Yippee!!! I LOVE winning! And since JAE is beating me right now in our CLuster Booking Challenge - I NEED to feel like I won something!:o
 
Made Pecan Crusted Chicken the other night. It was really good and really quick. I didn't make the sauce because The Furry Guy and I aren't sauce people. He drizzled a bit of honey over his. I ate mine plain.

I'm making the Artichoke Chicken nwith Roasted Potatoes tonight. I'll let ya know how it turns out.
It was DELICIOUS! And so easy.
 
I made the Skillet Lasagna tonight for dinner with some garlic bread. YUMMY! I used ground beef instead of the sausage because we had some. I am going to put this as a choice for my Main Dishes shows in the fall. Super easy & LOTS of people love lasagna! So far all of the recipes I've made from this cookbook & the Season's Best have been hits! Great job PC!!!
 
I received my 29 cookbook today. I went out to dinner tonight and now I'm stuffed. I'd love to read this thread and look at the cookbook, but food sounds disgusting right now.
 
Can't wait to get the cookbook!
 
I keep forgetting to add this one:DS (who is 3) and I made the Crunchy Whole Grain Chicken Bites this past weekend. We used the Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips. I put them in a ziploc bag, and had him smash them up with the meat tenderizer - he had a blast! Then we added the other ingredients, and he mixed it all up in the bag. He had so much fun helping - and I thought this would be a GREAT Kids in the Kitchen recipe!They tasted great too - something that kids would love! We had the Slaw with them, and used more Ranch Dressing for the dip for the Chicken Bites - it was a very tasty, healthy, kid friendly meal!
 
I made the Toasted Angel Hair Pasta W/Sausage & Peppers last night for a very very Italian bunch of Women!:cool: I had that much confidence in the recipe....they LOVED IT! It was on her deck, so I brought my electric burner & I used The 12 in. Executive Pan! Then at the end of the show, they had me show them all sneak peeks for next month....NOW they ALL want the cookware...:eek: LMAO...BTW 9 guests & the show is at 909.00 so far...:D :D :D

But since they are all friends & relatives, I'm thinking maybe the Mystery Host Show is looking good, I'm gonna run it by them at tomorrow nights show!;)

I love that recipe, it is delicious and a little unique... good to know it works in nonstick (made mine in my old stainless). Congratulations on your show--awesome!

I just bought the "original" flavor today to make these...I had the cheddar flavored ones in my hand at first, but wasn't sure how it would taste. Now I will have to try them with that flavor next time!
 
I made the Toasted Angel Hair Pasta the other night. My daughter NEVER eats pasta, she hates it. I made her try it and she ate 3 bowls of it!! It was soooo good! I completely agree tho, that you need the 12" skillet for this dish. I used a 10" (non-PC) pan and it was near overflowing in the end. But I recommend everyone make this dish, it was so yummy and light, I didn't feel tremendously fat after eating it :angel:

And it makes a lot... we had two adult and two child portions for dinner, and I think we had at least 2 if not 3 adult sized leftover portions. It would be awesome for a smaller show as there would be enough to go around.
 
It's been a couple months now...
