Cheeseburger Rice: Submitted by Sherry. “Cheeseburger goodness, and a hit with friends!!! A super easy mix of meat, rice, cheese and all the toppings! I mean, you can’t go wrong with Ketchup, right?!”
Simple Potato Soup: Submitted by Virginia. “An amazingly simple potato soup that can be altered at a whim for your tastes, and frankly, if I can cook it, anyone can!”
Sexy Mexi: Submitted by Ashley Navarre. “Simple, Delicious, hits a few food groups and has tortilla chips in the recipe. This is the only casserole my family will eat. I think it’s because of the name!”
Tequila Mockingbird: Submitted by Mary Poppins in Heels. “A drink for the literary elite, the tenured literature professor, and the novelist who needs a ‘tightener’ now and again.”
Pumpkin Cake: Submitted by Katie. ” A quick, easy and ridiculously good cake! For an added bonus, if you choose to be blasphemous and not frost, it actually borders on healthy, too!”
Gourmet Grilled Cheese: Submitted by Jen Homann. “This is the sandwich you look forward to having, but don’t have to be embarrassed about when your inlaws stop over just in time to catch you and their beloved son shoving it in your faces. (Come on, it has GOURMET in the title for pete’s sake!)”
Lighter Sesame Chicken: Submitted by Jenn. “A super fast and tasty sesame chicken recipe. If I can cook it and still wrangle 2 kids under 5, then it has to be easy!”
Slow Cooker Dijon Chicken: Submitted by Cathy E. “Umm, is this a trick question? It’s chicken. With honey dijon. Cooked in the slow cooker. And there’s some spinach, too.”
Lazy Crazy Chicken and Dumplings: Submitted by Lisa Ferrell. “My grandmother made the best chicken and dumplings, and in no time flat. Two weeks before she passed away, she gave me the recipe. Turns out, grandma was a bit on the lazy side. Luckily, the recipe didn’t die with her!”
White Trash: Submitted by Sugar Jones. “White chocolate bark with Cap ‘N Crunch, Froot Loops, and Trix!”
Sassy Frassy Chicken: Submitted by Gav Martell. “Another one from my book, Grill Interrupted. This recipe gets more compliments than just about anything I’ve ever cooked. People can’t believe how easy it is or how simple the ingredients are, considering how tasty a dish it is!”
Honey Bourbon Chicken: Submitted by Nona. “This is the easiest marinade I have ever made for chicken, and it adds a tremendous amount of flavor. And, if you are so inclined, you can do a shot while you make it. Bonus!”
