A few weeks ago I signed up again and this time I don't intend to cancel. I have not been disappointed. Although some of the recipes have a few more steps than I'm used to it is worth it. All of the recipes that I have tried have been very good! And the best part is that my kids love them! I wouldn't make these everyday of the week because of the extra steps, but a few times? You bet.
This here is Orange Chicken. A definite keeper.
This is a list of recipes I have tried and give my stamp of approval:
+ Orange-Flavored Chicken - Winner all around.
+ Best Drop Biscuits - How can you not like something that is mostly butter? Super easy.
+ Hearty Minestrone - OK, now my kids didn't like this because there was cabbage and zucchini in it, but both Scott and I thought it was great. I will make again and the boys will have to learn to like it. Easy.
+ Pork Stir-Fry with Noodles - Kids and Scott loved it. I liked it, just didn't love the taste of the sauce. Personal preference though.
+ Chicken Pot Pie with Savory Crumble Topping - Winner all around
+ Ultimate Banana Bread - Winner all around. I added chocolate chips and omitted the bananas on top.
+ Pan-Seared Chicken Breasts with Lemon and Chive Pan Sauce - Need to add a bit more lemon to the sauce next time. Winner all around.
+ Baked Ziti - Winner all around. Easy.
+ Chewy Sugar Cookies - Taylor made these and did a great job. Winner all around.
This is what is coming up on my monthly menu:
Black Bean Soup
Best French Onion Soup - I know the kids won't like it, but I will!
Chicken Piccata
Skillet Lasagna
Crunchy Baked Pork Chops
Chicken Fried Steak

John has loved this show on TV and their recipes and frequently told about the extra steps that would really make a difference. Now that I own three of their cookbooks I'm convinced. They even taught me how to improve my wheat bread and lasagna and I honestly believed I had perfected both those recipes.
Also a huge Test Kitchen fan. Gonna have to try these...
I have had fun with a lot of recipies on pintrest. I didn't realize there were so many great recipies outside of my moms cook book until now.
