Kung Pao Chicken

I could not be any happier with the way this recipe turned out. The flavor is simply wonderful. It was a very easy recipe to make, but better yet, this recipe exceeds the work you put into it. It taste like you worked much harder than you did. Another thing I like is that most of the prep work can be done the night before, then everything can be thrown together the next day...

Parmesan Chicken Strips

I really enjoyed this recipe. To my surprise, it has a very nice parmesan cheese flavor. I find that parmesan can be a tricky ingredient. Either it is too mild, and you can’t taste, or it’s so over powering that it takes over the meal. As for this recipe, it’s just right. You can taste the parmesan, but the chicken shines through equally. The only drawback to this recipe is...

@WomansDayTweets Recipe Idea for Leftover Rice

I really love this recipe. I hate having left over rice because it's such a waste, and I always make too much. I normally freeze it and find something else to do with it. Normally I use it to speed up cooking time by just pulling it out of the freezer instead of making more. In the last Woman’s Day magazine I got in the mail, they had an article with this recipe in it. It...

Allyou Magazine's Honey-Mustard Chicken

Served with Asparagus Casserole, and Steamed brussel sprouts I found this recipe in All You Magazine and had to give it a try.This is a great recipe, but I will say it is very sweet. If you do not like your food to be sweet, then this recipe is not for you. The chicken comes out very tender, and has a wonderful flavor. I typically do not like Dijon mustard, but in this case it...

Asparagus Casserole

When I initially decided to make this recipe, I was not sure if it was something my family would like or not. As for me, it reminded me of green bean casserole one of my favorite holiday staples, and now to add one of my other things asparagus… where do I sign up? This recipe was so super simple to make. I only used the tops of the asparagus because I have plans for the stems....

Runzas (Bierocks)

This meat pocket recipe is delish!! It's a German family recipe, and well worth the work. Now let me tell you about the work. This recipe is a total nightmare and a ton of work. I made the mistake of making them on a Sunday and not firing up my bread machine until 4 pm. Big mistake!! I recommend making the meat a day ahead so that the flavors can mingle. That is so important...

Ramen Noodles and All You Can Do! Who Knew?

I received an email the other day that sparked my interest. A reader asked me what she could make her family for dinner that cost little to nothing, but something she could make go along way. I don’t know about you, but this is something I think about every day. Every meal for me is on a budget, and some weeks run closer than others do. Ramen noodles are always a staple of...

Strawberries and Cream Oatmeal

Someone asked me the other day… “Why are you cooking with so many strawberries?” Well, the truth is, strawberries are the least expensive fruit I can find in the store locally. I can get a pound for .99 cents. You cannot beat that, and we really like strawberries. We are oatmeal eaters too, so I wanted to find a way to make my very favorite oatmeal, which is strawberries...

Onion Parmesan Roasted Red Potatoes

I want to thank the Dancing Cook for this recipe. I think I could have made 10lbs of these potatoes and we still wouldn't have had enough. The flavor is shocking to your tongue. Unless you know better you are not expecting theses potatoes to have such a great taste. This was voted a true winner in our house. Next time I think I would cook them even longer than suggested to...

Tangy Melt in Your Mouth Chicken Breast

I found a recipe through a recipe website that I found interesting. After reading about 100 reviews and taking everyone's suggestion and complaints into consideration I took the same recipe and tweeks it with all the suggestions and a few of my own. It turned out AMAZING the flavor is tangy, and vey rich. Everyone was raving about this delish bird. The chicken turned out...
