"I ran out of vanilla extract and substituted in some almond extract in a chocolate chip/dried cherries/cashew/oats cookie. The results were phenomenal. I now seriously consider subbing almond for vanilla on every occasion that a recipe calls for vanilla. I don't do it all the time, but it's at least gotten me thinking about the flavor profiles." – foreverhungry

"It's two things, 'great results' and 'please make this again.' That's actually one thing, as great results lead to great make this again compliments. Time tested nostalgia? Sure. Reliable recipes? Maybe. Love, big time, definitely fits into the picture." – bushwickgirl on what makes a recipe great

"Sauté about 6 oz chorizo (in oil if it's dry), then add 1 chopped red onion and 2 or 3 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until they are soft. Add a can of diced tomatoes, a can of chickpeas, a little fresh or dried thyme, and a quart of vegetable stock. Simmer for 20 minutes or so, then stir in about 5 oz of fresh baby spinach. Serve with crusty bread. We call this 'Man Soup' because of the smoky, meaty taste. This is so easy you can make it after work and have it on the table in about 40 minutes." – Isolda
