Jim's Cheddar Onion Soda Bread
INCREDIBLE!! Now, I did make a few very minor changes because of what I had in the house, like using all purpose flour. I used dried white / green onions, I doubled the baking powder, and I used about 3/4 c. milk with vinegar in it to sour it. But all those substitutions are basic and should not change the flavor or texture much. This bread is AWESOME. It came together so easily! Puffed right up, took 5 minutes to throw together, and baked while I made dinner. Everyone loved it. I love that it uses things I normally have in the house and is so quick and easy, not to mention delicious. A winner for sure! I let my dough sit for 5 minutes on the tray before baking to help it rise, I don't know know if that makes a difference but it can't hurt. Definitely try this. Yum!

Parmesan Sage Pork Chops
YUM! I made this with thin cut chops and they only took about 7 minutes in the oven. Enough time to whip up some stuffing and steam some veggies and presto! Dinner was ready in 15 minutes flat! Plus it was really SO good. A nice change of pace and very moist and tender. We'll be adding this to the rotation for sure! Edited to add: I've made this several times now and it's still always great. I'd suggest always using thin cut, boneless chops for ease and speed. You can also add a dash of lemon JUICE to the egg if you have no zest, and I have used lime zest instead of lemon when I have none with yummy results too. (Plus, hey, lime for your drinks!) This is a really fab go-to recipe! Edited 5/21/12 to add: try this substituting 1/4c. corn meal for some of the bread crumbs! To DIE for!

Extreme Chocolate Cake
Wow! I have made chocolate cakes from scratch before, and they always turned out fine but... meh. Nothing that justified the extra work from making a box cake. This.. THIS! OMG. You've got to try it. My only complaint is that I can't stop myself from eating the entire cake (I couldn't even wait for frosting) this morning as soon as it got out of the oven, so just be warned it will come with like 10 extra pounds :) It's that incredible! Definitely my go-to cake recipe for every function now!
