Iowa Pork Steak
This is a great go-to recipe for a busy night. Following the suggestion of another user, I made it in my crockpot - so good! The whole family loved it. Toss it all in the crockpot on high around noon and you'll have a perfect dinner ready by 5. I quartered 5 potatoes and put them on top so when the meat was ready I could pull them out and mash them. Delish!!

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna
LOVE this simple recipe. To make it even easier, I cooked 2 chicken breasts in a skillet with chicken broth (add a little flavor to the chicken) and used that broth for the cream sauce. After I poured off the broth, I shredded the chicken and added 1 pkg of frozen spinach to the chicken (it was a lot of spinach!) and let it heat gently in the pan with the chicken. I did add a can of diced tomatoes, for color more than anything. I recommend more garlic - I used 4 cloves in the cream sauce and tossed in 2 more with the spinach/chicken mixture. This recipe is easy and definitely a winner. Very easy to understand. The directions are very clear and produce fabulous results. Don't hesitate about trying this one!! Possible changes: Omit ricotta if you don't like it. Add the mozzarella here instead of mixing it into the sauce. Add portabello mushrooms or roasted red pepper. Myhusband said add pepperoni. I wouldn't advise it ;-)

Great Grandad's Sugar Cookies
I have mixed feelings about this recipe. I did have to use all 6 cups of flour, and even then it was too sticky to roll out, so instead of adding even more flour, I just dropped the batter onto the cookie sheet with two spoons. The flavor was definitely flat, so I added 1 tbsp vanilla, 1 tbsp butter flavoring, and 1 tsp orange extract(though I think almond would be better). I must admit, after adding additional flavorings, I ate 5 of them right off of the cookie sheet (oops). I am refrigerating the rest of the dough, hoping that it will firm up so it can be rolled out. Definitely a soft, cakelike puffy cookie. Definitely a keeper, but still looking for that perfect recipe...
