This was delicious. I know she says in the book not to use the good bourbon but all I had was Woodford Reserve so that's what I used. I marinated for about 8 hours in fridge. Loved the apples and onions with the pork.

While this was very good we thought the sauce lacked flavor. It needed some herbs. We added some fresh basil in our serving bowls. We also added some Parmesan. The meat balls were interesting with the addition of walnuts, and they did have herbs. I used fresh basil and thyme and dried oregano. i did omit the rosemary since son doesn't care for it.

Very good version of pimento cheese. I've made many different pimento cheese recipes and always use Dukes mayonnaise. I was afraid 3 tablespoons of mayo would make it to dry and it was a little but still a great pimento cheese.

We made this one in the instant pot. So delicious and warming on a cool fall night. Loaded with veggies.

My first recipe from Everyday Dorie, Herb-butter Chicken p. 123. So moist and delicious. My chicken was almost 6 1/2 pounds but was the smallest one I could find at my local market. I cooked for about an hour and half and it turned out perfect. My family and I almost devoured it.

This sandwich was amazing. I know I'll be making these again. Son doesn't like much cilantro but can stand a little, so he just added a few leaves on his. He said he could eat anything on a toasted baguette with mayo and Sriracha after trying this. We got the take and bake baguettes from Aldi which were perfect for this. Son couldn't stop snacking on the pickled veggies while we were making the sandwiches. Need to double the recipe for those next time. I made the quick pickles the day before and marinated my pork for about 4 hours.

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 used thick cut black pepper bacon in this recipe. Son and I enjoyed the bacon and garlic in this. It was a nice accompaniment to the Cheesy Spicy Breakfast Hash p. 39 For some reason hubby didn't care for them.

I used mushroom broth instead of vegetable broth. The cayenne, although a small amount, gave it a nice little kick. This was a delicious version of clam chowder that hubby, son and I all enjoyed on a rainy night.

While this had a good flavor it was a bit overwhelming to me. It was probably my fault though since I used about a pound of broccoli instead of 2 pounds and should have halved the sauce. Also it was salty and most of the ingredients in the sauce were a little sodium heavy I should have just omitted the salt.

Son said that this spicy hot honey would be good on chicken nuggets too. Honey and red pepper flakes heated up then allowed to simmer and cooled back down.

The gravy wasn't as spicy as I expected since you use a habanero in the tomato gravy. This was delicious and I served it as suggested with green beans and mashed potatoes. My family enjoyed it too.

Yummy but, I don't think I got my potatoes as done as I should have before adding to the foil packet, since they weren't done after 20 minutes in the oven. Also you really need paper thin carrots or they won't be done in 20 minutes either as I discovered the hard way. I didn't mind the firmer potatoes or carrots but had to cook hubby and sons longer. I didn't put carrots in either of their packets since they won't eat them cooked. I moved them to a plate before eating since I didn't want to accidentally eat any foil.

My supper tonight Crispy-Coated Oven Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges. Crispy and delicious but soft in the middle. I actually like mine a little firmer in middle but the crispy makes up for the softness. Don't judge I dip mine in ketchup.

Delicious with the Parmesan Minestrone. Instead of making the chili oil from the book I used some store hot chili oil.

Delicious, quick and easy supper. I used shredded cheese instead of grated and they didn't get quite as crisp as I would have liked. Also they were a bit on the salty side. Next time I'd grate the cheese finer. We ended up eating the soup with grilled cheese sandwiches which was delicious.

I made seven balls instead of four, omitted the cilantro since hubs and son don't like. Also forgot to add more green onions for garnish but this still made a quick and easy supper. I did mix my ball ingredients the night before to make faster after work. I had a little trouble with my wonton strips sticking together even though I added a few at a time and stirred between additions.

This one has an unusual dressing for a taco salad and doesn't call for cheese. It uses Cool Ranch Doritos hence the name. Daughter and I love cheese and I've never had a taco that didn't contain cheese but it really works without the cheese and other ingredients. My daughter said she'd eat this with me again anytime I want to make it.

Loved these and easy to start in food processor. Then I used them to make the breakfast sandwiches on page 19

Mussels are often hard to find here, but I lucked up and found a pound of precooked frozen ones at our local market for a very reasonable price. I added them in at the end just long enough to warm them up. I used tilapia for the fish. I couldn't find oil brined black olives, so I'd planned to sub some kalamata olives I had at home only to find they were spoiled, so I omitted them. We all enjoyed this one on a rainy Sat. night with toasted garlic bread for dipping.

These are delicious as a snack on in other recipes.

Tonight as part of our supper I made Braised collards with Parmesan-tomato broth p. 35 from Virginia Willis Secrets of the Southern Table. I loved the broth in this one and could easily drink it. The collards were delicious too.

Quick, easy, and delicious.

The pork chops were delicious. I had a pork loin I had cut into thicker sized chops and decided to use those instead of bone in chops. I browned in pan per authors instructions then instead of putting pan in oven I placed the chops on a baking sheet and continued with recipe. I doubled the recipe since there were 5 of us. The marinade gave a great flavor to the chops but none of us enjoyed the cooked down marinade as much on the chops after cooking. We decided a little of the cooked marinade went a long way.

Made 1/2 recipe of Pressure Luck's Pesto Risotto today for lunch. My mascarpone had gone bad so I topped with Parmesan instead. Also I got distracted and didn't do a quick release (natural release 7). I was afraid it would be mushy but it was perfect and still had a tiny bit of bite just like I like it. Delicious!

This is a quick and easy work night supper recipe. Delicious as well. I couldn't find the thick shredded Mexican cheese called for but it was still amazing. I could only find a big can of enchilada sauce and my son says he likes them saucier so I just used the whole can.

Great version of curry powder.

My son loves yellow curry and hasn't had it in awhile. That's what he always orders when we go to an Asian Fusion restaurant out of town and we haven't been in a long time. He said he saw one for the instant pot online so I did a search and found this one. I've made several of Karen's recipes and they always turn out great and this one was no exception. Son said it's as good as the one he orders and he wants me to make it again. He found some great precooked jasmine rice at Walmart for a great price so we used that instead of cooking our own. I also realized at the last minute I was out of curry powder so I made my own from a recipe online.

I thought these were going to be really good. They don't have a lot of flavor though. Maybe not enough vinegar. It uses very little rice vinegar. They're ok but I think I might try adding a bit more vinegar and maybe a pinch of sugar.

This one says you can leave at room temperature for at least an hour or up to 48 hours in refrigerator. I decided to make the day before I was planning on eating. I'm not sure why but I didn't care for the taste of the broccoli this way. I enjoy all the ingredients involved but somehow this didn't work for me taste wise in the finished dish. I kinda hate to give it a low score because it's not the recipe itself that doesn't work it's that I didn't enjoy the taste.

Son grilled these for our supper. We loved them.

I used the oven method instead of grilling. This was delicious. Moist and ooey gooey in the center.

I made two of the spreads for the grilled corn. This one and the Thai. I liked the Thai best and son the Morracan but they were both good .

Son and I enjoyed this one. We like trying new versions of hummus. I also made the cumin salt as suggested and it was a nice addition. I didn't cook the chick peas since I was unable to find dried at any of the stores I checked so I used canned. Two cans yielded a tiny bit more that the recipe called for and not wanting to waste them I just added them in.

Made a half recipe for my supper one night. I had cumin seeds but not coriander seeds so I used a smaller amount of ground coriander. I'll be making this again. Easy and delicious. Nice flavors from the lemon, chili powder and other spices.

Loved these. I made both the red version and the yellow.

Nice way to eat broccoli. I made just enough for me. I used panko for the bread crumbs and didn't make the tonnato dip.

I didn't like this one as good as I thought I would. Perhaps it was because I was unable to find fresh horseradish root and had to use some jarred chopped horseradish.

This was delicious. I cooked it in the instant pot then shredded it in my kitchen aid with the paddle attachment. We don't like our bbq real sweet so in addition to the Sweet Baby Rays sauce I added some ketchup and apple cider vinegar.

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

I thought this made a nice snack. Interesting version of French toast.

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.

Recipe made enough for hubby and I. We had with pink It made enough for hubby and I. We had with pink himalayan salt, strawberries, and maple syrup. Hubby hated them. I was on the fence. The salt definitely helped. Not a recipe I'd make again

I love trying new pimento cheese recipes. This one was delicious and a southern classic.

I used brown basmati rice and it took twice as long to cook as the recipe stated and I did have to add more water. It turned out delicious but my family said they prefer the Spanish rice their grandma made better.

delicious on the tortilla chips very spicy

We liked this one very much. Great snack. I used store bought tortilla chips.

marinated overnight, used boneless chicken thighs, jared za'atar instead of authors recipe, forgot to squeeze lemon juice on at end. Delicious, loved the spring onions.

This potatoes were indeed crispy and delicious too. I liked all the flavors -lemon, oregano, and a bit of cayenne. I'll be making them again.

Another spicy dish from this book and oh so delicious. We loved these spicy shrimp served on a toasted baguette. I did make a half recipe since it was for hubby and I only. I had mine with a salad which helped cool my mouth.
