Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Cranberry Sauce

Pork Tenderloin with Balsamic Cranberry Sauce

Absolutely fantastic! My 4 yr and 18 month loved it too. Served it with roasted rosemary sweet potatoes. It made A LOT of sauce for our pork chops (had that on hand not a tenderloin). I have put it in the freezer for the next time. Thank you very much for sharing!!!!M

Old-Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup with Winter Vegetables

Good. Glad to use parsnips in something. I did have to add some poultry seasoning, but otherwise great.

Beef Stew - Slow Cook

Beef Stew - Slow Cook

My family loved it. I did not use season salt and only used a half Tbsp of siracha (due to little ones). I have been looking for a good beef stew. Thank you!

Taco Seasoning Mix

Taco Seasoning Mix

Will never buy a packet again. I make it with homemade chili powder too. I gave this away in gift jars for Christmas this year because I had to share the deliciousness. Thank you for a great seasoning recipe!

Refreshing Cilantro Lime Rice

Refreshing Cilantro Lime Rice

Great recipe. Next time I will add more lime juice. I did 2 c of water to 1 c rice. I also added a half of can of zesty tomatoes (they had jalapenos with them) for extra spice and vegetable. I served it with Pepper Rubbed Pork chops topped with guacamole and it was a fabulous dinner. I see where this could go with many latin dishes in our future. Thanks for the recipe.

Pepper Rubbed Pork Chops

Pepper Rubbed Pork Chops

These were great. I think they turned fabulous when I topped them with fresh guacamole and served them along side cilantro lime rice. Holy smokes was it a great meal. Thank you for the recipe it is going in the rotation. I think I will try it on chicken too.

Dip n Dunk Guacamole

Dip n Dunk Guacamole

Absolutely, without a doubt, THE BEST homemade guacamole ever! I will never buy the spice packet to add to avocados again. This is exactly what I have been looking for over at least 2 years. THANK YOU!! I did have to modify because I did not have a green onion or fresh tomatoes. I used a 1/4 of a can of zesty diced tomatoes (they had jalapenos in them) and a 1/4 of a small yellow onion. I did about 1 Tbsp of chopped cilantro because I love it. Fabulous Gaucamole!!!

Jerk Pork Chops

Jerk Pork Chops

The pork itself was good and moist. The jerk paste didn't taste jerk to us. The paste tasted mainly like cinnamon and no heat at all. We will make again, but next time cut way back on the cinnamon and kick up the cayenne. Thank you for the idea.

General Tso's Chicken

General Tso's Chicken

My family really liked this dish. I did find that the cornstarch and egg breading for the chicken was not worth my time. Next time I will only stir fry the chicken by itself. I didn't do the whole dry red peppers, instead I used julienned carrots and red, yellow and orange bell peppers. I did add several sprinkles of red cayenne for heat. It was great and easy! Will be doing again!!!

Zesty Garlic Cheese Bread

Zesty Garlic Cheese Bread

Fabulous!!! I am not even sure that does this recipe justice. I used ciabatta bread. I used fresh oregano and fresh basil because I have my own herb garden. We had friends over so I served it with dinner and they devoured it. I only had 3 slices. A definite keeper. Thank you!!!!

Bourbon Chicken

Bourbon Chicken

I thought it was an easy, good homemade chinese. I replaced the brown sugar with amber agave nectar (which I do any time a recipe calls for brown sugar). It did not remind me of bourbon street at all.

Baked Pork Chops with Steamed Carrots and Zucchini

Baked Pork Chops with Steamed Carrots and Zucchini

The pork was very tender, didn't even need a knife. The flavor was great. It did take some time to put together, but it was definitely worth it.

Jeff's "Cecils anyone?" Triple-Cheese Mac Attack

Unfortunately, this dish did not work well for my family. The different cheeses did not seem to meld well in the flavor category for us. Thanks for the new dish to try on my family.
