A delicious, delicious appetizer that takes almost no time at all, save for cooking the chicken. Throw in whatever ingredients you have on hand - if you have more beans, use more beans and cut down on the rice and chicken and vice versa. Or cut out the chicken entirely for a vegetarian option. I doubled the recipe easily for a large party. <br />

Here's a nice, light, weeknight meal to make after all the heavy eating of Thanksgiving! Takes almost no time at all and I would recommend serving with mashed potatoes or rice pilaf along with a green veggie. <br />

We're moving and I am in the clean-out-the-pantry phase of packing. This is a great recipe for that, as you can use almost anything you want in these (within reason): shredded chicken, green chiles, different kinds of cheeses, etc.. And I didn't have the time to make the enchilada sauce, but I did have some bottled already in the fridge, along with leftover salsa. So I just combined those on the stove and added some chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder for extra flavor. Use corn or flour tortillas as well!<br />

So delicious - this will definitely be added into my favorite recipe file. I added a few dashes of Tabasco sauce before turning on the slow cooker to add a little more spice. Definitely try this with the pickles and ketchup as garnish - sounds weird but adds to the flavor! I served this alongside Texas Toast and a green salad. <br />

An easy recipe to put together. I would recommend using the already sliced pepperoni and chopping that unless you plan on slicing the link of pepperoni REALLY thin. I served with pita chips. <br />

So good - these are best kept in the fridge because of their cakey texture (and they will last longer too). I used dark chocolate morsels in place of the chocolate chips. <br />

Another burger! I actually used ground turkey for these instead of chicken, but you can use either! I really liked the idea of the BBQ sauce IN the burger as well as basted on top of it. Chuck only flips burgers once, so once you flip to a cooked side, just baste once with the reserved sauce. <br />

I must confess, I have no idea why this recipe has "slutty" in the title, but I don't care! This is a delicious layered bar of sugar cookie dough, Golden Oreos, and blondies. I made the exact recipe in a 13 x 9 dish instead of the recommended 9 x 9 to stretch the amount of bars it would make. It came out fine - just watch the baking time, as it will probably take a little less. <br />

Summertime is all about grilling at our house, and I'm always on the lookout for a new burger, preferably a turkey burger to lighten it up! This recipe was delicious! I omitted the red onion in the tzatziki sauce since I have a problem eating it raw, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. <br />

Although this ice cream calls for a custard (more work) it looked delicious and I wanted to make one with marshmallows.

This ice cream looked easy enough - no praline to make and you just have to swirl the peanut butter in at the end of churning. I didn't use natural peanut butter (and I've actually read in The Perfect Scoop that it's not recommended), just regular smooth Skippy. It was delicious!<br />

I'm always looking for a new recipe for marinating pork and this one stood out as a classic. You can either slice the pork as suggested, or if you're going to grill the meat, leave it as a whole tenderloin and marinate the entire piece. This will give it a little less flavor, but make it easier to grill. <br />
