Chicken Spaghetti
My entire family loved this. My picky six year old ate it. I was in a hurry and didn't bake this in the oven. I boiled the spaghetti while I put the other ingredients together in another deep fry pan. When the pasta was done, I just drained and put into the deep pan and mixed the pasta into the rest of the ingredients. I topped with sharp cheddar and let it melt and mixed it in. I omitted the bacon and bread crumbs for time sake and I wasn't baking it so it wouldn't have made that crust on top. I will try this as written when I have a little more time, but it was awesome without baking and very fast. I had cooked chicken breast from another recipe, so it was very quick. I did have to thin it out a little with some chicken broth, about a cup, as it was a little too thick. I added diced pimento's cause we like it that way, and it gives color. I also used a can of mushroom soup and one can of chicken, as that's what I had on hand.

North Carolina-Style Pulled Pork
This was awesome! Kids loved it. Everyone did. Even better as leftovers the next day. I used half the recipe with a 4 lb roast. I did as others suggested and used liquid smoke in the sauce and all over the roast before I rubbed it down. I cooked it in the oven in a cast iron dutch oven with lid for 3 hours at 300-325. It was moist and juicy. Since I made half the size roast I made half the sauce, but it does soak it up so, if you want more sauce, make the whole recipe or double according to size roast. I made it a little too spicy this time, will use less heat next time. Didn't have spicy paprika so I used a little cayenne pepper. I found a vinegary coleslaw recipe to top the sandwiches with, and it was perfect. Very authentic. This will be a regular in our home

Cousin Cosmo's Greek Chicken
This chicken was wonderful. It was moist, juicy and flavorful. I didn't dry it out this time! My kids loved it, even the 6 year old. My husband enjoyed it very much. I also love chicken, but I prefer to have a sauce or filling like this one did, or it's just too boring. I used chicken broth as others suggested. I put some spinach and tomatoes and olives in the cheese mix and used more lemon than it called for. Next time I will use Kalamata olives instead of black. This is a new "regular" for our house. Oh, it did take longer to cook than the recipe stated, but I had enormous sized chicken breasts. I took the time to pound out the meat and I'm sure it cut down on the cooking time, which otherwise would have taken much longer.
