I had a great pasta salad from Central Market last week and was looking for a similar recipe. I googled forever but decided on this one, and this is it! Great flavor. This is definitely going in the recipe bank.

Chili Rick's

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2010

my first time cooking chili and I won 2nd place in the firm cookoff. 4 stars only because I made quite a few modifications: used 1/2 the tomato sauce it called for, replaced one can of diced tomatoes with a can of rotel, added some liquid smoke, used Chappell Hill sausage (removed the casing and sliced), used kidney and black beans, and only used about 6 ounces of BBQ sauce

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 8, 2010

I followed this recipe exactly except I left out the chili beans. After reading the reviews I was torn about whether to use beer or chicken stock, so I used half beer (Dos XX)/half chicken stock. It was excellent! Had a great flavor and nice thick consistency. Can't wait to try the leftovers for lunch. I will definitely make this again (and again)! Thanks Patti!

Barbecued Beef

Reviewed: Jan. 5, 2010

I made this exactly as directed. After mixing the sauce I thought it might taste too ketchup-y, but it was delicious!! (My boyfriend had four sandwiches) No need to brown the meat first. I cooked it for about 9 hours, and then stirred it - the meat fell apart and blended with the sauce perfectly. Next time I will definitely double the sauce.

Chicken Spaghetti III

Reviewed: Aug. 19, 2009

5 stars for an easy weeknight meal. I used rotel instead of tomatoes/green chilis and omitted the onion. even better as leftovers the next day.

Greek Style Garlic Chicken Breast

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2009

this was great! I made minor changes: I halved the oil, added a little rosemary and extra lemon, I marinated for only 6 hours, served with feta cheese on top - and I baked in the oven instead of grilling. so good! I'm keeping this in the rotation.

Baked Zucchini Chips

These are delicious! The only change I made was that I added a little garlic salt to the bread crumbs. I will definitely make these again (and again!)

Aimee's Quick Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 19, 2007

Very good! i took the adivce of some other reviews and used 1/2 dijon mustard and 1/2 miracle whip. It turned out great! Although I can see how it would be a little too mustard-y if I hadn't used half mayo. The mixture of the mayo, mustard, and teriyaki, mixed with the bacon bits (I used real bacon bits, not those crunchy kind) was fabulous. And SO easy!!

Onion Pan-Fried Pork Chops.

Reviewed: Feb. 7, 2007

I added the 1/4 cup of bread crumbs as other suggested, and these pork chops ROCKED! I did have to cook them for much longer than the recipe said. I usually don't care for pork chops, but this recipe was great and I will definitely use it again.

Chicken Enchiladas II

Reviewed: Aug. 15, 2005

My boyfriend put it well: "Good, but it didn't blow my socks off". Very easy to make, and I followed some of the other advice; didn't use the entire can of soup and we used rotel instead of green chiles. It was ggod, but still lacking something. I will try it again and experiment. Also, we only cooked it for about 25 minutes.
