Microwave Potato Chips

This is a fun recipe, but it is time consuming. You can only put so many chips in the microwave at the same time, or they will take forever to cook. Also make sure that your rounds are cut the same thickness, if not some will be over cooked, and some will be under cook. This recipe is great, but it take a long time to make enough for a family to eat. Ingredients:3-4 medium...

Old Fashion Corn on the Cob

The results of this recipe was a true delight. The corn turned out sweet and juicy, and it was easy too. Get your pot going, drop your corn in, and it’s done! Ingredients 1/2 gallon water 1/3 quart milk 2 tablespoons butter 1/3 teaspoon salt 1/3 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 4 ears fresh corn, shucked and silk removed Directions Place the water, milk, butter,...

This is a good recipe, but my biscuits seemed to turn out a little dry. They didn’t want to get done in the middle, then the outside seemed too done. Next time I plan on making them smaller so they will cook a little more evenly. The flavor is excellent. Ingredients 2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix 4 tablespoons cold butter 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated 3/4 cup cold...

Monterey House Candy

When I was a kid we ate at MONTEREY HOUSE often. I don't even think they are around anymore, but I have great memories of the candy they would give you after your meal. This recipe taste just like it to me!! Yummy! (some of my blopps are messy... I was in a hurry because it was getting too stiff! WATCH OUT) Ingredients: 1 c. brown sugar 1 c. white sugar 2/3 c. canned...

Scrumptious Chocolate Sheet Cake

The name of this recipe says it all. I have been making this since I was a little girl, and I just can't get enough of it. It's simple and sweet, and really doesn't cost a lot to make. Cake Ingredients: 2 Cups Sugar 2 Cups Flour 1 Stick of margarine 1 Cup of Water 1 Cup of Vegetable Oil 4 Tbsp of Cocoa Powder 2 Beaten Eggs 1/2 Cup Buttermilk (you can use regular or canned...

King Ranch Chicken Casserole

This recipe is incredible! I was trying to find a recipe close to one that a friend of mines mom would always make for pot luck Fridays. This recipe is exactly like hers. The flavor is amazing, and the smell while cooking is wonderful. We had enough for dinner and lunch with this one recipe it certainly goes a long way. If you are in the market for a freezer recipe...

I don’t know what possessed me to think I could or even should make my own French bread but I am sure happy that I gave it a shot! This turned out so good. It's quick and easy!! And unlike so many recipes this one actually taste like French bread. I love how easy it is. I put it in the bread machine, then roll, to the over, and bam! I have French bread! Thank...

Creamy Pepper Jack Chicken

This was an absolute delight for dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. It’s very tangy, and filling. The smell while it was cooking was incredible, and the taste was even better. The only thing I would change is next time I would serve it over a rotini. I was just out. I think it would absorbed the sauce less. If you don’t have chicken broth a nice white would be great...

Southern Fried Chicken (Paula Deen)

I was a little worried about this recipe because it calls for some much hot sauce, but what a shocker when you taste the chicken and you only get a mild flavor of the hot sauce, with very little heat at all. This is my favorite fried chicken recipe. It has a nice southern kick to it, which I love. I don’t think chicken has a lot of flavor, but this chicken pops...

Jalapeno Popper Burgers

These are sooooooooo good! Getting the popper dip to actually stay in the burger is a pain. Cooking, and eating the burger is very messy. I don't think I would add the popper sauce to the inside of the burgers next time I make them. I plan on spreading the popper sauce over the top of the burger, or even spread it on the bun. Then you can add as much as you want. It will be...

Bourbon Chicken

This recipe is just wonderful!! We LOVED it! I can't say enough about just how great this recipe is. The flavor is great, the smell while it's cooking is great... My husband always wants to eat this at a "Cajun" place at the mall food court. We don't need too now! We can just make it ourselves. If you have had this in the mall then you will relate to...

Bunuelos

At the Mexican restaurants I like to go to you can pay up to $6 for a dozen of these. I can make the for under .50 and they are just as good... This recipe is amazing!! Thanks Jessica!! Ingredients1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg 12 (8 inch) flour tortillas vegetable oil (for frying) Directions Combine sugar, cinnamon...

This is a fun variation of a banana bread recipe. Banana definitely takes a back burner to the citrus flavors. The lime, lemon, and the rum, are the flavors that pop out. The brown sugared coconut on top complete this bread. This is an excellent summer treat! Add a margarita and what more could you ask for? Ingredients: 2 tablespoons unsalted...
