This chicken recipe was delicious and tasty. Although, quite messy and the chicken turned out a little tough. I did cook it a little over 30min, as I read 30min was too short. Next time, I will reduce it to 25min. I used natural breadcrumbs, oregano, paprika, pepper, garlic/onion powder, and parsley flakes. The breadcrumbs were really good, especially when crispy around the edges of the chicken. I was disappointed that I did not notice any taste of mayo. Next time, I will add more. Overall, good product.

Baked Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Mar. 4, 2009

I was very skeptical of this recipe since I was brought up on sugar and buttery sweet potatoes but I loved these! I used olive oil, salt/pepper, paprika, and sliced onion. I didn't have any oregano but they were wonderfully tasted! The onions were crunchy and the potatoes soft although I will add a hint of brown sugar next time. I will be making these for years to come. :)

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

Reviewed: Feb. 8, 2009

I am proud to be the 3,000rd person to review this product! I made the meatloaf with 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 3/4 cheddar crackers, fresh onion, salt and pepper and 90% lean ground meat. I mixed the brown sugar and ketchup together and put it on top. I put two pieces of bread underneath, like the reviewers suggested, to stop the grease. It was pretty mushy when I put it in the oven and I was nervous it wasn't going to come out right. About an hour and 16 minutes later, it was ready and it was good! The sauce on top was a little too sweet but the meat was moist and everything was delicious! My mom was impressed since this was the first meatloaf I have made. I will definitely be making this again. Although I will say this dish creates quite the mess in the pan...but most good foods do! Definitely worth trying, although I will not add so much sugar next time. I didn't even add all that much. Ketchup naturally does the trick.

Best Brownies

Reviewed: May 7, 2008

I followed the ingredients but instead added 1/2 cup of applesauce and 3/4 cup of sugar. It took about 30 min to bake and they definitely did not look as good as the profile picture! I was disappointed in this recipe...especially after all of these rave reviews on this recipe! These brownies were rich with cocoa but too cakey and fluffy. The best brownies I had was from my sister's bake sale. A friend of hers made these brownies that had sour cream in them and they were so moist and rich! These brownies do not compare to that recipe and even the box brownies taste better than these. This recipe was certainly healthier but just did not have that fudgey texture and taste. Disappointing...

Elaine's Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 18, 2008

When you initially bite into this cookie, you taste peanut butter but as soon as you chew--it is all cake mix. I am not a big fan of peanut butter cookies but I decided to make these for a friend's birthday. I used 3 eggs, milk, 1 1/2 cups of peanut butter and 1/2 cup of oil. They were in about 10 minutes. These cookies are good but I found the cake mix to be a little too overpowering. I actually thought I would not mind the cake mix before I made since I love cake--but it just does not have a strong peanut butter taste. My sister who is a very picky eater really enjoyed these so I guess it just depends. Not too crumbly and a good texture, I would just prefer something with more of a peanut buttery taste!

Candied Chicken Breasts

Reviewed: Apr. 3, 2008

Candied chicken breasts is a good recipe and definitely one of my favorites. I really enjoyed the aroma that this dish creates and all the different flavors combined is very tasty! I gave it 4 stars because I would have liked the sauce to be thicker. I added some cooking sherry wine to mine and it turned out great. I actually bought crushed pineapples which was actually very good! I meant to buy the chunks but the crushed work out very well! I did not fry and I baked the chicken for 45min -1 hour and it turned out very moist. I did not add any mustard. Definitely worth making...very easy to make. But I just wish the sauce was thicker! Perhaps I will add more ketchup and less water next time.
