Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Reviewed on Jul. 6, 2009 by momma_s 
This is pretty close to the recipe I've been making for about 15yrs, but lost in our move... I increase the pretzel crust ingredients for a thicker crust as well as use butter pretzels instead of regular pretzels, and decrease the whipped cream for more of a cream cheesy taste and texture. I like to add blueberries for a "Red, White, and Blue" theme, and make on the 4th. Certainly a classic in my books!

Feta Chicken

Reviewed on Jun. 29, 2009 by momma_s 
I've made this twice now. I think it's easier to place the chicken in a ziploc for pounding (keeps the counter cleaner and prevents splattering). The 1st time I used plain feta and added dried basil and finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes. I also rolled the chicken in the bread crumbs (didn't measure). To help crispify (yea, I made that word up ;-) ) the breading, I sprayed with olive oil before baking. The 2nd time I used the pre-seasoned feta, and added panko crumbs to the bread crumbs (and sprayed). I liked this method better. Less time prepping, crunchier crust. I've served over pasta, and Greek salad. Great both ways.

Sarge's EZ Pulled Pork BBQ

Reviewed on Jun. 29, 2009 by momma_s 
I don't see how using coffee and beef broth makes this "BBQ." When I think of "BBQ," I think of either BBQ sauce or grilling... If sauce is supposed to be added to the recipe, it should be mentioned there, not in the description (IMHO). That said, the only part of this recipe I used was the coffee (and brewed it dark). I really liked that idea. I added the coffee to BBQ sauce, added thinly sliced Vidalia onions, used a 2.5 pound sirloin tip roast, and the meat tasted yummy. A tip: If you use tip or butt (hard to dry these out), and your meat turns out tough, try chunking the meat then putting back in your crock with sauce for 30-45min on med-high to high. This should help soften the meat enough for shredding.
