Lemon Oregano Chicken Skewers

I'm giving these Chicken Skewers a 5 out of 5. They were delicious, very tender and cooked up beautifully. These would be fabulous served with a sauce, but we enjoyed them on their own and served them simply with some flavored rice and a vegetable. Definitely a keeper!

Potato Chip Chicken recipe review and new recipes added

There are many ways that you can make this Potato Chip Chicken recipe a bit healthier. Instead of using melted butter, you could brush the chicken with olive or canola oil. Certainly instead of potato chips, you could use baked chips or even pretzels. All in all though, this recipe is very tasty, has a great texture, and cooks up perfectly. I give this a 5 out of 5. Enjoy!

Chicken Jambalaya recipe review and new recipes

We recently enjoyed this Chicken Jambalaya recipe for dinner. The flavors are great, though you could certainly kick it up a notch by adding some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper. We have the keep the spices down here due to some sensitive stomachs in the family.

I'd give this recipe a 4.5 out of 5, good flavor, easy to prepare, the only issue being that the vegetables were not done in the time called for. I had to increase the cooking time considerably to get the vegetables to cook. Definitely good though and worth putting on your menu plan!

Tiramisu Bundt Cake review and new recipes

Recently I made this Tiramisu bundt cake. I have to make a confession here, I prefer homemade cake over box cake. My daughter on the other hand, prefers the box. This recipe uses a box. Because of my biast opinion, I have decided to give this cake a 3.5 out of 5, let me tell you why:

1) Easy, it's a box cake, a pint of coffee ice cream, and some eggs. Simple stuff.

2) The cake does taste like coffee. How couldn't it with a pint of coffee ice cream! :)

3) The tiramisu part I disagree with. There's too many elements missing, and believe me, I know, I love tiramisu! I think this really should have just been called coffee bundt cake.  I did add a dusting off cocoa powder on top of the glaze, but that still didn't cut it.

Overall, this is good, but again, I'm not a box cake person and it was overly soft to me. Good flavor though, so if you like really soft cakes, you'll like this! Oh and just so you know, I didn't follow the frosting instructions, instead I "painted" on a simple powdered sugar glaze with a pastry brush, let it dry, then added a glaze flavored with instant espresso.

Spiced Pear Bread and some new recipes

Before I give you the link to our newest recipes, let me tell you about this pear bread that I tried recently. I'm giving this a 5 out of 5 stars for the following reasons:

Recipe review: Spiced Pear Bread

1) Molasses. I didn't have any and didn't want to go to the store, so I used honey. I also left out the nuts.

2) Very easy to make and delicious!

A very tasty quick bread. I used pears that weren't completely ripe, they were still quite firm. I actually think that was very helpful in this recipe as the chunks were highly visible in the final result but perfectly tender and soft when you eat it. Yum! (Visit the link above for the original recipe or you can see my adapted version called Honey Pear Bread.)

Chocolate sauce recipe review and new recipes

We do have some new recipes for you this week, but first I want to share a review on a recipe I tried. I'm giving this a 4 out of 5 stars for the following reasons:

Recipe review: Chocolate Sauce

1) Corn syrup. I'm not really crazy about using corn syrup. But I did, and I survived.

2) Pretty easy to make, no complicated instructions.

3) Most importantly, everyone is eating it. Hubby loves ice cream for dessert. This recipe made enough to fill an empty pancake syrup bottle, I just keep it in the fridge. He pops open the top and heats it in the microwave for 20 seconds and pours it over his ice cream.

4) Thick, definitely not runny like Hershey's syrup.

Overall a pretty good recipe. if my family's happy with it, so am I. :) Have you made one of our recipes and would like to share your review? Send it to me and I'll share it on this blog!
