Also very tasty, and different because there's nutmeg in the sauce:

Inside-Out Manicotti (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Inside-Out-Manicotti/Detail.aspx)

I use others, but these are my favorites from All Recipes. I use Cooking Light a lot too.

[Kates]

I love using Allrecipes.com, here are a few of our favourites:

Anniversary Chicken (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Anniversary-Chicken-I/Detail.aspx)
I've been making this for a long time, it's a really good recipe for dinner parties

Chicken Enchiladas (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Enchiladas-II/Detail.aspx)
A family staple

Garlic Chicken (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Garlic-Chicken/Detail.aspx)
This is our new favourite, soooo good

Grandmother's Punch (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Grandmothers-Punch/Detail.aspx)
Good for showers and parties, I use less sugar than they call for.

Fruit Cobbler (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Fruit-Cobbler/Detail.aspx)
This is soo easy. I've used all kinds of fruit, even frozen strawberries and blueberries.

[Sadie]

I love that site! I get so many recipes from there. Here are some of my favorites:

Clone of a Cinnabon (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Clone-of-a-Cinnabon/Detail.aspx)--for bread machines. These are soooo good.

Spinach-Stuffed Chicken Breast (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spinach-Stuffed-Chicken-Breast/Detail.aspx) I omit the bacon and use monterey jack instead of pepperjack cheese.

Mixed Vegetable Casserole (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mixed-Vegetable-Casserole/Detail.aspx) I use frozen veggies and steam them before mixing it up, and I substitute cream of onion soup for the cream of chicken.

Buffalo Chicken Dip (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Buffalo-Chicken-Dip/Detail.aspx). I omit the Cheddar cheese and use cooked boneless breasts instead of canned chicken and serve with tortilla chips instead of crackers. DH is addicted to this stuff.

Baked Spaghetti (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Spaghetti-I/Detail.aspx)

Baby BLTs (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baby-BLT/Detail.aspx)

Easy Grape Salad (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Grape-Salad/Detail.aspx)

[Rosebud]

Sooooooo good:
Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Yummy-Honey-Chicken-Kabobs/Detail.aspx)

Yes-- those are great! I forgot about that recipe.

[Adaya]

My all-time fav recipe from the site:

Pecan Pound Cake (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pecan-Pound-Cake/Detail.aspx)

[MrsBeckyLP]

I like tilapia because it is easy and quick (and good for you), but no matter what I do, it always tastes bland. I found this recipe today, and I made it for dinner. DH and I both LOVED it. I will never make tilapia another way!

Broiled Tilapia Parmesan (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Broiled-Tilapia-Parmesan/Detail.aspx)

I used Miracle Whip Light instead of mayo, and I left out the celery salt because I'm out. You have to try this! So yummy!

I've had that one in my recipe box for ages but still haven't tried it. Thanks for reminding me that I should! Sounds delicious.

[Adaya]

I have to say that this is the only recipe thread where I want to try almost every recipe that's been posted. This thread rocks!!

[SweetRed]

One more:

Mock Champagne (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mock-Champagne-2/Detail.aspx)

This makes a GREAT non-alcoholic punch. And it doesn't taste too bad with a shot of vodka in there too ;)

Instead of making a big ring of ice, I make little "disks" using my muffin pan. Works just the same.

[vwinkel]

American Lasagna (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/American-Lasagna/Detail.aspx)

I forgot about this recipe and love it! I subsitute 1lb italian sausage and 1/2lb ground beef. Very good.

Buffalo Chicken Dip (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Buffalo-Chicken-Dip/Detail.aspx).
This another favorite of mine. I made it for DH's work party and two men asked me for the recipe! LOL! I love it with the Ritz Chips.

I made this last night and it was tasty! DH said that the recipe was a "keeper!" Thanks for posting!

[Sadie]

Bumping this up hoping for more good recipe suggestions!

I made Penne with Chicken and Asparagus (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Penne-with-Chicken-and-Asparagus/Detail.aspx) last night and it was soooo good.

[Rosebud]

I made this Key Lime Cake (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Key-Lime-Cake-II/Detail.aspx) recently and it was delicious! It tastes more like a lemon cake than key lime, so read the comments if you'd like to give it more lime flavor. I thought it was great just as a lemon cake.

[Rosebud]

I tried this Lemon Herb Chicken (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/lemon-herb-chicken/Detail.aspx) last night. It's a great weekday meal-- quick and easy to prepare. The flavors were very nice as well. The lemon and basil flavors are subtle but delicious. This dish is low in fat and calories, so bonus points for that!!

[Adaya]

I made this Key Lime Cake (http://www.thegablesinn.com/) recently and it was delicious! It tastes more like a lemon cake than key lime, so read the comments if you'd like to give it more lime flavor. I thought it was great just as a lemon cake.

This isn't the right link. It's to the Gables Inn. :)

I love love love any kind of lemon cake and want to give it a try.

[myshel]

This recipe, Banana Bread V (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Banana-Bread-V/Detail.aspx), is my favorite for making banana bread. I've made quite a few from allrecipes.com.

[Rosebud]

I fixed the link to the Key Lime Cake. Thanks for the heads up! :)

[Adaya]

I fixed the link to the Key Lime Cake. Thanks for the heads up! :)

Thanks. I just printed it and bookmarked it for safekeeping. It looks so easy; I can't wait to make it.

[Rosebud]

Okay, I stumbled across the greatest recipe on Allrecipes. Seriously, awesome. I'm not even going to spoil the surprise by telling you what it is... you gotta click.

GENIUS! (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Bachelor-Grilled-Cheese/Detail.aspx)

Funny b/c that's exactly how DH makes his grilled cheese. LOL!!

[Rosebud]

This is a good and very easy salmon recipe:

Maple Salmon (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Maple-Salmon/Detail.aspx)

[Jessica]

Spicy Cranberry Chutney (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spicy-Cranberry-Chutney-2/Detail.aspx)--great for Thanksgiving or just over chicken or fish.


Apple Raisin French Toast (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Raisin-French-Toast-Casserole/Detail.aspx)--got raves at my end of the year brunch at school. Imagine french toast over apple pie filling...yum!

[Rosebud]

Wanted to recommend another really good recipe:

Lime Chicken Soft Tacos (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Lime-Chicken-Soft-Tacos/Detail.aspx)

Very easy and tasty. :)

[lauren f s]

Rosebud, that was the first recipe I ever made for DH when we first moved in together. I still make it on a regular basis.

[mrschica]

If you're in the mood for something of the Asian persuasion that's super easy and very yummy, I recommend the following recipe with some steamed white rice and veggies of your choice!

Sesame Beef (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sesame-Beef/Detail.aspx)

[TOMama]

mrschica - That Sesame Beef recipe looks good. I just put it in my recipe box.

This is by far one of the better chicken breast recipes that I've tried in a while. The low heat, long cook time keeps the chicken moist, tender enough to cut with a fork. Very easy prep too-- Angel Chicken Pasta (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Angel-Chicken-Pasta/Detail.aspx)

[Rosebud]

Some more recipes I've tried lately and liked:

Grilled Lemon Chicken (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Grilled-Lemon-Chicken/Detail.aspx)

Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Downeast-Maine-Pumpkin-Bread/Detail.aspx)

[Rosebud]

More good ones I've tried lately:

Chicken Scarpariello (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chicken-Scarpariello/Detail.aspx)
Apple Betty (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Apple-Betty/Detail.aspx)
Whole Wheat and Honey Pizza Dough (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Whole-Wheat-and-Honey-Pizza-Dough/Detail.aspx)
Vegan Brownies (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Vegan-Brownies/Detail.aspx)

[Sposa06]

I'm actually using that whole wheat and honey pizza dough recipe again this week! I love it.

Also, it's terribly unhealthy, but the jalapeno popper dip is so incredible--I make it every time I can justify to myself eating something so unhealthy (but delicious)! It's perfect for parties and always gets devoured (which is why I now set some aside for myself before serving it)!

Jalapeno Popper Spread (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Jalapeno-Popper-Spread/Detail.aspx)

[steelcitymama]

mmmm, just scanned the whole thread and all the recipes look so good! i've used allrecipes on occasion, but usually stick with epicurious or cooking light. but all of these things sound so great, i'm going to be trying a bunch of them soon. thanks, ladies!

[steelcitymama]

i haven't made this yet, but it got awesome reviews. i'm making it tomorrow night & will let you know how it goes:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Creamy-Au-Gratin-Potatoes/Detail.aspx

i also made these cookies over the summer & they were delish....i'm so NOT a baker either and they turned out really well!
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Oatmeal-Chocolate-Chip-Cookies-I/Detail.aspx

i planned my weekly menu this week using a lot of the recipes on this thread - tonight is the broiled tilapia parmesan. we're looking forward to it!

Those potatoes are delicious! I know you already made them, but for others make sure you get the milk very thick before adding the cheese. It helps keep the sauce from getting grainy. I minced the onions and added garlic powder and cayenne pepper.

I made the tilapia this week and it's good, but my topping didn't get crunchy. Probably human error, though.

Here are the recipes I've tried recently. I think all are worth trying!

Jay's Signature Pizza Crust (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Jays-Signature-Pizza-Crust/Detail.aspx)
Blueberry Sauce (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Blueberry-Sauce/Detail.aspx)-Served on waffles
Baked Basil Fries (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Basil-Fries/Detail.aspx)-Very tasty, but they didn't get crisp. I'm going to make them again and adjust time and temp.
Buckeye Balls II (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Buckeye-Balls-II/Detail.aspx)-Needed a little extra peanut butter, and next time I'd add a little salt to cut the sweetness
The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/The-Best-Rolled-Sugar-Cookies/Detail.aspx) with Sugar Cookie Frosting (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Sugar-Cookie-Frosting/Detail.aspx)- The cookies needed some extra flour because they were too sticky. Besides that they were great.
Broiled Tilapia Parmesan (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Broiled-Tilapia-Parmesan/Detail.aspx)- Like I said, good, but didn't get crunchy.
Asian Orange Chicken (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Asian-Orange-Chicken/Detail.aspx)
Soft Oatmeal Cookies (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Soft-Oatmeal-Cookies/Detail.aspx)-Added cranberries

Sorry for any repeats of PPs. I don't have time to read the whole thread!

Anyone tried the Amish White Bread (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Amish-White-Bread/Detail.aspx)? Mine's rising right now but I don't think it's gonna turn out. :(

[steelcitymama]

KK812 - i agree, the potatoes au gratin were great! they turned out really well. a few days ago i also bookmarked the best rolled sugar cookies and the sugar cookie frosting, so i'm happy to hear those were good, too.

[Sadie]

Also, it's terribly unhealthy, but the jalapeno popper dip is so incredible--I make it every time I can justify to myself eating something so unhealthy (but delicious)! It's perfect for parties and always gets devoured (which is why I now set some aside for myself before serving it)!

Jalapeno Popper Spread (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Jalapeno-Popper-Spread/Detail.aspx)

I made this this weekend and it was soooo good!

[Sposa06]

Oh, yay! I'm glad you liked it! :)

[manda_kate]

I use allrecipes.com all the time for meals, desserts, everything. I think it's so handy how you can search by type of meal or cut of meat!

These snickerdoodles are delicious and ridiculously easy to make:
