Marinated Baked Chicken Breasts

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2011

This dish was overall pretty good. It had a really nice flavor. I did use breast halves and not whole breasts so I think 1 hr 30 min was a little long for the cook time. My chicken was a bit over-done and somewhat dry. Otherwise, it was good. I did have to double the cracker/seasoning mixture because there was not enough to coat all of the chicken. It was gobbled up by the young men in my house though!!

Suzy's Mashed Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2011

I actually enjoy when people give alternatives that they tried or suggestions for changes to the recipe. No one has to take their advice but i'm glad they're there, they've helped me quite often. I made these mashed potatoes and they were very good!!! I followed the recipe close but also added some crushed garlic like other reviewers. I actually mashed these in my crockpot and then turned it on to keep them warm. My family went back for seconds and thirds!!! My aunt suggested adding some ranch dressing instead of, or in addition to part of the sour cream to make these potatoes more appealing to the younger crowd. Her young sons liked that!!

Honey Roasted Red Potatoes

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2011

Yum! I made these potatoes for dinner along with two other dishes from this site (Salmon with creamy dill sauce and parmesan asparagus). A delicious, quick and easy meal to prepare after work! I realized (last minute) that I didn't have any dry mustard so I replaced that with crushed red pepper flakes to give the potatoes a sweet & spicy flavor. It was excellent! I recommend trying it if you are a fan of a little "kick". Also, my potatoes needed to bake much longer than the time given. I used about 10 small-mediumish potatoes and they baked for nearly 55 minutes before they were done. Excellent recipe and definitely a keeper!

Parmesan Asparagus

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2011

Made this for dinner along with two other recipes from this site (Salmon with a creamy dill sauce and Honey Roasted Red Potatoes). What a delicious, quick and easy meal! Prepared it all when I got home from work :) My asparagus were average thickness and needed to cook longer than the 12 minutes stated, I baked them for approx 16 min and that was perfect. Yummy side dish!!!

Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce

Reviewed: Feb. 25, 2011

This was really great!! I made this for dinner along with two other recipes from this site (Parmesan Asparagus and Honey Roasted Red Potatoes). It was a yummy and easy dinner to cook when you get home from work!!! I added a little bit of garlic powder with the onion powder and that was perfect! Next time, I might decrease the sour cream SLIGHTLY. It was just a little too strong in the sauce but not strong enough to keep my family from eating it all! Definitely a keeper!

Green Pepper Pork Chops

Reviewed: Dec. 21, 2009

This was a good dish and it was very easy. 40 min is definitely too long to simmer... I had three chops and simmered for about 20 minutes and that was plenty. The green peppers were a little too soft so next time I may wait to add those until a little later. The browning sauce was not needed and I seasoned the pork with garlic salt and johnny's seasoning. Yummy Yummy. Served with a baked potato and a salad :)

Pan-Seared Tilapia

Reviewed: Dec. 10, 2009

Just made this for dinner tonight. It turned out great. My family and I thought it was a great way to prepare tilapia. My filets didn't need 4 min per side. I only had them on each side for approx. 2 min. Paired this with a green salad and it made for a great, easy and quick weeknight dinner.

Teriyaki and Pineapple Chicken

Reviewed: Nov. 15, 2009

I have made this twice now and loved it both times. We eat it over Chow Mein noodles. I am a vegetarian so I make a portion of it without the chicken and my boyfriend eats it with the chicken. It is excellent.

Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Oct. 13, 2009

I just made these cookies and they were great!!! I read the reviews before I made them and I did add just a splash of vanilla and a teaspoon of baking soda. Those helped with the yummy taste! I did the criss cross fork pattern on the top and sprinkled with sugar. I made 12 cookies and had to bake them for close to 15 minutes because they were slightly thicker than normal. They turned out great! A big hit!
