Heather's favorites

Hello...

I don't think I was on here last May, so this will be my first "favorites" post! Wahoo!

My favorite salad Asian Chicken Salad http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/07/asian-chicken-salad.html

Jenn posted this Garlic Basil Shrimp and I have made it a bunch and used chicken and spinach in it and it is still so fab... http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/08/garlic-basil-shrimp.html

Mel's Chocolate Chip Cookies are my all time fav cc cookie. I have even substituted the flour for whole wheat pastry flour and they still are so yummy. http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/08/mels-award-winning-chocolate-chip.html

My favorite way to cook veggies is roasted http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/07/roasted-broccoli-roasted-chicken.html

My sister's Monterrey Chicken is so versatile and easy, I make it all the time and change it up here and there to make it last for 2-3 meals http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/07/monterrey-chicken.html

I have made Jenn's Mom's Whole Wheat Bread lots of times http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/05/100-whole-wheat-bread.html and I love the sandwich bread recipe for a lighter loaf http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/03/honey-whole-wheat-sandwich-bread.html And Tiffany's view on how to make better wheat bread opening my world to dough enhancer and wheat gluten and I am forever grateful for that! http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2008/08/tips-for-better-whole-wheat-bread.html

And I love Le Madeleine's Tomato Basil Soup http://recipestop.blogspot.com/2007/12/lamadeleines-tomato-basil-soup.html


And that is more than 5...oh well...I am an overachiever, what can I say?

I also wanted to add that if any of you are Enrichment Leaders in your ward, I have a blog of HFPE ideas and random thoughts at http://thebeautifulbasics.blogspot.com/

Happy Eating!

Dessert Favs from the Farm

Oh my Goodness! I must say that just about any dessert is my favorite! Here are a few that I make quite a bit . . .

Malaskas
Caramel Apple Crisp
Better than Canadian Sex
With a few additions! I add chopped nuts to the crust and do a layer of vanilla pudding, too!
Texas Sheet Cake

I am really sad to say that I could sit down and eat each of these desserts, in there entirety by myself. I'm gaining weight just thinking about eating them! Thanks for all your contributions -- I love this blog and am at a total loss for what to fix for dinner when my computer is down!

request: favorite desserts

Michelle has spoken. She would like a favorite desserts post! Hop to it!

Michelle's personal favorites from this fabulous recipe blog.

These are not in any kind of order

-Cajun Chicken Linguini
-Tomatillo Burritos
-Carmelized Garlic Chicken
-Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas
-Sweet and Sour Chicken

I think favorite desserts need to be a separate category!

request: favorites

So, I made a request last May for everyone to list their favorite recipes. I got a whopping TWO responses {other than mine.} Meggs and Kristin are exempt from this second request. Will you create a post {labeled favorites} and link to your top 5 recipes from the site? They can either be yours or one you found on this blog. Pretty please?

Farm Favorites!

I can say "amen" to the other favorites already listed! I have really enjoyed the variety of recipes and good ideas from the blog! Keep 'em coming! Here are a few of our favorites down here on the farm!

Pasta Melissa One of my favorites!
Dutch Babies Zoe can eat 1/2 of the 9x13 pan on her own and would eat them EVERY morning for breakfast!
Chicken Chowder with Chipolte Nate's absolute favorite soup and one of the few "leftovers" he will eat!
Hawaiian Haystacks Tanner would eat this for dinner every night if I would let him!!

faves faves faves

Mandy seems to have already posted three of my faves (spicy creamed corn, tomatillo burritos, and barley soup), so here are the other two:
cajun chicken linguine
mediterranean pasta

for good measure, a few others I really like:

baked french toast
tortilla soup
sweet snack mix

Mandy's favorites

I'll go first. And I'll break the rules, because I want to. I have too many favorites, so I broke them down into a few categories:

Entrees:
italian baked chicken
tomatillo burritos
tortellini soup
chicken parmesan
Brookie's ziti
barley soup

Sides:
spicy creamed corn
Pancheri cornbread
cheddar bay biscuits

Treats:
brownie bites
homemade oreos
whole wheat zucchini bread
lemon-blueberry muffins

So, this little recipe experiment has been going strong for over a year now and I have to say, I love it! We have so many things to choose from and I know I've found new favorites along the way. Now for the request. Sometimes the sheer number of recipes is overwhelming and it's hard to find a really great meal. I think we should all create a post with our top 5 favorite recipes from the blogs and include the links, using the tag 'favorites'. What do you all think?
