These enchiladas are all the rage on Pinterest right now.

Yummy chicken and cheese enchiladas topped with a sour cream sauce. I had to make a couple of substitutions when I realized I was missing a couple of ingredients. I didn't have any green chilis but I did have some very nice pepper jack cheese that I grated to put on top.

The enchiladas were creamy and melty and delicious. Even though my boys claim not to like sour cream, they didn't notice that the sauce was made with it. Everyone in the family liked these a lot.

This dish has a very typical sauce made with soy sauce, black vinegar, rice wine and a few other ingredients poured over stir fried shrimp, peppers and celery.

The entire recipe was super simple to pull together and cook. If I were to cook it again I'd stream line things by changing the order in which things were cooked. It really wouldn't be necessary to cook and then remove things from the wok if the order was changed somewhat. The dish itself was quite good though I'd amp up the spice next time.

My son requested that we try it with chicken next time and I think that would be even bet

My boys drink a lot of hot cocoa and they're pretty happy with the stuff they can scoop into their mugs and add hot water. Tonight, however, we had no hot cocoa mix so I made some from scratch.

Of course making cocoa isn't difficult but it's more than my boys would want to do every night. The boys thought this was "fancy". Whisking milk, cocoa, sugar and a bit of cinnamon together in a saucepan made a yummy treat. It would probably have been better with whole milk but we rarely have that in the house.

I really wanted these to be successful. There was lots of flavor added to the crockpot with these wings - hoisin sauce, lots of garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili sauce. The wings themselves were fall off the bone tender. I had planned to stick them in the oven to crisp them up a bit but the boys were starving and wanted to eat them right out of the crockpot.

The texture was surprisingly good. The problem was that the sauce got so watered down that there was only a hint of asian flavor. The wings were put in the crock frozen so as they defrosted they must have diluted the sauce.

I'd give these a 3.5 if I could because they were good - just not spicy or flavorful enough.

So amazingly excellent!

This is actually a frozen margarita. I made it with fresh squeezed lime juice, Patron tequila and Patron orange liqueur. Half a recipe made two perfectly sized margaritas and they were SO GOOD.

It's a good thing these took some effort to make or I'd drink them way too often.

Meh. Not enough chocolate taste. The sugar coating is just too much crunch and overpowers the chocolate flavor. They taste fine - just fine. I wouldn't make them again.

One of my all time favorite pasta dishes. My husband and I enjoy eating this when we get the rare opportunity to eat a meal alone.

This comes together very quickly. In the time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta you have a wonderful meal. It's best made with ripe summer tomatoes.

Super simple recipe that would be great to throw in before work. We decided to have this over rice instead of sandwiches and everyone said they'd eat it again. It's hard to beat a two ingredient dinner on a night when everyone gets home late from sports practices.

This was super easy to make but none of us enjoyed the soggy texture.

We eat a lot of pasta during track and cross country season and we really like Alfredo.

This particular recipe uses much less butter than the previous recipe I've used (2 Tbl vs. 8). Although the sauce didn't seem like it had reduced enough, once I added the pasta it clung right to it and thickened up.

This is our new Alfredo recipe.

Looking for a light weight treat to mail to my son in college, I stumbled across this recipe.

They're made chocolatey with the addition of both cocoa and mini chocolate chips as well as a topping of the mini chips. This recipe called for marshmallow cream instead of marshmallows.

They came together easily, cooled quickly and are on their way to New York.

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I've never made pie crust before. Generally, I use those very convenient Pillsbury pie crusts.

I followed the stand mixer directions for this crust and the dough came together easily. As I was rolling it out, it seemed a bit thick to me but it was difficult to get much thinner and it was the right size for the pie pan.

I prebaked this crust for use in a custard pie and it baked nicely with no bubbles on the sides. Served straight from the fridge with the coconut cream, it was rather tough. It had good flavor but it was rather difficult to cut with a fork.

Nice looking vanilla bundt cake studded with mini chocolate chips.

Delicious cake made with butter, cream cheese, vanilla and mini chocolate chips. The batter is quite thick and needs to be scooped into the pan.

I was sure to grease the pan thoroughly and the cake popped right out after cooling for about 20 minutes. This makes a great snack cake as it requires no icing.

This is a nice, quick coffee cake. It's different from many quick coffee cakes as it has no streusel on the top or mixed in. Instead, holes are poked throughout the cake after it comes out of the oven. Melted butter is then brushed on and cinnamon sugar is sprinkled on top.

It tastes rather like a buttermilk donut or muffin but is super quick to make. It can be eaten within 15 minutes of coming out of the oven.

The cake comes together very quickly as all of the ingredients are added to one bowl before being mixed briefly and poured into a 9 inch square pan.

Oh. My. Bob. These muffins are totally delicious.

I've been wanting to make these for years - ever since I tasted them on Cape Cod about 17 years ago. I don't know why I waited so long.

They are very easy to make and are sinfully good. They're quite terrible for you but they're supposed to be a treat. Next time, I'd ignore Ree's advice to really soak the muffins in the butter. They're better with just a tad less butter on the outside before the rolling in cinnamon sugar.

This was very good. I halved the recipe but forgot to halve the amount of chipotles so it was pretty darn spicy. I think we'd like it better just a tad less hot. I look forward to trying it again.

Edit: I made this a second time with the correct proportion of ingredients and it was delicious. Everyone loved it.

Although I've made plenty of pasta salads in my life, I do not have a macaroni in my repertoire. With only a half hour to prepare a macaroni salad, I found this one on the Pioneer Woman's website.

The dressing is made with mayo, vinegar, pickle juice and a bit of milk. In addition to the macaroni, I added chopped pickles, onions, an egg and cucumber because it's what I had available.

The salad was very good without overwhelming mayo or vinegar flavor as is common in store bought macaroni salad. I'd make it again when I had a few more veggies to add but we were quite happy with it as is.

I'm quite sure this is not the BEST EVER macaroni salad but it was good enough for a family meal served with grilled hot dogs.

These were the best chicken enchiladas I've ever made. They were a little too much work for a weeknight meal but were perfect for a Saturday night dinner.

My youngest didn't care for them but I think it was a combination of the texture of the corn tortillas (I'd make them with flour ones next time) and the green enchilada sauce (I'd use red next time).

I'll have to try this again before I'm certain of the rating. This dough just seemed too loose and oily to me. It rose nicely but it was still too oily.

It was able to be rolled out easily and made a nice calzone dough but I prefer a dough that doesn't have quite as much oil.

A super quick recipe that uses only common household panty ingredients. I substituted sour milk for buttermilk and added a dollop of molasses to the brown sugar to substitute for dark brown sugar.

The batter is looser than most other muffins and the muffins don't rise quite as high but they are delicious and have a nice spicy taste that reminds me of fall.

These were baked as muffin tops and mini muffins and made 12 muffin tops and 11 mini muffins.

This is an exceedingly simple recipe for refried beans.

Canned beans are pureed in the food processor. They are then added to a pan in which diced slab bacon has been rendered. In addition to the bacon there are onions, garlic and spices. The beans thickened in the pan while the rest of dinner was cooked.

The beans had a very pronounced bacon flavor and, while they were quite good, I was the only person in the family who liked them. It would have been good to know ahead of time that no one cares for refried beans.

This is the recipe that taught me to cook mac and cheese. It's very easy and my family loves it.

I leave out the broccoli, add breadcrumbs and put it in a 350 oven for about 20 minutes.

My 18 year old son picked out this recipe to cook. It's basically ground chicken with spices rolled up in phyllo dough and baked.

We found using the phyllo dough very fiddly and, in the end, it didn't hold up very well to the filling. More layers of phyllo were definitely required. The taste was quite good but too much bother.

We made it again a couple of weeks later using a can of Pillsbury pizza dough. We divided the dough in half and divided the mixture between them. This made for a super simple meal which we all enjoyed even more.

It's certainly not fine dining but it was surprisingly tasty and we all enjoyed it.

When asked what he wanted for his birthday cake, my husband quickly responded with Snickers Pie. Apparently he had this at our neighbor's Christmas Eve party and had been planning to request it for his birthday.

I did a quick Google search and then called my neighbor to confirm this was the same recipe that my husband had eaten. I must confess that this is not something I would have normally made. It is basically a mixture of peanut butter, confectioners sugar, Cool Whip and chopped up snickers bars poured into an Oreo cookie shell.

This may have been the first time in my life I've ever bought Cool Whip. The recipe was very easy to make. I let it sit in the fridge over night to cool. I wish that the filling had hardened some but I guess refrigerated Cool Whip stays pretty soft. Nevertheless, it cut easily.

The boys all LOVED the pie - including the birthday boy. I found it cloyingly sweet and didn't care for the too mushy texture. I feel the need to give it 4 stars as everyone but me seems to love this darn pie. In fact, the recipe makes enough for 2 pies so we have plenty for tomorrow as well. I don't need another piece.

Delicious! A wonderful marinade made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, garlic and ginger. The kebabs had great flavor!

We'll use this marinade for our kebabs from now on.

This is a simple but delicious marinade which we used on some lovely turkey tenderloins.

The marinade is made in a blender or small food processor and includes garlic, ginger, soy sauce, shallots and oil. After a 30 minute marinade the tenderloins were placed on the grill.

The turkey was truly moist and very flavorful. We all loved it and I would use it again for chicken or maybe even pork.

All that being said, DO NOT go to this blog unless you enjoy poor spelling, atrocious grammar, a bizarre attraction and misuse of the semi-colon, and ridiculous cutesy language. I have printed out this particular recipe so I never have to return again.

Mother's Day breakfast (a day early) made by my 14 year old son.

I found this version of baked french toast better than others we've tried. The toasting of the bread meant that there were nice crisp edges and a custardy under layer. Most of the work can be done the night before which makes breakfast come together very quickly the next morning. In the time it takes to bake the french toast, one can fry up an entire pound of bacon.

Served with a side of crispy bacon, this was a wonderful Mother's Day breakfast.

Very simple, very wonderful recipe!

Essentially a green bean stir fry with garlic and red pepper flakes. Everyone in my family loved them and we'll eat green beans this way again very soon.

I may have to bake these again to give a fair rating.

The cookies have minimal ingredients and are leavened by only one egg. I added a few drops of lemon oil for added lemon flavor. I expected flat "snap" cookies but the cookies I got were small mounds with crystallized sugar surrounding them.

I used a small cookie scoop to measure them out but the cookies were hit or miss in size. Some just completely melted into piles of brown sugary goo.

The cookies that didn't dissolve (most) are quite good. Perfect for when you want a fruity cookie.

A very nice fettucini alfredo! Alfredo is a simple recipe that I've managed to mess up more than once.

The sauce didn't thicken quite as much as I would have liked but I probably could have let it simmer longer. I also added twice as much parmesan cheese because the amount called for seemed skimpy. In the end, however it had a very nice flavor with no grit (which has been my problem in the past).

Served over a pound of linguine, this served our family of five nicely. The recipe claims that this serves 2 to 3 as an entree which would be WAY too much food.

This is the first time I've ever made homemade baked beans.

I doubled the recipe because I'm bringing it to a large gathering. I followed the directions and cooked the onions and garlic on the stove and started the sauce there as well. I then added the sauce to the beans in a crockpot.

I cooked the beans in the crockpot on low for 6 hours before turning it down to warm. All the flavors came together perfectly - they're not too sweet nor do they taste of molasses. They're just right.

This recipe adapts perfectly to the crockpot and I'd recommend cooking them this way during the summer to avoid turning on the oven. They make the house smell wonderful.

EDIT: I have since made these in the crockpot again. This time I did not precook the onions and garlic on the stove - just tossed them raw into the crockpot - and the beans were still just as good.

With 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of butter and 1 1/2 cups of parmesan cheese, this dish should have been much better. For some reason, this sauce turned gritty on me and clung to the pasta in a not so attractive manner.

We love Alfredo but won't make this particular recipe again. The recipe I usually use has no additional butter in it (making in lower in fat) and we like it much better.
