Pistachio Crusted Chicken Breasts with Sun-Dried Cherry and Orange Sauce

Reviewed: Mar. 11, 2009
I hate to only give this 3 stars, because I think it has potential, and I think some of the problem was with me! First of all, I could not find shelled pistachios in my store, so it took MUCH longer than 20 minutes to prepare as I had to shell 2 c. of nuts! I also browned both sides of the chicken before putting it in the oven which I definitely recommend. I will say the chicken smelled great while it was baking. Now about the sauce...I would cut the amount of shallots in about half. That flavor was overwhelming. And this part was definitley my fault..we are not wine "common sewers" so the red wine I had was probably not very good. And I didn't use fresh orange juice (really, who has time for that?) So my problem was that I had a hard time getting the sauce to reduce and thicken. I turned up the heat and finally I just had to serve it b/c the chicken was done. The chicken did have a very nice flavor, I must say. I will probably give this another try with fewer shallots and better wine and hope for the best.

My husband LOVES this salsa. I made it for a party and now I end up making it every couple of weeks for him. It's super easy.

Jezebel Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009
This was not a big hit with my family. I thought it was tasty, although I didn't want to eat a whole lot. Also, it makes A LOT!! I wanted about double the cream cheese with this. I probably wouldn't make it again.

3-Cheese Mostaccioli Bolognese

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009
My family liked this! It tasts like lasagna, but is much quicker to make. I will add more zucchini next time. I also substitute cottage cheese for ricotta cheese

Barbecue Beef Cups

Reviewed: Feb. 17, 2009
This was easy to make, but it was nothing special. I'm going to try it again but use pizza type toppings instead. I like the idea of the doughy cup and think it could be easily adapted with better fillings.
