Recipe raves

[aggiebug]

I thought it would be nice to share recipes we have tried recently that are worth of raving about. Or staples in your home. Maybe this could be an end of the month thing? Or a weekly thing. Or tell me I am done that is ok too.

parmesan crusted Tilapia easy peasy too

quinoa enchiladas casserole another easy recipe

Weight Watchers fried rice I added chicken to think that I just cooked in the pan with a little soy sauce I also made it with brown rice instead of white. A little more prep work but still a simple meal.

[misshart00]

I have nothing to add but I'll definitely be following along. I'm always looking for recipes.

Not really a recipe but we mixed equal parts Italian dressing and Sweet Baby Rays. Marinated chicken in it overnight. Grilled up to perfection. It was the best tip I got all week.

I'm excited to collect some recipes. I am miserably uncreative but I like to cook

I literally have every ingredient for the Tilapia dish... Yay!

Grilled chicken thighs people seem to really like this whenever I serve it at a cookout. I don't think it really smells or tastes like tandoori chicken. But whatever.

I love this idea! I'm always looking for new recipes.

aggiebug, I just made that quinoa enchilada thing and it was great.

I can't find the recipe, but I made greek turkey burgers Friday and they were awesome. It was 1lb ground turkey, 1/2 cup feta cheese, 2 eggs, and because I didn't have breadcrumbs I threw in some ritz crackers, salt/pepper and mixed it all together to make 4 patties. After grilling I made a Tzatziki sauce made with greek yogurt, dill, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and juice of 1 lemon and put them on the burgers. It was so yummy and I'm going to make it again this week!

toadandbuggie that sounds stellar!!!

This pasta salad is a staple in my fridge. I am not ashamed to admit I have made it with all intentions of bringing to a cookout and then eating it all myself...

aggiebug I love that tilapia recipe, too. Definitely a favorite in our house.

I'm aiming high for a summer bucket list - not going to the gym, not traveling some place awesome, just to a new pasta salad every week. So far I've done this, buffalo chicken pasta salad, and greek orzo pasta salad. All good.

My husband hates veggies, but I found a couple recipes that he loves recently. They vary in how healthful the recipes are.

A good salmon recipe: allrecipes.com/recipe/maple-salmon/detail.aspx

A good pork chop recipe: allrecipes.com/recipe/baked-pork-chops-i/detail.aspx (I've made with and without the wine, using milk as mentioned in some of the reviews. No big difference either way)

Chicken Parmesan Casserole

Best Ever Burgers


Chicken Avocado Burritos

Those are my recent Pinterest successes! All three are delicious!

[miniwheat]

Best thread! I am going to try several of these next week!

Not diet friendly but Emeril's Bayou Chicken Pasta is always a hit when I'm entertaining. You can cut way back on the salt. I use a Serrano pepper instead of a habanero, but you can omit entirely and the flavor is still delicious & less spicy. Don't forget to reserve some water from boiling the noodles - makes all the difference if you need to add to your sauce!

crock pot chicken tacos

I love this one pot chicken risotto because I can use any/all veggies in my fridge and it tastes delicious. Like any risotto it takes a lot of stirring though, so you have to be by the stove for 30-60 minutes (depending on how much you're making and how quickly your rice takes the liquid).

I love this marinade for beef or venison. I use it for anything from stir fry to fajita nachos. It's just a great flavor.

rosebakes.com/one-bowl-chocolate-cake-scratch/ because there are NO desserts on here.. I substituted butter for oil.. cause you know butters always better

I used this icing www.barefeetinthekitchen.com/2014/10/fluffy-chocolate-frosting-recipe.html?m=1

It was excellent.

[lilyelayne]

These ohenry bars are amazing. I adjust the topping to be more chocolate than PB and use semisweet chocolate.

I make this cinnamon-sugar bread (which is more like a dessert) for gifts at Christmas. I sub Greek yogurt for the sour cream & use a mix of whole wheat and all purpose flour. I ordered Hershey's cinnamon chips from Amazon. One recipe is enough for 5 mini loaves. The batter freezes well.

For weekend breakfast sometimes I make lemon poppyseed pancakes using Greek yogurt & whole wheat flour. They are decent frozen & reheated in toaster or microwave.

Just made Mexican Quinoa for dinner tonight...very quick and easy. And good

[mishka29]

I've never bought or cooked quinoa. That's it.

Me neither. And I don't like it. A texture thing.

Oh this is a good way to try it. My mom suggested I try it years ago, but I didn't for a long time because I didn't know what do do with it.

[aggiebug]

Oh a not so healthy recipe.

Crockpot Mac n cheese

My blue box loving husband requests this recipe. It makes a lot but it freezes pretty well and is also awesome as a potluck side.

[emilyz320]

I hope you all don't mind if I bring back this thread, but I made this one pot caprese pasta last night and it was so good. I added chicken sausage that I browned as well. Will definitely be adding this to the rotation.
