-Nahajzer
CRISPY PARMESAN-RANCH CHICKEN BREASTS

BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES

-Yummy Twin Mummy
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BAKED OATMEAL
“I quadrupled the recipe and used molasses instead of brown sugar. This is a really good recipe! Kids loved it even though two of them profess to hate oatmeal! My daughter saw me rate this and said, “That was oatmeal?!” It was a really good way to get something healthy in them.”

PEPPERONI PIZZA CASSEROLE

TACO SALAD
“This was one of the many salads that I served to over 25 guests at my mother’s 85th birthday party—everybody enjoyed it! My daughter said the leftovers were even better when she added some chopped jalapeños for additional heat.”

CHICKEN & DUMPLINGS
“The dumplings were light and had a delicious (‘perfect’ in my book) texture and flavor. My husband was very suspicious; his experience had always been with heavy, gooey dumplings—but he loved this. The secret to a light dumpling is to never lift the lid until they’re done (just like cooking rice).”

SUNDAY GRAVY
“This was so simple to put together, and everything worked. The meatballs, the sauce, the Italian sausage… I served this over a bed of linguini along with garlic bread. The sauce clung perfectly to every strand of pasta. One of my guests said it was like eating in a little Italian restaurant in New York.”

PENNE CASSEROLE WITH CHICKEN & BROCCOLI
“I don’t usually like casseroles, but I had most of the ingredients in the house so decided to try it. It was very, very good. I had some large chunks of good quality frozen broccoli, that I just added to the pasta the last five minutes of cooking, and it turned out perfectly. Used some fajita spiced store-bought chicken, which gave it a little kick.”
