What's in the New Weekday Dinners Done Set?

[dkgriff]

Does anyone have the new set of Weekday Dinners Done? I have the first set and use them all the time, was wondering if anyone would be willing to post what the recipes are in the new set? And any comments on any you have tried so far!

I just watched the DVD that came with the Changeover Kit ... the one that shows the new products and you can pause it when they are reviewing the recipe cards and see all the recipe names that are included with the new set.

My husband wants me to try the Barbeque Pork Shepherd's Pie first.

I like that there is a great variety. WEEKDAY DINNERS DONE around the world.

I made this 2 nights ago and OMG!!!! It is the absolute best, I will make this again and again!!! So very good!:thumbup:

I saw the recipe, not a big fan of ramen, do you think fresh or cooked linguine would work instead and decrease the water amount?

I don't use Ramen, either. I'm going to try it with Thai Kitchen Rice Noodles.

Thanks for sharing the names of the recipes!! Can't wait to get them - they all sound great to me. Especially the Orange Chicken one....love orange chicken! Anyone who has made it - can you tell me if has actual oranges in it, or just made with an oragne sauce..??

 

[LeslieSGI]

The entire recipe is posted in the thread Orange Chicken lo mein. It uses real oranges.​

Did you try it?? What were your thoughts? My husband's thoughts? Mine did not like it at al.

I made the Fiesta Chili Mac. It was AWESOME!!

 

[vgibsonrn]

Loved the chilli Mac. Will make a good party recipe.

 

[CAPCnewbie]

Where can i find these recipes? I really would like to try the stuffed peppers!! I dont believe we have this in Canada

We've been working our way through the recipes...there aren't many that at least someone didn't want to try. Here are my family's reviews, so far:

Italian Stuffed Bell Peppers (DCB)--Good. Not as good as Mom's, though. Bell Peppers also fit nicely in the fluted stone.

Fiesta Chili Mac (DCB)--YUM---and super quick to assemble.

Orange Chicken Lo Mein (12" Skillet)--Yum. (made 1/2 batch)...not as good re-heated.

Spinach & Cheese-Stuffed Manicotti (DCB)--YUM!! Very nice...a surprise "favorite".

Shredded Pork Tostadas (DCB)--I loved this one. The kids didn't like it because of the spinach.

Lemon Pepper Chicken Divan (12" Skillet)--disappointed with this one. We expected to love it because we love the Lemon Pepper Rub. Probably won't make it again.

It's so fun to have new recipes!! (and to get to write off dinner!!) :chef:

Fiesta Chili Mac my husband loved. I loved the ease of making it, but was not a big fan of the taste. Orange Chicken Lo Mein was fantastic! We both loved it.Shredded pork tostadas we both enjoyed. I had more pork and cabbage slaw than I had tostada shells, so we ate the left overs on buns for pulled pork sandwiches.

Loved the chilli Mac. Will make a good party recipe.

I thought the exact same thing! I am going to be doing this one this winter I think. Haven't tried any of the new recipes yet, it's been too hot to cook..but now the weather is becoming more crisp so I think I'll venture into them over the next few weeks!

 

[mountainmama74]

I made the Orange Chicken Lo Mein last night and it was not a hit in my house. It had too much orange and vinegar I think! I'm going to try it again and use a little less of those and see how they feel!

 

[shelly.nurse]

I don't use Ramen, either. I'm going to try it with Thai Kitchen Rice Noodles.

Did you ever try it with the rice noodles? I have a customer that has celiac disease, so I was thinking of trying it at my open house next week.

Shelly - it works great with Rice Noodles. And Rice noodles (NOT rice pasta) cook almost as quickly as ramen. You will need to add a little more liquid though - they soak up more. I used Thai Kitchen thin noodles.
