No Name Chicken with Roasted Red Potatoes
Sunday night I was trying to figure out what to cook in the crock pot because slow cooking is by far my favorite. I found Lipton recipe secret packet called Garlic and Herb. So I decided to use that. We ate it tonight for dinner and it came out really good.
Chicken:
3 chicken breast 2 packets of Liptons Garlic and Herb recipe secrets 1 onion chopped 2 lemons juiced 1 cup dry white wine...
Lasagna and Green Bean Casserole
Yum Yum Yum! I LOVE italian cooking, its my favorite. I made this one evening over the summer for Sean. The lasagna is really good because it is so easy to freeze so it takes a while but if you double the ingredients you can have a precooked meal you just gotta pop it in the oven. Here it goes. I make mine in steps, its all homemade.
I make my tomato sauce first, it makes about 4 cups:

Parmesan Crusted Tilapia and Garlic Pasta
This is so good and really easy to make. I like to use tilapia because its my favorite fish because its white meat and doesn’t really have that fishy taste. I didn’t go off of a recipe for this so I will just wing it, but I have a heavy hand for seasoning, so I know I put more seasoning then I’m about to say I did.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Create cheese mixture in a bowl,...
Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Tenderloin
This came out so good and tender. When I checked it in the crock pot a few hours later, my meat was already shredding itself. I think cooking with pork is my new favorite, it always comes out very tender in the slow cooker.
1 (2 pound) boneless pork loin, trim the fat.
1 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup of chicken broth

Double Crunch Honey Garlic Pork Chops!
I made this for dinner last week, it came out pretty good, the only thing is I would use more soy sauce next time or cut back on the honey, because it became very sticky extremely fast.
I used 6 center loin pork chops, well trimmed and cut into smaller pieces. Sift together: 1 cup flour 2 tsp salt 2 tsp black pepper 1 1/2 tbsp ground ginger 1 tbsp ground nutmeg 1 tsp ground thyme 1 tsp...
