Juicy Roasted Chicken

Reviewed: Feb. 28, 2011

We all love this chicken. I add a cut up onion to the pan and use a mixture of garlic salt on the inside of the bird and regular salt on the outside. We had this with Scalloped Potatoes and Onions and BLT salad. Delicious! All the plates were clean.

Cinnamon Bread I

Reviewed: Sep. 10, 2009

This is a favorite in our home. It's quick, easy, moist and delicious. I don't change anything with the recipe and always use fresh buttermilk.

Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs

Reviewed: Sep. 7, 2009

These were fabulous! The bacon really keeps the chicken moist. I used some of the marinade while grilling which seasoned the onion and pineapple nicely. Even my picky 6 year old liked them. I might make a maple sauce to drizzle over when done cooking next time.

French Baguettes

Reviewed: Jul. 28, 2008

I had to write a second review for this bread. We make it at least 3 times a week now. I use my kitchen aid to mix it and it comes out superb! We also make them into sesame and poppy seed rolls. Fool proof recipe if you follow the directions. Thanks for sharing it.

Vietnamese Rice-Noodle Salad

Reviewed: May 3, 2008

This is a great recipe. For our taste I changed a few things. I only use one clove of garlic. 5 was way to much. I also do not use jalapeno's. Instead of 3 tbs fish sauce I use 1 tsp just to add a hint of flavor. Also I use just a few leaves of mint so as not to overpower the salad. We omit the cabbage. As garnish we leave out chili garlic and peanuts to add optionally. The flavors blend over time so this is best on the 2nd day. Nice light fresh flavor for summer.

Japanese Chicken Wings

Reviewed: Jan. 13, 2008

all i can see is OMG. These are incredible. Even my picky 5 year old gobbled these up and asked for more. Here are the only changes I made to them. I beat the egg and put the wings in the egg. I added plenty of flour to coat them and fried them in about 1/3 cup of butter. Just enough to get them brown and not dry out as I fried them. I made the sauce with 1/2 c. brown sugar and 1/2 c. white sugar. I added a a tsp of ground ginger and used ginger flavord soy sauce and added chopped green onions and seasme seeds to the sauce and boiled it to melt the sugar. Pour the sauce over the wings and basted every 10-15 mins. Baked about 55 min and these were PERFECT. I will be making these over and over again!!!!!!!

Restaurant Style Chicken Nachos

Reviewed: Jan. 12, 2008

these came out fantastic! everyone gobbled them up. the only change i made was I did not have salsa so I used taco sauce. it had a nice tang without big peices of tomato in it. I also baked the chips ahead of time which made all the difference. will make again and again! thanks so much

Chicken and Dumplings IV

Reviewed: Sep. 30, 2007

This came out really good and DH and kids loved it. I used left over chicken from grilling for the meat. I made it into a broth and then peeled the meat off. I substituted the water for the chicken broth I had made. I also used one can of Cream of Chicken soup to give it more flavor and I made biscuits with Bisquick. It all was terribly good and we'll eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
