Pork, Veal, or Chicken Schnitzel

This is also the way I was taught by MIL, whose family ran a Gasthaus in Bavaria. Deelish. Thanks for posting this! — CheapThrills Nov 14, 2009

Make-Ahead Twice-Baked Potatoes

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BeachGirl  

These are great! I make variations sometimes (green onion, a little leftover bacon, different cheese). Always seem to have them in the freezer when I need them. Relatively high protein (for potatoes!). — CheapThrills Oct 17, 2009

5 Ingredient Baked Potato Skins

Posted by Dawnab  

These were great even though I oopsed. I tossed the centers in with the rest, not "reserving for another use." These came out more like small twice-baked. The flavor was definitely there! Will definitely try again as skins. — CheapThrills Oct 16, 2009

Siesta Fiesta Pie

Posted by Amber Dawn  

I liked the flavor, but it was a bit watery at the bottom. DH didn't like the cornbread on top. (Not a TRUE Southerner.) I would leave out the olives for my fam's taste next time, but it was good. — CheapThrills Oct 16, 2009

Jalapeno Poppers

Posted by Geema  

Oh, MAN! I fried in a bit of oil, rather than deep frying. Drained really well on cake racks over paper towel. These froze nicely, then reheated at 350 deg for about 10 min or so. Easy, peasy! — CheapThrills Oct 16, 2009

I used a non-stick grill pan and just a spritz of olive oil. Deelish. Thanks for this simple one. — CheapThrills Oct 16, 2009

Honey Teriyaki Salmon

Posted by erinBOberrin  

UPDATE: Made this again, with garlic, and baked it at 350 for about 20 minutes. I used a 2.25# filet, and only marinated it for 20 minutes. We liked it much better this way. Thanks! ORIGINAL REVIEW: I microwaved these, and they were a tad... — CheapThrills Sep 12, 2009

Chocolate Chip-Oat Pancakes

Posted by ratherbeswimmin'  

Wow! Easy to fix on a busy morning, and deeeeelish! I feel good about the oats, and they don't make the cakes heavy at all. Very light and fluffy. Doubled the recipe (but not the oil) for the 4 of us, and there's one large one leftover for ME.... — CheapThrills Aug 23, 2009

Marvellous Mini Meatloaves (With Options!) OAMC

Posted by * Pamela *  

I made the bbq version, and used dry bread cubes. A great stretcher. Next time, I would cut the cubes smaller, and add less water, I think. These were awfully loose and a bit greasy, but I think that was the quality of the meat. I used 2# ground... — CheapThrills Aug 16, 2009

Chicken Pepper Skillet (Diabetic Friendly)

Posted by Annacia  

I make this w/out the garlic and mushrooms, and adding chili powder. I use the parsley, but you can sub cilantro. I serve this w/tortillas or seasoned rice for the guys; for me, it's very low carb and very filling w/out the starch. Thanks for... — CheapThrills Aug 10, 2009

Just Like Loaded Baked Potatoes/Cauliflower (Low Carb)

Posted by Helping Hands  

The whole fam loved this! I did not try to pretend this was a potato dish. I cut the cauli into bite-sized pieces and nuked 8 min till cooked but still firm, then drained and mixed this up. I gave the guys the option of having this as a chilled... — CheapThrills Jul 5, 2009

Southwestern Corn Chowder

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by Dreamer in Ontario  

Made as written. It was bland (fam does not like Tabasco), even with fresh limes. So I added S&P and chili powder, but it was still bland. Easy to make, but short on flavor. Maybe some chopped green onion on top, or some green chiles, for the... — CheapThrills Jun 30, 2009

Chicken Taco Casserole (oamc)

Posted by Tish  

Sorry I haven't rated this before now. Great to make a few for the freezer. My guys love this, and adding a fresh salad makes it a full meal. When chicken quarters go on sale for .39, I Crock them up and this is one of the top recipes I use... — CheapThrills Jun 28, 2009

Mexican Cornbread

Posted by Vicki in Kansas Brown  

I've made this for a few years, and it is wonderful with tomato soup for a quick dinner. I omit the jalapeno for my wimpy guys. I use small pans so it's almost like a loaf. You can make this ahead without baking, freeze, then thaw and bake! I... — CheapThrills May 15, 2009

Healthy Pie Crust

Posted by cwambeam  

I have used this recipe many times, and just now remembered to review it! Love it, but we cut the salt. I never take the time to chill and roll; just pat in the pan for a nice bottom crust. Thanks. — CheapThrills May 5, 2009

Crock Pot Thai Chicken Thighs

Posted by KelBel  

Delicious blend of flavors. Easy to make in the Crock. I used chicken breasts (cut in half) instead of thighs, and they came out moist. Also, I used fresh lemon juice, b/c I didn't have lime. I would prefer lime next time, though. Served with... — CheapThrills May 5, 2009

No Time to Wait Crock-Pot Lasagna

Posted by Likkel  

My family loved this! I doubled the recipe for a 6-quart crock pot, b/c I was expecting guests. I also used cottage cheese, which I normally use for lasagna. The guests didn't show up, so I froze the leftovers, and they reheat well after... — CheapThrills May 5, 2009

Cheap Daily Shower Spray Cleaner

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by AmericanLadybug  

I really like this, but the first use made the shower floor slippery. Not sure why. A quick rinse fixed that, though. Next time I think I'll use the lemon-scented dishwasher rinse. Thanks. — CheapThrills Apr 16, 2009

Sweet Salsa Dump Chicken - OAMC

Posted by Tish  

I must admit I was a little skeptical. But this was really good, and we all liked it. I used bits of various jams and jellies to equal 8 ounces, so "fruity" would describe it. I used mild salsa, and boneless, skinless breasts. The sauce... — CheapThrills Apr 13, 2009

Shanghai Chicken Meatballs

Posted by Grammy Charlotte  

Nice flavor, and low-carb, to boot! These fit well in my eating plan, and are easy to make. The boys loved them, too. I used up some ground chicken breast I already had, so prep was even easier. Will definitely make again. — CheapThrills Nov 21, 2008
