Apple Pork Chop Casserole
Four stars as written, five stars with my tweaks. Instead of pork chops I used a 1.5 lb pork tenderloin that I cut into 6 pieces and pounded to 3/4" thickness. Much more tender and juicy! I seasoned the cutlets with salt and pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika before browing. I used Chicken Broth instead of water and doubled the stuffing ingredients but did not double the liquid. 3/4 - 1 cup of liquid was perfect for 3-4 cups of stuffing. I used Craisins instead of Raisins and a full can of soup. Very good flavor, and totally said "comfort food" which can be hard to accomplish mid-week! =) Will definitely make again!

Korean Marinated Flank Steak
Four stars as written, five stars with my tweaks! I made a 2 lb flank steak and knew that the marinade volume was way too much. I halved everything but the garlic and ginger, in fact I doubled the garlic and ginger! Also put in a healthy squirt of Sriracha for sweet heat. I also omitted the meat tenderizer, I don't think its needed if you fork your steak well. Marinade and steak went into my FoodSaver canister for 2 hours, but there was so much marinade that I couldn't bear to toss it! It went into a saucepan with 1/2 cup of water to tone the harshness of the soy sauce and raw onion, then thickened with arrowroot. Served the sauce with the steak at the table and it was a huge hit. I served it with an Asian style quinoa pilaf which was much more flavorful and healthy than rice. Dinner was amazing! I'll make this again!

Colorful Kielbasa
This was very good, but I tweaked it a bit. I sauteed onions and garlic along with the turkey kielbasa separately, then added precooked rice to the mixture and tossed it with about 2 cups of peas, then mixed it with the soup/water mixture before baking it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350* with the cheese on top. I rarely have luck cooking raw rice in a skillet and have it turn out correctly, so cooking the rice in my rice cooker while I was sauteeing the kielbasa, onions and garlic worked well for me and didn't take any additional time. I also used Healthy Request Cream of Mushroom soup and we loved the flavor! Definitely a great weeknight meal with ingredients that we usually have in the pantry!
