How to Cook a ribeye steak
This is the best skillet steak EVER. My advice would be to make it! And according to how you like your steak it doesn’t take that long. 10-13 minutes is a good medium!

easy no knead bread
I have never made bread before. I made this today and it was fabulous! I used a cup of whole wheat flour to up the nutrition and fiber. Next time I am going add rosemary! My husband and neighbor loved it!

loaded smashed potatoes
Mmmmmmmm! Mmmmmmm! Good! Such a hit with the whole family. My kids never go for seconds, let alone thirds but their little hands kept making their way over the dinner table to grab more of these. I made them as a side dish with BBQ grilled chicken and a tossed salad with ranch. Made my quick weeknight meal feel complete.

hot spinach and artichoke dip
Absolutely loved this recipe and plan to make it often. Some of these dips come out dry or tasteless but not Damn Delicious! This recipe starts with flavor! The only thing I changed was I used fresh spinach.
-Debra

carne asada
Absolutely delicious! Both my husband and I were very impressed. I will be making this time and time again. Thanks for another amazing recipe.

easiest lasagna ever
I gave up trying to make a good lasagne until I saw this recipe. Well, guess what! My husband and I LOVE the recipe! The only change I made was adding three cloves of crushed garlic to the meat sauce.

the perfect steak with garlic butter
The perfect steak. We both agreed it’s the best steak we ever had. Surprisingly simple. The butter is worth the chopping effort! Saved and will be repeated often.
-Pam

lemon butter scallops
I’ve made this many times and it never disappoints. Have some rice ready in the rice cooker, your asparagus broiling for alongside, and you’ll be in heaven.
-Jody

Grilled Chicken Kabobs
This is my new go-to recipe for chicken kabobs. The marinate with the chicken thighs is absolutely perfect! I’m having guests over tonight and can’t wait for them to try it!

Korean Beef Bulgogi
We order this from a local restaurant often because we love it and this was just as good… if not better… I’m pretty sure it was better…. Thank you for the recipe. I’m going to make it for company next time.

easy coq au vin
Tasted just as heavenly as it smelled! I made a half batch for just two of us, and the recipe halved really well. Next time I’ll double the carrots because they absorbed the sauce in the most wonderful way.

Roasted Leg of Lamb
I have done this recipe over 10 times and it is simply the best. The hasselback potatoes are also outstanding!

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas
We love these! It’s a monthly staple and what I give to families who need a meal for a meal train or in hard times. To serve along with it; I cut up a bowl of very thinly sliced red onions, chopped cilantro, and lots of cut up limes.
