I'm a stay-at-home mom of four very busy children. I never really learned to cook growing up, but with a gourmet cook for a mother-in-law, I do what I can to keep hubby from getting bored with dinner. When I have the time (which is less often than I would like) I really enjoy cooking and learning new things, but most of the time I am just looking for tried and true, easy and tasty dishes that will please our picky family of six.

Marinated Pork Chops
This recipe was super easy and very delicious! I followed the ingredients exactly, but used the thinner, boneless chops. I also marinated them in a FoodSaver container for a few hours, instead of overnight. While grilling, I used the extra marinade to baste. My family of six devoured them. I can't imagine them tasting any better, but I'll try the thicker chops next time, and marinate them overnight.

Sensational Sirloin Kabobs
I made this exactly as per the recipe, except that I tossed the veggies in some olive oil and garlic before threading them on the skewers, as some of the other reviewers had suggested. It was very good. Next time, I will make a few extra skewers with only mushrooms (I used small whole white ones) because they were amazing, and I'm not generally a big veggie fan. I could have eaten a whole bowl of them.

Wedge Salad with Elegant Blue Cheese Dressing
I really love this recipe, but I cut the blue cheese down to two 5 oz. packages, one for the dressing, and one to sprinkle on top. None of my four children liked it, but they are picky eaters and I think blue cheese is an acquired taste. As for myself and my husband, we really enjoyed it, and it would be easy to make the dressing up ahead of time and prepare the toppings to throw together at the last minute. I will definitely be serving this again, but probably to a dinner party the next time, where they will appreciate it more than my kids!
