Cook This Now: 120 Easy and Delectable Dishes You Can't Wait to Make

This was really lovely - the ribs were fall off the bone tender, and the marinade made a lovely sauce.

This is a really good stick to your ribs winter soup. The crispy onions are fabulous. It's also pretty easy to prepare as soups go.
Like most soups, it's better the next day, and the crispy onions actually hold up surprisingly well if you just stir them into the leftovers like she recommends.

I happened to have exactly the vegetables needed to make this in my last CSA box (which matched pretty perfectly to the September placement in the book). It was super easy to make, and quick enough for a weeknight.

If I made it again, I think I'd amp up the garlic, and get few more hardy herbs in while it's roasting. Still, it was pretty good comfort food.

Really excellent flavor, and so easy to make since you can make it the night before. The chicken was really moist.
I left out the jalapeno seeds, and there was barely any heat to the dish, though YMMV depending on the jalapeno.
