I've made this the last two Thanksgiving and it is DELICIOUS!! IT cooks up so beautifully and is sweet, but not overly. Can't wait to Thanksgiving day this year! I usually brine my turkey the night before.

Easy Garlic Broiled Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 16, 2011

Wow! This was amazing!! We used Olive oil in place of the butter because of milk allergies in our family. It was delicious even with the substitution. I took others recommendations and baked it for 40 minutes at 375* in the sauce and then placed it on a cookie sheet (without the sauce) and broiled it for 10 minutes each side. Then I dipped it in the sauce, put it on a platter and sprinkled a little more parsley on it. We used the sauce to mix into the rice I served with it. So delicious! I'm glad this is in our monthly rotation!

Curried Honey Mustard Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 12, 2011

This was DELICIOUS! We used 1/3 c. olive oil, because we have milk allergies in our family, so when I can, I avoid making 2 separate dishes! I also used Spicy Brown mustard instead of Dijon, simply because that was what I had on hand. We served it with some "Spicy Rice" - Rice cooked with chicken broth instead of water and a little curry. We had some carrots and green beans too. We put it in our monthly rotation we loved it so much!

Such a quick and easy meal and SO delicious! We only use 2 chicken breasts, and serve it over rice with a side of green beans and mix it all together.

Pretty Chicken Marinade

Reviewed: Apr. 2, 2011

Followed it to a T, but it made the chicken tough, it was too salty and just not very good in our opinion. We won't make this again.

Oven Roasted Potatoes

Reviewed: Jan. 31, 2011

We just made these tonight and WOW were they delicious!! I followed the directions, with the exception of exchanging the marjoram for sage because that was what I had on hand and chili powder for crushed red pepper to have a milder heat for my kids. We will be making these again and again! Another plus, besides the taste, would be that these were so quick to throw together. I made them with Idaho potatoes, and left the skins on. Try them - they don't disappoint!

Chicken Lo Mein

Reviewed: Oct. 27, 2010

This was way better than I expected it to be and very easy to make! I added more sesame oil than it called for, and sprinkled it with sesame seeds, but other than that, I followed the recipe to a T. IT was delicious!

Country White Bread

Reviewed: Jun. 30, 2010

We love this bread. I always get 3 loaves out of it. Since my husband likes more of a whole wheat bread, we use 1c. rye, 1 1/2c. wheat flour and 4c all purpose flour. We use it as sandwich bread and love it!

Mmm-Mmm Better Brownies

Reviewed: May 5, 2010

My children are lactose intolerant and this is by far the best dairy free brownie - or home made brownie for that matter - that I've come across. We followed the recipe to a T and it was delicious!

Hamburger Vegetable Soup

Reviewed: Mar. 17, 2010

Easy and delicious. I used 8 c. water and 4 tsp. chicken bullion, used carrots instead of celery and frozen peas and canned corn instead of mixed veggies(all I had on hand.) I also used those tiny bow tie noodles that you use in turkey noodle soup instead of elbows because that's all I had on hand. I added about 2 TBSP of chopped garlic too.

Banana Oatmeal Cookie

Reviewed: Feb. 19, 2010

These were a hit! I followed the recipe mostly but made the following changes: 1.) I didn't have eggs, so I omitted it and added 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder instead. 2.) I used 1 tsp. Cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. allspice - no nutmeg. Mine baked for about 11 - 13 minutes. Yum!

Some changes I made were: 1.) diced tomatoes with onions and garlic, not chilies 2.) chicken bouillon instead of beef 3.) omitted the celery 4.) 1/2 tsp. pepper 5.) 1 tsp. garlic powder to the meat 6.) added 2/3c. tiny bow tie noodles during the last 30 minutes of cooking. I made a few homemade biscuits to go with the meal and served them with honey and butter. Yum! Delicious meal!

South Georgia Biscuits

Yum! We followed this as is, but we used 1% instead of whole because that was what we had on hand. Easy to make and delicious to eat!

Banana-Orange Muffins

Reviewed: Jun. 22, 2009

I thought I had a lot more bananas than I had, but it turned out, I only had 1. So I used one banana plus 1/2c. pumpkin. I didn't have plain yogurt, so I used peach yogurt. And on top of that, I thought I had orange peel, and I didn't, I only had lemon peel! and lastly I didn't want to waste eggs, so I used whole eggs, not only the whites. So lesson 1 is check the pantry first! I guess they are more of a Banana-pumpkin-peach-lemon oat muffin now....but even with all of these modifications, these muffins were delicious!!!
