Buttermilk Pancakes
Recipe by Jean Kressy Everyone knows that the simplest recipes are sometimes the most satisfying. So it is with these Buttermilk Pancakes - easy to make, easy to eat. Our light and fluffy hot cakes may be the ultimate comfort food, perfect for gatherings of the whole family. In fact, since we introduced them in our March 1992 issue, Buttermilk Pancakes have been popular with many Cooking Light staffers and their kids. Try topping these hot cakes with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or jams and jellies.
Champion Chicken Parmesan
Recipe by Karen Levin "The October 2000 cover recipe for Champion Chicken Parmesan looked so good that I had to make it right away. My husband raved about it being delicious all the way through dinner, saying it was like something you would get in a restaurant." -- Anna, Perth Amboy, NJ We agree with Anna, and guarantee this to be one of the best chicken dishes you've ever tried. For a sharper cheese flavor, try Asiago or provolone in place of mozzarella.
Chiles Rellenos Casserole

Cinnamon-Apple Cake
Recipe by Greg Parent When we first tasted this cake by Contributor Greg Patent for our October 1997 issue, we knew that we'd hit culinary gold. That's why we've chosen it as one of our all-time favorite Cooking Light recipes. Cream cheese in the batter gives the cake lots of moisture. In fact, it's so tender, you'll need to use a serrated knife to cut it.
Creamy Caesar Salad With Spicy Croutons

Filet Mignon With Mushroom-Wine Sauce
Recipe by Elizabeth Taliaferro >>> Dabble a robust sauce on filet mignon, one of the most tender cuts of meat, and dinner can be downright sublime. Which is why we’ve included Filet Mignon With Mushroom-Wine Sauce, from our March 1995 issue, in our all-time favorite recipes. Dry Cabernet Sauvignon enhances the earthiness of shiitakes in the sauce; thyme adds depth. Preparation is simple and quick, which is good because you’ll want to make this impressive recipe again and again. While its 39 percent fat content might seem high, the 10.7 gram total is less than you'd get with a tablespoon of oil or butter. For an elegant and well-balanced meal, serve this with a vegetable and wild rice or some other delicious, carbohydrate-rich side dish. And don’t forget to pour yourself a glass of the remaining wine. >>
Fudgy Souffle Cake With Warm Turtle Sauce
Recipe by Elizabeth Taliaferro >>> This glamorous dessert might look fussy and complicated, but Fudgy Souffle Cake With Warm Turtle Sauce is no prima donna. Making this intensely chocolaty treat couldn’t be simpler, and you probably have most of the ingredients on hand. No mad dash from oven to table is required; just bake, then serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Since the recipe debuted in our January/February 1997 issue, our food editors have made it often for TV demos--despite the ease of preparation, it has a wow charisma that’s right at home on the stage. But you don’t need a stage--you need a fork. >>
Is it Ripe Yet?
If your pears aren't quite ripe, place them on the kitchen counter in a brown paper bag, checking them daily. It may take 3 to 5 days for them to fully ripen. If the neck area yields to gentle thumb pressure, the pear is ready to eat or to cook in desserts, pancakes, and even meat dishes.
