Foil-Pack Bruschetta Chicken Bake recipe - I'm sure this would have worked just fine if I had an oven, but it was too much for my toaster oven. I ended up using a dish - chicken in bottom, stuffing/tomato mix on top, covered w/foil and baked. Very tasty. Easy to prepare. Would try it again.

How to Fold Plastic Grocery Bags - Awesome! I had my bags taking up a whole drawer and now they're taking up just a small area. It didn't take long to do and works on all sized bags (I even folded up the large target ones). Simply Brilliant idea.

Chicken Salad ~ ♥ this recipe. The ingredient combo is killer. Delicious ... I used chicken from a Publix Rotisserie chicken. I left out the hard boiled eggs and added some onion. I don't usually like celery in my food, but left it in and it was still delicious. I'll make this one again.

If you have grease to get rid of, just take tin foil and put it in a bowl. When grease hardens ball it up and throw it away! Tried this and of course it works. I put the bowl in the freezer so it would harden faster. Such a simple thing to make my life easier.

The Best Broccoli Salad - I had never had broccoli salad until I visited with my cousin in laws in New England. I fell in love and am trying to find the best recipe. This one was pretty close. Very simple and delicious. I used one bag of pre-cut broccoli, white balsamic, and instead of miracle whip I used Kraft Mayo (I'm not a Miracle Whip person). This one didn't call for raisins which some recipes do, but it was quick and delicious. A good way for me to get my veggies.

Storing sheets inside pillow cases. Did this one - such a great idea. I have underbed storage, so this keeps everything neat and orderly.

Lobster Tail w/lemon Curry butter. made this but used shrimp instead of the lobster. Delicious. Very quick and easy and quite tasty. Adjust the spice to your liking, I used a little more than the recipe called for.

Line baking pan with foil. Cut lemon into slices, put on bottom of pan, drizzle with 1 stick of melted butter. Sprinkle one pack of dried Italian seasoning on raw shrimp and toss. Put the shrimp on the lemon and butter, then put them in the oven and bake at 350 for 10-15 min. This was a quick easy meal and very tasty. Will be one of my go to recipes.

Ant Killer - tried this today. Had to find the boric acid which is kept behind the pharmacy counter. OK ... it works! I've been in a battle w/ants for weeks now, and this worked well. I found small plastic containers that I used my cropadile and made holes in the sides and top. The ants can get in, but my cats can't. I will say, this makes a large amount, so next time I'll cut it in half or maybe even less.

What a great idea for a 30th (40th, 50th, or 60th) birthday. ** made this for my brother's 50th. I did it in a flower pot instead of a box. It was a hit. I used a nerf ball to stick the lollypops in.

This is supposed to be the Best Steak Marinade EVER ... was very good. It made the steak very tender so would be good for cheaper cuts of meat. I think I'm going to try it on London broil next time. Also, if you're only marinating a couple of steaks, cut the recipe in half. This was too much for 2 steaks. I think this will be my go to marinade. PS .. I didn't use a blender just a whisk and it worked just fine.

Breakfast Tart Made this but followed the instructions for the large pan rather than individual. I work in a toaster oven, so used a smaller pan so mine are thicker. Really delicious, and love the thought that I'll have this to reheat for a quick breakfast during the week. Oh yeah ... I added bacon which made it even better. I would make this again and again.

Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Bake. Paleo! Easy and Delicious. The chicken stayed very juicy. I think I would kick it up a notch and add some more spice, maybe some pepper flakes. Loved it and will make again.

Grilled banana - how could you go wrong. These were fabulous. I didn't do them on the grill, but wrapped in foil and put in toaster oven. Came out perfect in my opinion.

jalapeno cheddar corn muffins - these were very good, and corn bread is not one of my favorite things. I used canned jalapeños and it worked just fine. Not too spicy and not dry at all. Great flavor and texture. Will do again.

Melissa Haley My mom made these for years and I just love them. The only thing she did different was used cream style corn instead of whole kernal

Nutella crescent rolls - OMG these are the easiest and wonderful. I've also added other stuff like marshmello, butterscotch chips, coconut - depends on what I have and how I feel.

Roasted Cauliflower - would do again. Healthy, easy, and tasty.

"Best Burger Recipe Ever with Secret Sauce" - It was OK. Not sure I liked the BBQ sauce in the burger.

! - not as simple as they look. Hardest part is getting the candy corn to stay in the oreo without the oreo breaking. It does take some coordination which I seemed to be lacking. They looked great and were a fun addition to Thanksgiving.

Crispy roasted chickpeas (garbanzo beans) - these were good and a healthy snack alternative. - for me, didn't replace chips but tasty just the same. You can make them sweet or savory.

Meatloaf - tasty but I like the lipton onion soup one better. I did follow the recipe to the letter and hubby liked it.

Bangin Good Shrimp - Lighter Copycat of Bonefish Grill Bang Bang Shrimp. Almost like the real thing. Would make again and again. Easy recipe.

mini hamburgers on waffle fries - this was a semi-fail for me. They were cute but I used frozen waffle fries and they were sort of mushy. Ended up throwing away the waffle fry and just sticking w/the burger. Might try again because they really are cute

Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak - simple, tasty - very balsamic tasting, so if you don't like that don't make it. I however do like balsamic.

chicken bundles - mine didn't look as pretty but they were very tasty. Would do again.

home made mini deep dish pizzas - these were quick and tasty. Liked that they used tortilla shells because I could use low carb ones.

marinated shrimp & artichokes - made some changes - left out the black olives, used motz instead of feta, and used chiopinno onions because I didn't have scallions on hand. Delicious. This will be a go to recipe for me - It's low carb and very tasty. Might try salad sized shrimp next time.

Pepperoni roll ups - these were pretty tasty and easy to make.
