DH always asks me to make enchiladas...not to toot my own horn but they are pretty yummy.
That's just about all I'm good at making though. I make decent chicken all together, it's never dry but it's really not healthy either. Cookies are hit or miss. Italian food is just miss.
Does anyone request or rave about certain recipes/dishes you make?
You might also enjoy...
-
Ditto on the enchiladas, only my best are chicken enchiladas.
-
Someone at work loves it when I bring baked goods in.
The DH loves when I make the herb crusted lamb for Easter.
-
DH loves when I make sticky rice and beef waterfall. Or maybe I just imagine he likes it lol, I can't get enough of that stuff!
-
My friends and coworkers love my baked goods, especially my "apple pie bars" that are actually pretty simple and hardly require any ingredients.
-
@anonysquire: What is this sticky rice and beef waterfall? I'm intrigued!
I make the best homemade pizza and burgers!
-
Matzo ball soup. Dh prefers his moms but everyone else in the world loves it.
-
@serendipity: I think it is a Thai dish, my friend went on a mission to Thailand and when he came back he made it for me and I fell in freaking love. It is just really spicy beef stuff. OMG now I need to make it lol.
-
I make awesome chili. I have a few different ways I make it, but it's pretty much a staple once Fall hits. I even have a Christmas party every year where I serve 6 different chilis.
I also make a delicious chicken parm and carne asada.
-
Okay all of this sounds good--so from here out share the recipes (if you'd like).
My enchiladas are pretty basic but made with chicken. I cook the chicken with garlic, cumin, salt, pepper and olive oil then I add a little bit of diced jalopenos (not too spicy but adds a little kick) and I use warm corn tortillas dipped in red enchilada sauce, of course rolled with the shredded chicken and covered in Mexican cheese, the rest of the enchilada sauce and olives.
-
@bree72: Ooh I've finally mastered chicken parm but it's usually so time consuming! I make garlic butter cheddar chicken which my DH likes more and is easier (it's just chicken dipped in melted butter with garlic, then dipped into a cheddar/parmesan/bread crumb mix and baked)
-
@anonysquire: random Q, are you LDS?
People love my cinnamon rolls, I've been told they're as good as cinnabon, but I don't know whether that's a good thing or not cause I've never tried a cinnabon! I get begged to make them at least once a week.
I've also got a chicken broccoli casserole type thing that people always ask for my recipe for. I'm not sure if that counts as "raving" or not though!
-
A couple of things...asparagus lasagna, tilapia fish cakes and roasted asparagus with a balsamic brown butter dressing, peanut butter and Nutella cookies, and sweet potato rolls.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: Asparagus with balsamic brown butter dressing sounds so yummy!
-
My chili and my banana bread:) I am a pretty good cook actually not to braaaag;) I can throw down in the kitchen. I can't make many sweets though:/ no one ever raves about my cookies-eveerr
-
@HeatherlovesKenny: It's delicious!

The only thing I do differently is use olive oil instead of spray and take them out a few minutes earlier.
-
Some things everyone love are my macaroni and cheese, cheddar biscuits, brownies, bread, and pancakes. I love to cook for other people!
-
DH loves my indonesian peanut saute!!
Oh, and my GF almond butter brownies are to die for!! :):)
And my GF "pound cake" yummmu. -
Here's where I brag: My cooking is stinking amazing. It's the only thing I feel 100% confident about every time I do it. I am asked to host every family event because they are looking to eat up my goodies.
The thing I am asked to make every single time though, is the easiest recipe in the entire world. Buffalo Chicken Wontons with gorgonzola sauce. -
@junebugmama: OMG neeeeeed the recipe. Buffalo chicken is my favorite EVER!
-
@junebugmama: that buffalo chicken recipe sounds delish please share recipe!
-
@Coco Bee: @belleoftheballe:
Buy wonton wrappers in the produce section of the grocery store. Take 2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts and shred them with a fork. Combine shredded chicken with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2cup of Franks Wings Sauce (in hot sauce section). Then take wonton wrapper wet the edge all the way around. Add a 2tbsp of mixture to center of wrapper and seal the edge with fingers. Fry in veggie oil until light brown. Sauce: Simmer 1/4 cup heavy cream add 1/2c crumbled gorgonzola and simmer until thick (you may want to add more gorg if you want it thicker)This will make enough for a whole party. If you want to just make them for the fam 1 chicken breast will do. People flock to our house for these things. Great for football Sundays!
-
@junebugmama: ohgosh that is sooo unhealthy and sooo delicious. THANK YOU. I will have to try this soon
-
@Coco Bee: Oh it's not good for your health, but it's good for the soul
-
@junebugmama: yum!! We always make crab wontons on new years eve, DH loves them but I bet he'd be crazier for buffalo chicken wontons!
-
@TurtleDoves: your post made me lol!
-
@Penny Lane: Yes I am!
-
People love my cheese ball (my grandma's awesome recipe) and my chocolate chip cookie dough brownies. Here's the brownie recipe: http://www.browneyedbaker.com/2011/07/21/chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-brownies/
I cheat and use Ghirardelli brownie mix and it's still amazing.
-
@anonysquire: awesome! with a friend who went on a mission... i figured it was a pretty good guess!
-
@Penny Lane: Good guess
Are you too?
-
@anonysquire: I am indeed!
-
my hawaiian meatballs, my healthy vegetable/chicken mexican lasagna, cauliflower-cheese soup, buffalo chicken salad, a marinated pork tenderloin, and pork lettuce wraps. All regularly requested! I started keeping an excel file of all the recipes my husband likes so that when I don't know what to make for the week, I just go to the list and go, "oh yeah, that sounds good!"
-
@blackbird: Excel file.. I like the way you think. I should do that. I made this absolutely amazing lentil soup for the first time a few weeks ago (with curry powder and coconut milk.. mmmmm) and it's starting to be a hit.
-
I have a pamesean ranch chicken recipe that is always requested by dinner guest, otherwise for parties I have a jalapeno popper dip that is a hit, as well as a couple desserts!
-
@jojogirl, I have a recipe for curry lentil soup that I've been DYING to make, but the lentils in my fridge went bad. If i didn't keep a list, I would constantly be forgetting what I made that is worth keeping!
-
Yummy!
My chili chicken tacos! Which are SO easy! Also my roast, mashed potatoes, summer salad & triple bean bake with bacon.
-
DH loves my chicken enchiladas, but I think my best dishes are my chicken parmesan (my favorite dish ever!) and mac and cheese. I make a lot of different mac and cheeses, but my very favorite is proscuitto mac!
-
You guys are all making me so hungry, even though I just had lunch.
@jojogirl 's cauliflower soup and @blackbird 's lentil soup sound awesome. I love soup.
@FutureMrsMcK 's asparagus lasagna sounds delish too!I really need to start making more things from scratch. Hoping when I'm at home with future LO, I'll have time to start experimenting.
-
Chicken enchiladas, anything Italian, chicken tamale pie, and something we call "Cal-tacos" (taco calzones). He likes pretty much everything I make though, with a few exceptions of new recipes that I tried that I didn't like either.
-
i made some awesome guac last night that our friends were raving about.
