Pork Chop & O'brien Potato Bake

Posted by Rollin in the Dough!  

This was easy, inexpensive and best yet, uses things I regularly have on hand. I love O'Brien potatoes, but my husband hates peppers and onions, so I used plain cubed potatoes. I also used cream of mushroom soup, instead of cream of celery, since... — MamaJen Nov 24, 2009

Hot Cocoa for One

Posted by Charlotte J  

This was nice. I made it as directed this time, but since I used Ghiradelli's sweet cocoa, it was a bit too sweet. I'll cut the sugar in half, next go 'round. Thanks for the delicious recipe! — MamaJen Oct 12, 2009

Coconut Cookies

Posted by liz timm  

Delectable! A nice soft cookie, with good coconut flavor. I did add about a 1/4 cup cream of coconut, as suggested by another reviewer and it brought the dough together nicely. My cookies needed 11 minutes, but that may be an oven variation.... — MamaJen Oct 6, 2009

Caramelized Baked Chicken Legs/Wings

Posted by djmastermum  

This is such a hit in my family. I make it as the recipe says, but I do remove some of the cooking liquid with a turkey baster to help it carmelize. I also cook ribs this way. I've also shared this recipe with several friends and they all rave... — MamaJen Feb 20, 2009

Homemade Mayonnaise

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by BeachGirl  

This was a quick, easy mayo recipe that came together easily. I used cider vinegar, rather than white and it was perfect. I found that during the blending, I needed to stop and stir the mixture, so the oil didn't sit on top. I think that's my... — MamaJen Jul 6, 2008
