Baked Apricot Chicken

Reviewed: Dec. 22, 2010

This was VERY DELICIOUS! I took the advice of some other reviewers and used chicken legs, Catalina dressing, a little chili sauce, a little dry Italian dressing,a dash of dry mustard and the onion soup mix! YUM-O! The sauce was very close to a homemade barbecue sauce. It's so versatile that you can make it as sweet and/or spicy that you like. I couldn't find pepper jelly at the store I was in, but I want to try making it with pepper jelly next time. My husband, 2.5 yr old and I loved this. My husband commented that this will be a good sauce for snack wings. We def will make this all the time from now on. BTW, I made it with Zatarain's Yellow Rice and French cut green beans seasoned with the rest of the dry Italian dressing. These sides complimented the chicken nicely. Please try this recipe.... It is good and not too sweet at all! Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.

Easy Corn Salsa

Reviewed: Oct. 12, 2010

I made this last night and my family and I LOVED it! We love to eat at Chipotle restaurant, so I made the chicken and steak bowls that they serve. My husband made the remark, "you've got Chipotle beat with these bowls!" My two year daughter (I made some without the jalapeño for her), ate without her spoon and licked her hands clean! LOL! That made me feel soooo good! Thanks for a grrrrrrreat recipe! ;- D

Waikiki Meatballs

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2010

Like other reviewers, I made some changes. I did bake them in a 350 degree oven for 25 mins, made the sauce on the stovetop and placed it all in a crockpot for simmering. I'm not a huge fan of "sweet" food, so I omitted the pineapples in the simmering process. I doubled the sauce (except for the brown sugar- only added 1/4c.). I added sliced carrots, 3 cloves of fresh sliced garlic and coarsely chopped onions to the sauce. I served it over brown rice and had fresh steamed green beans as a side item. My husband and 2 year old daughter loved it! I liked the meatball part of this recipe again, but not the sauce. I will make my own sauce or use someone else's sauce recipe from this site.

A Southern Fried Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 1, 2009

I made this last week for my husband wo LOVES my mom's fried chicken. He ate it, but did not say he loved it like he does my mom's. I HATED IT! I switched hot sauce for the bbq sauce like the suggestion of another reviewer. That didn't help it taste better. There was so much "batter" you could hardly taste anything of the spices. It was also VERY MESSY! I will not make this again and will just stick with my mom's recipe.

Hamburgers and Ketchup Gravy

Reviewed: Jan. 28, 2009

I made this for my husband & I last week. My husband is a huge ketchup fan, so he just ate the gravy alone after all the patties were gone (I made a little extra gravy for this reason). I added 2 cloves of minced garlic, slices of green bel pepper, 2 beef boullion cubes to the gravy & a beaten egg to the meat mixture. The flavor of the meat was really good & they were extremely moist. I guess I need to add more bread crumbs or take the suggestion of another reviewer and soak the bread in milk before mixing with the meat. My patties were a little "loose". I handled them gingerly so they wouldn't fall apart, but some pieces did manage to fall off the patties. I served them with homemade mashed red potatoes & broccoli. My husband was in love. I will definitley make it again. Thanks for an quick & easy weeknight recipe.

Garlic Shrimp and Pasta

Reviewed: Jan. 27, 2009

I made this last night for my husband and he LOVED it! I sauteed 1 chopped onion, 2 extra cloves of garlic, a handful of sliced mushrooms and the shrimp in 2 tablespoons of butter (you could use EVOO to make it a little healthier, but butter tastes soooo good). I removed that from the pan before mixing the ingredients for the sauce. Then I added the onions, garlic, mushrooms and shrimp back to the sauce and let them simmer together for a few minutes. Then I tossed with hot thin spaghetti noodles. With those few modifications, it was delicious and not too dry. I served it with a tossed salad and garlic bread. YUMMY! It will definitely be a keeper for my family.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Dec. 3, 2008

This is a very good meatloaf recipe (after some modifications). I took the suggestions of others. I reduced the milk to 1/2c, the brown sugar to 1/4c, added another clove of garlic, onion soup mix to the meat instead of the chopped onion, and putting the glaze on top instead of in the bottom of the pan. I also added a kick to the glaze with 1 tsp asian chile paste. It was a good blend of sweet and spicy! It also makes very good meatloaf sandwiches. Thanks for the recipe and the suggested modifications.

Chicken Marsala with Portobello Mushrooms

Reviewed: Aug. 14, 2007

I made this recipe last night and my husband and I loved it! I will say the browning sauce was hard to find (because it didn't clearly state what it was). The flour totally threw me off like most. At first I ended up with a mashed potatoes lokking flour mess. I had to go back to the grocery store and buy more flour, broth & garlic (because I had just enough for one time). I didn't use Kosher salt. I used Lawry's instead (sparingly so it wouldn't make it to salty). I used it with egg noodles and a salad! Marvelous with a little tweaking!
