Boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded thin, filled with garlic lemon butter, rolled breaded, browned on each side and finished in the oven. Easy and delicious week night supper. I served with cheesy mashed potatoes and a salad. Yum!

Great for a party or for a snack. We've made this many times and sometimes even switch up the cheese to what ever we're in the mood for. Great right by the recipe too.

This one is great with the sauteed apples and raisins on the same page. Makes a wonderful hearty breakfast.

Delicious version of 15 bean soup. Hubby and I enjoyed on a very cold winter day. Served with cornbread.

This one had an unusual taste for sloppy Joes but still good on a buttered toasted bun with dill pickle slices. It had chili sauce, Dijon Mustard, Worcestershire, onion, cream cheese and hamburger meat in it.

The five ingredients used to make these are unsalted butter, ripe bananas, either agave or honey and I used honey, egg and self-rising flour. She also gives you an idea for a toss in extra ingredient if you desire and suggests toasted pecans. Since I didn't have pecans on hand I used toasted walnuts. She also suggests you can serve them warm with a smear of cream cheese which my daughter did and she loved them that way. These were quiet good.

It had snowed here and I wanted something warm to eat. I was looking for a tomato soup recipe since I had some crushed tomatoes. I didn't have any milk or cream so I was trying to find one that didn't call for that. I finally found this one and it was delicious. I used siracha for the hot sauce and it gave it a nice little kick. I only used half as many onions as called for since it seemed quiet a lot and someone in the reviews for the recipe said it was a bit over whelming with onion. I used chicken broth for the broth since I didn't have veggie broth. I would definitely make this one again.

My aunt used to make this and I was delighted to find the recipe in this book. This is a simple dish to make and is quiet delicious. The mushroom soup makes a wonderful sauce for the chicken and rice. Great for a weeknight meal. Add a salad or veggie and your meal is ready in no time.

This was so flavorful. It comes from the microwave section. It's started in the microwave and finished in a fry pan with a tiny bit of olive oil, garlic, jalapeno and a splash of lime juice which really brightens up the dish. I served this wiht the Sirloin steak wht creamy horseradish sauce page 210 and Lemony Herb Potatoes page 244.

While this was good they just weren't as flavorful as I would have liked. I don't think a 1/2 teaspoon of the oregano and lemon pepper was enough for the amount of potatoes.

Quick and easy work night supper. Delicious. I didn't have red peppers so I used orange and yellow.

We loved the combination of cheeses in this one and the optional ham. I did only opt for a half amount of cayenne since mine is super hot. Next time I think I'd only do a fourth.

I've had my eye on this recipe since I first got the Appetites book, but it's just been too hot here to enjoy chili. I finally made it for our Sunday supper tonight and it was delicious but a bit spicy. I did use harissa instead of the tomato paste as suggested since I had some in the fridge. I had to order a jar of diced Hatch Green Chilies from Amazon, since I am unable to find them here.

I had some apples that needed using up and had all the other ingredients on hand so decided this was the recipe to try. I'm happy I did as it's very good. In the apple notes the author says she's made this one with many different firm sweet apples and since both Pink Lady and Cameo were on that list and I knew the apples I had were one of those (came from my Dad and couldn't remember which he said he bought) I used those.

I like the cheat sheet given in this book for apple varieties to use in the recipes or when you're looking for either firm-tart, firm-sweet, or tender-tart apples.

I made the all butter dough from this book to make this pie. I used a mix of raspberries, strawberries and blackberries. Yum!

This one's loaded with lots of great tasting veggies, kidney beans and macaroni. Wonderful meal for a cool day.

These were easy to make and delicious. A great way to use up some summer zucchini.

This one is similar to a shepherds pie. It was good but not fantastic.

We love these. A tortilla filled with ground beef, onions, salsa, potatoes, tomatoes, spices, cheese and sour cream. I've made them many times and will make them again and again.

I loved this. The crispy edges of the tortilla were perfect for dipping into the runny yolk. Loved the addition of hot sauce to the top before baking.

This cake is a little drier and less sweet than the usual carrot cake. I really enjoyed it with coffee. I also enjoyed the three types of ginger going on and the little bit of heat from them. It has ground and crystallized in the batter, ginger juice in the icing, and an extra sprinkle of crystallized on top. Getting the ginger juice was a breeze since she talks you thru it and I especially enjoyed how she showed you how in her show. You can do a search and watch her make this cake on you tube. I didn't have the cup and a fourth of chopped walnuts called for so I used about a half cup in the batter and a quarter cup sprinkled on top. It seemed like plenty to me.

Delicious and refreshing salad.

Simple but oh so delicious. I used toasted sourdough bread and very ripe Roma tomatoes. Will definitely be making these again.

I didn't do the optional topping. First taste I had to add more butter and Parmesan. Made them better but I prefer my mashed potatoes with milk and not potato water. This is my least favorite recipe from this cookbook. Hoping to try the Potato Waffles p. 71 with some of the leftovers.

I used the leftover garlic and Parmesan mashed potatoes as suggested. I liked them better than the original potatoes. The bites of bacon with the waffle was delicious. Ketchup was also good on them. I'm sure I just made someone cringe. These waffles remind me a bit of the mashed potato cakes I've eaten and made all my life. I do like my families version better but these were still good.

This serves two so I made it for mine and sons supper. We enjoyed it but decided not enough to make again.

Once you roast your jalapeno this recipe is a breeze to make. I thought I had some Mexican cheese but it was moldy so I used Montery Jack since it said to use whatever cheese you had on hand. The only other ingredients you need are corn tortillas, some sliced onion and a fried egg. It easy you can add what ever else you want so after taking a bit I tried some salsa which was good but it's also good as is. I had mine for supper but it'd be a great breakfast too.

Delicious. Light as air with a hint of lime that complements the taste of the blackberries in the frosting. I got 21 cupcakes instead of 18.

These were amazing. So moist and loved the cream cheese mixture for the filling. Made these with my 15 year old great-niece. She's been baking and cooking with me since she was very young. She's becoming a great cook. We frosted them with the Chocolate Ganache from page 27.

Very easy but tasty muffin. Great use for over ripe bananas. I had some about to go to waste and had all the other ingredients on hand to make these. They are delicious.

Son, hubby and I loved this simple but delicious side dish. Great way to spice up potatoes. Daughter thought they were a bit sweet tasting to her.

We made this with some homegrown tomatoes and the flavor was out of this world. I will make again.

This frosting is perfect for the cake on page 165. Delicious and chocolaty!

I made this one for my daughter's birthday in 2008. A wonderful fall salad. The fall flavors go together so well. It was enjoyed by all. The dressing goes well with other salads.

A very simple way to fix Brussels sprouts but oh so delicious. My daughter doesn't care for them but will eat them this way.

Such a simple recipe but so delicious. I used dill and it was a hit. This is one I know I'll be making often as I love carrots.

Like Peckish Sister my French loaf was rather large so my croutons were on the large side. They were delicious with the Corn Chowder from page 74 and also good with some radish butter I made from the Lee Brothers Simple Southern Cookbook. I think these would also be great with many other soups and also as a snack by their-selves.

A great version of French Toast. I made this one for hubby after seeing Ina make it on one of her shows a few years ago. We have since made it a couple times more and it's delicious.

Made this to take to work for my lunch and it was so good. Summer in a bowl.

This chicken was wonderful. The crispy crust from the panko almost makes you think you're having fried chicken. The dijon, wine, lemon zest, garlic and thyme also make for a wonderful treat for your taste buds. I decided to use bone in thighs instead of a whole cut up chicken since most of my family prefers dark meat.

I made this recipe from Food Network magazine so wanted to link to the book:
http://www.cookbooker.com/recipe/35597/1770-house-meatloaf

This was very good. It was indeed a bit spicy. The Italian sausage, although only a 1/2 pound to 2 pounds ground turkey (I used ground chicken), was a dominate feature in the meatball mixture. It seemed to overpower the prosciutto, so think it would probably be just as good with lean bacon. I liked the addition of asiago cheese in the meatball mixture.

Need something rich and hearty for a cold winter night? Then this just might fit the bill. We all enjoy barley and my son likes oxtail stew, this seemed to be a good combination of the two. I didn't have leeks so I used some sweet onion in their place in addition to the other onion. I also left out the celery since neither hubby nor son enjoys celery. At first bite I though this was a little on the sweet side but after adding crackers to mine I enjoyed it much more. It's definitely filling and will warm you from the inside out. Next time I might leave out the bay leaf since hubby tends to object to them lately. Next time I might also add some mushrooms since we enjoy mushrooms and barley. I did make half a recipe.

These were very good. I made half a recipe for six muffins. I think I could have used the whole jalapeño though since they weren't that hot. I did decide to make the Cheddar Butter to bring the recipe to brilliant and was glad I did since the muffins were delicious with the butter. These muffins were the perfect accompaniment to the Lentil Soup from Soup's On.

Hubby and I both agreed we like the way I cook pintos better either with peanut butter, ham hock or ham bone. Although we enjoy salt pork as a seasoning didn't care for it with the beans. Hubby also didn't like the taste the thyme and bay leaves (I used dried since I couldn't find fresh ones) lent to the dish. We didn't mind the broth nor the onions. I did top mine with some of mine and Mom's homemade Mexican Chow-Chow and served the beans with cornbread. For us these beans were just ok and not a recipe I'd use again.

I made these for Mom and I the other day with a nice ripe white peach from a local peach farm. We really enjoyed them. They look nice with the peach slices in the middle of the pancake but my pancakes came out a bit lopsided. They still tasted great though.

A neighbour gave us an abundance of okra so after frying a mess I went looking for some more ways to use it up. I made my daughter and I some of my okra, tomato, corn gumbo and made these to go with. We loved them and they went fantastically with the gumbo.

We really enjoyed these fixed on the charcoal grill. The sauce is fantastic and served with the kebabs. My son in law said we could make these again any time.

I made this to go with the pork steaks from the previous page. I had most of the ingredients already on hand. Since I didn't have tomato puree I used some of my home canned tomatoes to which I added some tomato paste from the freezer and pureed with my immersion blender. Also didn't have dark corn syrup so I used my light, and didn't have OJ concentrate so I subbed some fresh OJ. I omitted the 1/4 tsp. cloves since we tend to not like it in savory dishes. It turned out good and I would make it again. It got nice and thick even with my substitutions. It does contain a lot of ingredients but just a little of each. The flavors blended together for a nice BBQ sauce.

This could actually be a main course or a side. My daughter and I loved the addition of plum tomatoes, yellow squash and onions in this one as well as the use of white cheddar popcorn instead of the usually bread crumb topping. Son said he would have liked it better without the tomatoes and squash and hubby though a bit dry.
