This is one of my favorite pasta preparations because of how tasty it is. That it's so simple, is just a bonus. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38556/farfalle-with-artichokes-parmesan-garlic-and-cream.html A simple mushroom pasta recipe from the Naked Chef, this preparation brings out the very best in mushrooms with a little garlic, lemon, and spice from dried chilies. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38554/mushroom-pasta.html These rhubarb squares make the most of this sour vegetable that, if you live in Minnesota, is probably growing, without any assistance, behind your garage. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38215/rhubarb-squares.html A flakey, buttery, sweet puff pastry flavored with almond extract. This is a fantastic sweet component of a brunch prepared for special guests. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38213/danish-puff-pastry.html Rustic looking apple pastry that's simply addictive; there's just something about the combination of this crust, the crushed corn flakes, and the sweet glaze that make this dessert out of this world. I like to use Cortland apples. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38210/rustic-apple-squares.html Delicious and elegant main dish sure to impress dinner guests.

These cookies are buttery, toasty, chewy, crispy, and sweet. The cinnamon candies are the icing on the cake. Kids adore them. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38194/christmas-wreaths.html I've presented the full-fat version of this recipe because it really is delicious and is sure to impress dinner guests. However, I've also had good results reducing the amount of butter and/or substituting lower fat milk for the half & half. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38181/byerlys-wild-rice-soup.html This is my favorite artichoke dip recipe. In my opinion, it has just the right balance of garlicky cheesiness. Consider adding a small can of green chilies. I've been meaning to try this, but haven't gotten around to it yet. http://www.grouprecipes.com/38173/spinach-artichoke-dip.html Say goodbye to soggy crockpot wings. Baking caramelizes this tangy marinade, making these wings irresistible even to those who usually spurn meat that resembles part of an animal (including me.) http://www.grouprecipes.com/38172/chicken-wings.html
