I am so excited!! I just ordered the DCB for myself. This is my kit enhancement month! Wahoo! I also got the trifle bowl and the torte pan set and a whole bunch of other things that I just want so bad I can't wait anymore! ha, ha! :)

So...what are your all-time favorite DCB recipes? I know there's a file here with them and there's a ton to try, but which ones are the must-do recipes that win over your families and are hits at your shows?
 
Fave recipe for the DCB would have to be the chicken fajitas hands down!
 
I love making the 30-minute chicken...so easy, and gives me time to get the rest of the meal put together without being in so much of a hurry. I "cheat" and buy the preseasoned chicken from our local grocery store. They have a lemon-pepper one that is REALLY good...just spritz some oil on the inside, set the chicken in it and away you go. :)
 
Hey Amanda, I just put in my first KE order too! It's so awesome isn't it!

I didn't order the DCB, but I did order a TON of stuff... I had alot of $PC to spend (and I still have some over for SO and Catalogs :) ANyway, I don't have any DCB recipes for you, but I had to share too!

Wow! You're going to have fun opening stuff too!

It's like Christmas, isn't it? I am just so excited! :)
 
The White Chicken Chili from the new SBRC is my new favorite DCB recipe!
 
I kinda made one up for myself one day, but we make it at least once a week now!

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 boxes of Rice A Roni (none of the varieties that require milk)
4 tbsp of butter
4 c water

Prepare Rice A Roni according to the microwave directions. When you get to the step where you add the seasonings, add your chicken breasts and microwave for 30 mins.

Not only will everything come out just right, but the chicken is seasoned perfectly! And, if you have some broccoli, throw in a couple florets and your dinner is complete in 1 dish! My family ADORES this recipe and it's simple enough for hubby to make on days I have shows. Plus, it doesn't heat up the oven on summer months, but could be done in the oven in the winter months too.
 
Amanda~

My favorite is the 30 minute chicken and the fajitas....The turkey micro chili is REALLY GOOD and easy too!


Jackie~

That sounds GREAT!! I just saved it to my files for the DCB.
 
I have to say I couldn't wait for my KE (which starts this month as well!!), and I ordered the DCB about a month ago, but I use it ALL the time, I love the fajitas and 30 minute chicken as well! I'm going to try the 10 minute pork tenderloin, just haven't gotten to it yet!
 
Can you believe I haven't seen the fajita recipe? Where can I find it?
