Nutty Goat Cheese Bites
I loved these, especially while I was making them for my family's holiday gathering. Unfortunately, they taste better right after the bread is toasted. My family was hesitant to try them and I had a lot left over.

Lemon Pepper Shrimp with Mustard
This turned out much better than I expected. I used Jack Daniel's Horseradish mustard and Sauvignon Blanc wine and the dish had such a lovely wine and spice kick that I wish I had had some crusty French bread or rice for the remaining sauce. Incredible!

Family Casserole
My boyfriend and I really liked this recipe. I took into consideration all the reviewers' suggestions and it came out wonderfully. I added an extra cup of cubed chicken and an extra cup of rice. I used about 2 cups of fresh steamed broccoli and 1 cup of fresh sliced mushrooms. I used one can of cream of mushroom soup and one can of cream of chicken soup. I left out the water chestnuts and the celery because they just don't do it for me in a casserole. I sauteed the onion and mushrooms then added all the other ingredients, adding shredded Colby cheese only after it was in the baking dish and ready to be baked. Again, I'm very pleased with how this turned out. My only wish is that I had something crunchy to top it off at the end. Maybe French fried onions?
