For our first foray into Rachael Ray's cooking, we tried "Sirloin Burgers with Mushrooms, Swiss, and Balsamic Mayo," "Thick-Cut Onion Rings with Spicy Dipping Sauce," and "NY Egg Creams." We loved the onion rings! I had never actually tried onion rings before, but the homemade ones were awesome. It made our kitchen look like a category 3 hurricane had come through, and definitely took longer than 30 minutes. Still, it was a tasty meal.
My favorite part of the burgers was the balsamic mayo. Accuracy is shot on the first day of the project because my mom forgot to check how much mayo we had before shopping. So, when we ran out of mayo, we went to ranch dressing. Then, when we ran out of ranch dressing, we went to sour cream. It was good, regardless. It added a great tang to the burgers, says my dear mother. 
You could say the egg creams were not our favorite. The mixture of chocolate syrup, half-and-half, and seltzer water ended up tasting like watery chocolate milk according to mom, and soda-fied, watered-down truffle centers according to me.
