Whiskey Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 21, 2012

I doubled the sauce, poured some in a container and the rest joined the chicken in a zip bag; both spent the night in the fridge. Later discarded the zip bag of marinade, browned the chicken to a slight blush of brown and baked in the oven @ 350 for 30 min, using saved sauce as a baste. I also used a trace of sauce to simmer mushrooms, diced red and green peppers. Add the veggies to a compliment of your favorite pasta and dreamy creamy Alfredo sauce really sets this dish among the fine restaurant ranks.

Sherry Sour Cream Chicken

Reviewed: Jan. 26, 2012

A good call I made was to search for and find a totally different brand butter and cooking sherry than what I'm accustomed to getting. If you're low on sour cream--add in 1 and half cans Cream of Chicken / Mushroom soup. Don't worry when you take dish out from oven and see sauce separation between it and butter. Remove chicken from baking dish onto a serving platter, and scrape clean ALL the sauce from the pan into a small saucepan and whisk or blender stir the sauce. THIS is where you can also adjust slightly more sherry, rosemary and/or thyme to suit your taste. The family didn't leave leftovers---that earned the 4th star on this one.

Mushroom Sauce Baked Pork Chops

Reviewed: Nov. 11, 2011

3 to 4 tablespoons of fresh drippings from a 5-star brand BACON in the skillet is perfect for browning BONELESS pork chops and PAM is great for use in the oven pan. No potatoes? No problem: I used one can each of Cream of Mushroom AND Cream of Potato; another excellent call! Double or triple the sauce and you can use Angel hair pasta, regular spaghetti or your favorite pasta shell types. When using BONELESS pork chops--watch your time / temperatures; the result should produce impressively tender chops that do come out tasting like a fine restaurant dish!

Sloppy Joes

Reviewed: Sep. 19, 2011

If you love Hunt's Manwich sloppy joes and like putting A VERY CLOSE COPY of it from scratch, then this IS your recipe ( I skipped the brown sugar touch )! I was expecting a recipe that would come out being more interesting in taste than Manwich; it was OK--but nothing to excitedly rave about, which explains the 3 stars given.

Southwest Stuffed Chicken

Reviewed: Sep. 8, 2011

I spray a glass baking dish w/ PAM before anything. With LARGE flattened chicken breasts, I add 1can of Ro-Tel diced tomatoes/green chilies, 1 can drained whole kernel corn...and 1 package of prepared Rice A Roni "broccoli cheese" rice in ADDITION to shredded cheese. I soaked wooden toothpicks in water for...say...20 or so minutes, just to be safe. And after about 15 min in oven--covered dish w/ foil to keep crust from burning. Don't fret if filling oozes out; kids loved seeing that--and enjoyed this dish, too! A definite keeper that may earn that 5th star very soon!!

Super Fast and Easy Chicken a la King

Reviewed: Oct. 11, 2010

Try putting ingredients in slow cooker and have them wait wile you pound the chicken breasts flat, trimming out the fat, cut in cubes and browning them in heated oiled skillet. Placing slightly browned chicken on a paper toweled plate is suggested before they go in the slow cooker. Let it ride on 4-hour High setting. Add a frozen bag of mixed veggies halfway through cooking. Goes very good with Minute Rice. Your discovery of your perfect ingredient tweak combination will add more rating stars to this good recipe!!

Weeknight Pork Chops

Reviewed: Sep. 13, 2010

I set the oven for 350 degrees. After browning the chops, I dipped each one in the glaze, placed in a glass bake dish and covered the dish for 15 minutes, then removed the cover for an additional 15 minutes. This allows for thorough cooking, giving the glaze the right consistency: not too soupy--and definitely not burnt. Overall, this is a fresh breeze change from the old fried / baked pork chop dish--one that offers lightly nice hints of sweet strawberry glaze flavor.

Fried Sweet Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 18, 2009

I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes--but I made this dish for my family who does love them...and the kitchen smelled GREAT!! It's the same time-honored recipe my mom served us back in the 70s. My wife and son are my toughest food critics--and both RAVED how yummy the sweet potatoes were. I sampled a few and have to agree: This is a keeper.

Pork Chops with Mushroom Onion Gravy

Reviewed: Oct. 16, 2009

Suggestion: Try cream of....asparagus in place of the cream of mushroom--it works decently. Brown the chops well--and lightly brown chunk diced onions as well..really helps out well. Overall: My dish kept the troops content--and saved me from a stay in the dog house. Next time, I'll do per directions and maybe earn another star. Watch for my update on this yummy recipe!!

One Dish Bourbon Chicken

Reviewed: Jun. 28, 2009

First try per directions: Something went wrong!! NO BOURBON FLAVOR!! I let the browned garlic/onions soak in the bourbon/chicken stock mix while browning the chicken. Perhaps the olive oil blocked out the bourbon; allowing it to evaporate while cooking?? I dunno. I'll look at some other suggestions, try this again--and hopefully solve the mystery and give this recipe a better star rating.

Bourbon Chicken

Reviewed: May 26, 2009

Triple the sauce amounts and pay attention to taste; add or reduce certain ingredients to get exactly what you want. Try this several times, using different whiskey brands: You might be surprised to find lesser known brands do far better than popular ones. It wasn't just "Fridays" at my house--it was the whole sweet fun weekend on just one family dinner night at my house!!

Pork Chops with Tangy Honey Sauce

Reviewed: Apr. 9, 2009

1st try at this recipe: I strictly followed instructions--and didn't find anything "tangy" or "honey" about this dish. When I think "tangy", the word "sweet" comes to mind--and I don't find much "sweet" in apple cider vinegar. Perhaps a good sub for apple cider vinegar might be needed; I suspect there's volume misbalances between it and the soy sauce--maybe even the ginger too, for that matter. I'm not ruling this one out; ingredient experimentation with this recipe will be done and I'll hopefully promote more stars with this dish soon.

Grilled Peanut Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2009

Strictly following recipe instructions gives this dish a restaurant quality taste: two thumbs up for Chandra6!! Don't let not owning a grill stop you from making this tasty dish!! Make the sauce and simmer it on stovetop for about 30 minutes; adding just enough soy, garlic or water to get that right taste / texture. Make enough to baste chicken, pour over fetticiune noodles AND spare some for dipping. If you are out of curry--try "atom smashing" some red pepper flakes in the food processor and use enough for your tastes. Definitely am going to try crunchy peanut butter the NEXT time I make this dish!!

Baked Spaghetti I

Reviewed: Feb. 26, 2009

Family didn't praise this dish much--but they didn't complain about it. Following exact recipe instructions, the oregano / Italian seasoning flavors came out, but I had a sauce quantity issue;doubling the tomatoes my next try fix things-and promote this rated dish to 4 stars.

Herb-Crusted Chuck Roast

Reviewed: Feb. 2, 2009

1st time: 3 stars. Mistakes I made: Used a deep roasting pan instead of more shallow glass baking pan. Subbed Marjoram and rosemary for savory. Also used Italian bread crumbs. Although I measured per recipe, I likely didn't add enough of what I used to begin with, so improvements on that are noted. This dish just didn't wake up anyone's taste buds with way I made it. I intend to try again next time using glass baking dish and subbing savory with thyme IF I can't get savory. I'll also add more of recipe ingredients, noting meat weight and note details when I update this rating; hopefully I'll add more stars to this recipe.

Quick Creamy Potato Soup

Reviewed: Jan. 11, 2009

Excellent tasting soup-deserves the 5 stars! I got this down to a science, where cooking time is a sweet snap. I chop up the potatoes, enough water to cover and cook them while I'm cooking the bacon AND fresh chopped onions! I also have standing by the open cream of chicken soup cans, milk, dill weed and a cup and so shredded cheddar cheese. I'm convinced area ALTITUDE is the key to the watery soup concern. I'm in New Orleans area-and I didn't have to drain my potatoes. I threw in a cup and so of shredded cheddar cheese-and still had to add a dash more milk to slightly thin the soup. Great soup idea for a cold winter's day!!

Marinated Pork Loin

Reviewed: Jan. 1, 2009

First time making this and got the restaurant quality taste!! With no ketchup on hand, I successfully subbed with a can of fine quality tomato paste and made two batches of marinade per directions. One batch marinated meat; the other, I added chopped onions and put in seperate bag; set both in fridge for 24 hours. With oven at 375, I non-stick sprayed roasting pan, placed meat in and discarded meat marinade. Every 30 minutes, I'd check meat temperature and used second marinade batch to generously baste meat till done. The result? Great tasting pork, complimented with a tangy, spicy sauce that drew 5-star comments from the fam!!

Cola Onion Pork Chops

Reviewed: Oct. 14, 2008

Fast, easy: The fam and I all LOVE this recipe!! I added freshly minced onions (just enough to lend flavor body)--and WOW!! I had restaurant quality chops! I found this recipe model works with chicken, too--and I'm even thinking of trying it with steak as a possible marinade.
