Jenny's Grilled Chicken Breasts

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2010
I chose to make a marinade out of the ingredients. I doubled the dried parsley and used 2 teaspoons of seasoning salt. I pounded the breasts down, placed them in a Ziplock with the marindade, and left them in the fridge for about 6 hours. The lemon flavor was fresh and intense.

Strawberry Trifle

Reviewed: Jun. 12, 2010
My husband called it "strawberry shortcake on steriods". I omitted the bananas and used real which cream (in lieu of frozen whipped topping). Delish!

Best Marinated Grilled Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 8, 2010
The instructions provided on cutting/butterflying the bird were perfect. I never thought it could be so easy! The marinade was good, but not worthy of 5 stars. (The left-over chicken made some killer chicken salads the following day.) I'm anxious to try this cooking technique with other marinades and spice rubs. Keep a close eye on the grill. The marinade is oily and can really get the fire going. Oh, and be prepared... the seasame oil is a little expensive.

White Chili with Ground Turkey

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010
Amazing, perfect chili. The taste is reminiscent of regular chili yet wholly different at the same time. It's sublime. Use a high quality/flavorful broth (so important with all soups and chili). I added an extra can of beans and cut the cinnamon in half. A perfect meal regardless of the weather. Try it, you'll like it :-)

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010
This recipe exceeded my expectations. They were soft and tender with a hint of a background crunch (provided by the oatmeal). Glorious. I used 100% real butter (no shortening for this girl), and regular whole oatmeal (instead of quick-cooking). At 15 minutes they'll appear "undercooked", but remove them from the oven with confidence and let them rest/set. They'll be perfect...

Baked Honey Nut Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 30, 2010
If you're in the mood for something sweet and crunchy (yet warm and tender), give this a try. The leftovers make fantastic chicken caesar salad.

Baked Chicken with Applesauce Stuffing

Reviewed: Mar. 16, 2010
I'll make this dish again because of its convenience/ease, but the satisfactory stuffing flavor only rates 3 stars. I sauteed the onion and celery beforehand (with a few sliced carrots I had hanging out in the fridge), and assembled the rest of the dish as directed. After one-and-a-half hours in the oven at 375, the chicken was bordering on overcooked. Still, this dish fits nicely into a busy schedule (quick to assemble and frees up your time while it's in the oven), and healthy enough to earn a reappearance on my kitchen table.

Pico de Gallo Chicken Quesadillas

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2010
I mardinated the chicken (for about 4 hours) in half the Pico de Gallo, and used the remaining Pico de Gallo as a topping (along with sour cream and guacamole). I used drained/fire-roasted canned tomatoes in lieu of fresh, and omitted the green bell pepper. Yum :-)

Guacamole

Reviewed: Mar. 14, 2010
I followed this recipe to a "t" and yep, this is the perfect guacamole. Smooth, rich, flavorful... it's awesome.

Italian Vegetable Soup with Beans, Spinach & Pesto

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2010
I was surprised how quickly this soup went together -- I had it on the table in about an hour. I mixed a healthy dose of pesto in with the soup (rather than using as a dollop/topping). I cut the potatoes into large dices so they would hold up to freezing/reheating. I'll definitely make this soup again.

Barbecued Beef

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2010
Yep, this is good BBQ beef. The meat is tender and flavorful, and very easy to shred. My daughter gets especially excited when I make this dish (which makes me feel a little guilty because it's so easy)! I make it as directed, but usually add 5 or 6 tablespoons of honey for a little background sweetness. This beef freezes well, making it perfect for a quick/on-the-fly dinner or lunch.

Laura's Quick Slow Cooker Turkey Chili

Reviewed: Mar. 13, 2010
This was pretty good chili; I'll probably make it again. I browned the ground turkey, onion, and garlic on the weekend, then threw it all together one morning before work. I only used 1 can of tomato soup, and replaced the 2nd can with a can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes.

Braised Balsamic Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2010
What an easy, delicious dish! I cut each breast into 3 pieces, and pounded them down to about 1/2" thick. I used fire-roasted canned tomatoes and high quality balsamic vinegar. I served this chicken with some seriously good/seasoned mashed potatoes and steamed spinach. YUM!

Grandma Ople's Apple Pie

Reviewed: Feb. 15, 2010
Wow, what an awesome recipe! I poured roughly half the "sauce" over the apples before applying the lattice top, and the remaining sauce on the lattice top itself. I cooked this pie apx. 20 minutes longer than recommended. This pie is absolutely perfect.

Caesar Hot Artichoke Dip

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2010
This appetizer goes great with cold beer and good friends. Just what I was looking for! I used fire roasted diced/canned/drained tomatoes, and served the dip with Triscits. Yummy!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2010
Oh, happy days. An easy, tasty slow cooker soup (a working girl's best friend :-) I used raw diced chicken, fire roasted tomatoes and fire roasted (thawed) frozen corn. I cut corners at the end and topped the soup with pre-made tortilla strips (designed to top salads). I am happy to add this soup to my quick-n-easy dinner arsenol. Thanks for the recipe!

Half and Halfs

Reviewed: Feb. 13, 2010
What a fun cookie! I added nuts to the chocolate chip side (only) to increase the contrast between the two halves. I rolled each half/color into a long snake (similar to the way you may have made/rolled Playdough snakes when you were a kid), then put/rolled the two cookie snakes together to combine them into one long half-n-half snake. Then, I sliced them (just as you would store-bought tube cookie dough) and baked 'em up. There were beautiful, different, and tasty. I will definitely make them again.

White Cheese Chicken Lasagna

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2010
This was a fun dish to make. Wow, it's rich. I added extra veggies (sauteed carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower), and I'm glad I did, because it helped cut down on the richness a little bit. I used whole wheat lasagna noodles and ground turkey. My family loved this lasagna; they were extremely excited about it. I thought it was very good, but not worthy of a 5-star rating.

Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2010
This recipe is very easy to throw together before work -- I truly appreciate that. Add some warm pasta, a simple steamed veggie, a little green salad, and dinner is served. This isn't a dish to rave about, but when you need to put dinner on the table night after night, this is a decent meal to have in your arsenal.
