Broccoli Chicken Divan

Reviewed: Dec. 14, 2011

This was very good. I also made a couple of tweaks. First I used shredded chicken. I also added a 1/2 cup of sour cream as others suggested. Instead of bread crumbs, I topped with French's fried onions. I served this over rice.

Chicken Breasts in Caper Cream Sauce

Reviewed: Jul. 19, 2011

Very good and easy to make. I didn't have any lemon pepper so I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, and dill. I sauteed the chicken in olive oil instead of butter. I de-glazed the pan with lemon juice, added the cream, some garlic, and capers and put the chicken back in for a few minutes. I served it with mushroom risotto. My 5 year old declared the chicken "delicious".

President Ford's Braised Eye Round Steak

Reviewed: May 15, 2011

This was okay. The flour coating came off in the sauce while simmering. I also did not have Burgundy wine or consomme and used the red wine I had and bullion/water. I simmered the beef for an hour, but it could have gone for longer. It was nice to have something a little different. I may try this again using the correct ingredients.

Sage Pork Chops

Reviewed: Mar. 8, 2011

Great, easy dinner. I sprinkled salt, pepper, and sage on each side of the chops, used olive oil instead of butter, and used one reduced sodium bouillon cube. I also only had 3 boneless pork chops, and reduced the simmer time and still could have pulled them out earlier. I added water/flour to make a thicker gravy and served over egg noodles. Even the 4 year old liked these. We eat pork chops 1-2 times a week and will be adding this to the rotation.

Berdean's Cube Steak

Reviewed: Mar. 6, 2011

I haven't bought cube steak in years but picked some up recently at my husband's insistence. I used 2 low sodium beef bullion cubes, 2 cups of water and half on an onion sliced. I only cooked the steak for about an hour, then removed from the pan. I added flour/water and thickened the gravy even more. We had mashed potatoes with it. Dinner was great! This one is a keeper. My husband is happy that cube steak in back in the dinner rotation.

Spruced Up Mashed Potatoes

Reviewed: Oct. 5, 2010

We now add cauliflower to our potatoes when boiling. We left out the carrots since we didn't think that the kid would buy into the colors. Thanks!

I also cooked everything on the stove and transferred to the oven at the end. Very good and a nice change of pace.

Seared Sea Scallops

Reviewed: Jan. 19, 2010

I followed previous suggestions by omitting the flour. I marinated the scallops for 3 hours wiht italian seasoning, garlic powder, olive oil and lemon juice before searing. I also deglazed the pan with white wine and poured over the scallops when serving. I am normally not a scallop eater but these disappeared off of everyones plate.

Reviewed: Aug. 22, 2009

I also used baking soda instead of baking powder. I took this to a bbq and it was quite a hit.

Grilled Salmon I

Reviewed: Jun. 16, 2009

I do not eat fish. That being said, this was wonderful. Even my 3 year old scarfed it up and wanted more. I did not have lemon pepper so I added pepper and the juice of one lemon to the marinade.

Marmalade Pork Chops

Reviewed: Feb. 24, 2009

I didn't have a lot of time so I did this on the stove. I browned boneless pork chops on both sides. Then I added 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup marmalade and garlic. I simmered until the chops were done and served with rice. They were very good. No leftovers. I will make this again.

Creamy Vegetable Medley

Reviewed: Nov. 30, 2006

The first time I made it I steamed frozed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots and I thought that the veggies were too chewy. The next time I used fresh broccoli and cauliflower (the kind in the bag) and LOVED IT. We now have this once a week or so.
