Grandma's Corn Chowder
Excellent - even my teenage son, who was badmouthing it before he tasted it, had two bowls! In fact we ALL did! I made just a couple tweeks: * Used chicken broth for water - as many have suggested. * Added 2 T. butter * Used 1% milk (that's why I added the butter) *Accidently dumped too much pepper in, but, the end result was a nice peppery/spicey kick. Will do that again! Easy and a good dinner with crusty bread and a salad!

Butternut Squash and Turkey Chili
This was very, very good. I served it at a football gathering as a healthier alternative to the regular chili - those who chose it, loved it! I made a couple small tweeks to make it more picky teen friendly - After the browning of the turkey, I added just the spices (including the addition of 1/2 T allspice) and simmered for maybe 5-10 minutes, this made the turkey meat look like ground beef. I also chopped the butternut into more like 1/2 - 3/4 inch chunks. Very good!

Crispy Orange Beef
I doubled this recipe for my family of four - following the recipe exact. I wanted leftovers for lunch the next day....well, I had to beg for them to leave leftovers. They ate 3/4's of it and were still licking the plate. Great recipe - tonight I'm going to try the sauce as a glaze for green beans as a side to chicken. It's a great sauce! As a warning to messy cooks, my kitchen was a disaster from the frying (which I rarely do). I had grease splatters EVERYWHERE - maybe I fried it on a temp too high , plus I wasn't using a wok, just a frying pan.
