Garlic Cheddar Chicken
Pretty darned good, easy and quick! Great for a weekday meal. My 11-year old picky daughter even had seconds. That, in itself, says a whole bunch! The chicken was extremely moist, tender and loaded with great flavor! The cooking time was absolutely perfect. And, boy does it make a HUGE difference when you pound your chicken breasts (usually I don't):P Also, definitely for garlic lovers -- we are, however, my daughter woke up the next morning and said she still tasted the garlic -- oops!

Burgundy Pork Tenderloin
Okay, I give this a 4 1/2! On Saturday, made the Daria's slow cooker beef stroganoff from this site (which is outstanding), for my son and his girlfriend -- absolutely NO leftovers for me and my daughter!! So I pulled out a pork tenderloin and let it thaw for Sunday's meal. I was somewhat hesitant to make this because of the mixed reviews but it seemed like such an easy, elegant "Sunday" meal and I had all the ingredients! Boy am I glad I made it! It smelled delicious when cooking! I followed the recipe but used a bit more Lawry's seasoned salt for the pork and more pepper. The wine did not evaporate completely and I had plenty of liquid to make the gravy. The cooking times were right on the money (the pork does continue to "cook" while resting on a plate while you make the gravy). I used a whole packet of brown gravy mix as written and just some flour to thicken the gravy to our liking. The pork was so tender and juicy, the celery added a wonderful flavor and crispiness to each bite and the gravy, while I could see it would be salty for some tastes -- was excellent! This is a keeper and I will make again. Even my fussy 11-year daughter liked it (and she really dislikes all meat). Okay I made it more kid friendly by serving it with the ever popular mac and cheese -- but even that went well with this meal. Thank you, Kathleen, I will also make this for our family gatherings!

Daria's Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
When I say good, I mean good -- thank you so much for this posting -- first time I EVER made beef stroganoff and my son actually said it was better than his grandma's!!!! Absolutely delightful, moist, tender meat, I did season meat with Lawry's season salt and only used 1/2 the sour cream (the wine really does "sour" it up a bit). Thank you again -- I WILL make this again and again!!!! Oh, served it on thick homemade noodles -- absolutely divine! Note: What's stroganoff without green olives? I added about 3/4 cup sliced green olives with pimento.
