Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
I prefer to bake but like cooking, too. I think I'm a cookbook addict. I have a double cabinet (42" wide, three shelves) full of cookbooks. I also like to garden. Last year was my first vegetable garden. Not a great success but I'm going to try again this summer. I also like to quilt, scrapbook, knit (especially socks), and read. I enjoy camping in our pop-up camper, and spending time with my two beautiful granddaughters.
Recipes I've Posted (all 75)
I'll try most any recipe with cranberries in it. I like to try ethic foods--Indian, Asian, Italian; but my husband is pretty much a comfort food person. My New Year's resolution was to try two new recipes a week and I've stuck to it so far.

Slow Cooker Tex-mex Chicken (9)Forgot the cheese and garnish but went over big in our house.

Marion's Butterfly Pork Chops and GravyI browned the chops and got them in the oven, ran some errands, and finished the dinner when I got home. Perfect!

Karen's BBQ Pork Baby Back Ribs with Spice RubIt was 104 degrees when I made these for our 4th of July picnic..I didn't want to have the stove on for 1 1/2 hours,so I used a bottled bbq sauce. But the result was still the hit of the party. I'm thinking I may make a large batch of the bbq sauce in the fall or winter and freezing it until I need it.

Red, White, and Blueberry TrifleEveryone at my Fourth of July Picnic liked this and several asked for the recipe. I cut some of the pound cake into stars using a cookie cutter for an extra patriotic punch. I should have heeded another reviewer and doubled the cream mixture.

Christmas Ribbon SaladMade this for Christmas Dinner and got very positive reviews from family. Will add to my "make again" list.

Foil-Pack Chicken and Broccoli Dinner (15)I haven't made this yet, but they require a rating so I gave it three. I'm wondering if anyone has tried this on a grill. Sounds like it would be a good for a camping trip.

Beef Chili with BeansNever made chili from scratch before--then I realized that the prepackaged mixes I was using were just spices all of which I had in my spice rack. So I tried this...it's definitely a keeper. Everyone thought it was two thumbs up--including the 5 year old.

George's Mandarin Orange ChickenI thought this was quite good. I served it over rice with peas on the side. I might try cutting the chicken into cubes next time, and adding broccoli as someone else suggested for more of a stir fry supper.

Cream Cheese Filled Red Velvet Cupcakeshesr4: I haven't made this recipe (hence the low rating), but I have made red velvet cake and it takes 2 (1 oz) bottles.
