Lemon Garlic Tilapia
Easy and good. Looking to dress up tilapia a little differently and this recipe fit the bill. Like other reviewers, I did use fresh parsley -- not a big fan of buying a whole bunch of parsley and use so little, but I can't deny the taste of fresh ingredients from dried. I think this is one of those recipes you can easily modify to fit your tastes; overall, it provides a nice foundation for making tilapia.

Cola Pork Chops
Like most of the dishes I cook, I was attracted to this recipe because of its simplicity and the great ratings by members. I mixed together and marinated the chops for a couple hours, I grilled our chops. The chops were moist and juicy but the marinade reminded of the market brand OPEN PIT BBQ sauce [that my parents used years (and years) ago and that I did not like back then]. It's a decent recipe but I do not think I will be using it again.

Barbeque Pork Two Ways
I read the reviews on this one and took a detour. I really did not have time to mix the ingredients listed in the recipe, so, after reading other reviews, I took a chance and just mixed equal parts of Sweet Baby Ray BBQ sauce and Ketchup; about 1 cup each. Brushed it over the meat and crossed my fingers. That's it. Left it for 7 hours [no peeking], turned it off and let it cool a bit. The pork shoulder fell apart & was so tender. I shredded it and mixed with the sauces that had brewed in the crock pot all day and let it set a little longer. I added a dash or two of coarse salt. I am telling you it was amazing. Actually, I could not believe it was that good since I had modified the recipe -- plus, it was even better the next day. My only footnote is that the sugars in the bbq/ketchup burned a little on the sides of the crock pot, but there was still enough sauce to mix with the meat. My picky husband absolutely loved it.
