I hated cream corn.....never liked it as a child, teen, or adult. I had the task this past Thanksgiving to do all the cooking(I still get chills thinking about what a task that was...LOL)and cream corn was a request. I thought to myself YUCK but I was also well aware that cream corn is key for the turkey day meal.

 I came across this site and found a wealth of great recipes and information for the seasoned cook. I looked around to see what the site had to offer and happened upon a recipe(below)for cream corn. Although it looked easy I still was not up to the task of trying out a first time...

I love AllRecipes.com for many reasons.  Here are just a few:

1) Many recipes to match any request!  I just searched for recipes that contain Tuna and Elbow mac and received 11 results!  That may not seem like a lot, but it is for those two specific ingredients.

2) I can search by ingredients!  As I did above!  Today I realized we had a lot of Elbow mac, and I was in the mood for Tuna, so I can actually search for these ingredients and find recipes containing them.  It's so much easier than looking in a book trying to find something that matches.  I can also search by Ingredient's I DON'T...

When I was a kid, my mother planned her menus for the full month and wrote them on a calendar hung on the fridge.  Fast forward two decades...I can build mine on allrecipes.com.  Allrecipes.com is a multi-layered site:  in the most basic use of the site, you can search their site for the title of any recipe.  Want to get more specific?  You can search for ideas based on ingredients you do and don't want for your dish.  if your pantry looks like mine, full of random cans that I can't think of a use for, all you have to do is type in the choices you have, and the site identifies recipes that...

I love this website, as busy as I am its so stressful to come home from a long day at work and decide what i'm going to cook, so all I have to do is go to allrecipes.com and search, if its a casserole I want all I have to do is type casserole in the search box and viola you get tons of casserole recipes. You can save all your favorite recipes into a recipe box. You can also create a shopping list of all the ingredients you need and print it out.

How simple is that!!!!

This is a great free website for anyone who loves to cook.  I love to use cookbooks, but sometimes it takes forever to find the perfect recipe, especially when you are not sure what you are looking for.  AllRecipes solves that problem because it has a recipe for almost anything.  It is easy to find what you want, because you can search by the ingredients you have or what you want to use.  I like it because you can customize your searches for specific diets like vegetarian or gluten-free.  I found a great recipe for chocolate cake, make that over 100 tested recipes for chocolate cake and it... review »

     After I got married I decided I needed to learn how to cook.  I have always love to be in the kitchen with my mother and sisters, but anytime I tried to make anything, it never turned out.  I loved to cook, but I was just not good at it.  Until I found Allrecipes.com.  I was hooked at this point.

     There is a lot of variety on Allrecipes.com.  I like how it is so simple to look for recipes, and I do like the fact that you can read reviews from real people who have tried them to know if they do or do not work.  It's really nice to know if you need to add a little more or less...

I stumbled across the site about a year ago when trying to find new recipes.  I'm one of those experimental cooks so I'll try anything at least once.  It has been the main source for filling my personal cook book ever since.  Recipes are submitted by people just like me. The site allows others who have tried a recipe to not only rate it but offer suggestions to improve it.  In my opinion the reviews make this site.  You can take the original recipe and ideas from each review and make your own unique dish.  I've turned out several restaurant-quality meals right from my own kitchen thanks... review »

I started using All Recipes and it is all I will use now to find recipes I am looking for. Users submit their recipes and All Recipes will figure up the nutritional values based on the ingredients used. User rate the recipes after they try it so you wont get stuck making something that isn't any good. Users upload their pictures of the recipe so you can see what it looks like after it is made. Let me tell you some of them look professional made and look soooo delicious!

As I am a cook in real life (restaurant and home), I refer to AllRecipes.com ALL the time. I'm also a reviewer there. (same username as here). Generally I'll start searching by rating, but the top rated are certainly not the only ones I use.

Be sure to read the reviews from the members. They're nearly all experienced cooks, and offer great tips and tweaks to the original recipes.

AllRecipes.com. Good stuff!

Having just paid for a supporting membership at Allrecipes, I am very pleased with the features and I will be maintaining it.  Everything functions as they said it would.  I can created modified private recipes off the posted ones  quickly and easily and save  to my personal cook books.  They also offer blogging and I have found the ability to have a community with that very nice. 

The offer private cookbooks for free to all members unlike other sites which require you pay for them and also included is the ability to enter your own personal recipes and save.  Navagation is easy. You also...

I don't consider myself the world's greatest cook, or even adventurous in the kitchen. That's why I like AllRecipes.com so much. They have recipes for cooks at every stage of development, from the beginner to intermediate, to the more experienced chefs out there. Sometimes if I have certain ingredients (say, chicken and mushrooms) and want to find a recipe to incorporate both, I just go in to the search box and type "chicken and mushrooms" and up pops 10 to 100 recipes with chicken and mushrooms in them! I can scroll down to see which ones fit my needs the most. Reviews by other members also give... review »

This is a great site to help clean out your pantry (what am I going to do with all that leftover pumpkin from Thanksgiving?). I love the "ingredient search" feature that lets you specify up to 6 ingredients that you want to use, along with items you don't want to include. That's especially helpful when cooking for guests with food allergies.

Since discovering this site, I've nearly stopped consulting my own cookbooks except for a few old favorites. This is so much faster and easier! You can print the recipes in several formats and automatically adjust quantities and measurements. The reviews are...

The BEST peanut butter cookie recipe ever and many more!!  You can find anything here, either by title or by ingredient searches, where you can specify those that you want and those that you don't.  The quantity of the item can be changed, and PRESTO the ingredient list adjusts the amounts!!  Always check out the reviews - some recipes aren't highly rated, so skip them and find a better one by clicking on a similiar one listed on the top left of the screen.  Some great tips or variations can a.so be found in reviews.  Pictures are real and sent in by real people.  You can submit recipes and... review »

I use this website ALL the time.  After using Food.com to find new and familiar recipes, I couldn't be happier that I found AllRecipes.com.  All I do is type in what dish I want to make and then sort the results by rating.  I have NEVER tried something on there that had a 5/5 that wasn't amazing!  Find recipes that have been rated a perfect five by over two thousand people - it's sure to be a winner!  I've also never searched for something that wasn't on this website. 

This site is a life-saver (and a food genius)!

Allrecipes is so many things rolled into one. It's a social network of foodies and a great resource for the casual cook as well, as userd share,download and review recipes from the kitchens of other users, their Mom and Grandmoms. Allrecipies is an indispensible resource for cooks seeking trusted recipes, entertaining ideas, everyday and holiday meal suggestions, practical cooking tips, and general food advice. It allows the user to store recipies and individually customize portion sizes. It's a lifesaver and it's fun!
