Time-saver/15 recipes

This scrumptious shrimp dish tastes so good, it will make you completely forget about the overcooked breaded bits of what purports to be shrimp at Red Lobster.

First time I've paired pork chops with dried fruit. During braising the apricots and prunes plumped up and added a nice mellow fruitiness which paired with the tender pork perfectly.

These mini pizza muffins are quick-easy to make, and very tasty. They won't last long, kids and adults gobble them up in record breaking time. Great for a snack and they freeze very well (that is if you can get them into the freezer before someone eats them all!)

This recipe is easy, cheap, nutritious, and my four kids (age 1,2,4, and 5) all eat 2 or 3 of them each time I make it. The first time I made it, I had to double the recipe in a hurry because everyone ate so much. It's even good without sauce.

Absolutely delicious. First time I made an eggplant dip, and it was surprisingly tasty. The mixture of roasted bell peppers, eggplants, feta cheese, garlic and onion was so yummy and flavorful.

An easy and tasty classic Chinese dish. Slice potato, carrots and bell pepper into matchsticks, quickly stir-fry with a Chinese sweet-sour sauce. Serve with steamed rice.

If you're looking to make something quick, this succulent dish will satisfy your hunger in no time! But it will have you wanting seconds.

It's hard to resist any kind of cookies, such as these ones. They were buttery and delicious. Cranberries added some delicious sourness and sweetness, which perfectly balanced with the oatmeal cookies. Next time I may add some walnuts or even chocolate chips to give it a new twist.

The muffins came out super moist, soft in the inside, and golden-brown on the outside, they looked so inviting. Chunks of pink rhubarb and yellow apricots were in every bite. Great for breakfast, snack or any time during the day.

Next time make your own sauerkraut instead of store-bought, it's so easy to make, and there is no comparison between this two versions. Homemade one tastes a lot better, I just made my second bunch. I finished the first bunch within 3 days :-)

From the first time I made this fudge it was a hit! I had family and friends asking "When are you going to make more fudge?" And it's so easy I can make it anytime!

This 15 minute tomato soup was the first tomato soup we made, and it came out deliciously refreshing. Homegrown tomatoes and homemade vegetable stock certainly made the soup taste more flavorful.

Sweet baby bell peppers stuffed with a slightly spicy and garlicky mix of cream and jack cheese. Fairly easy to prep and only 10 minutes cooking time.

I make this soup every Halloween and is the "signal" to the family that the cool weather has arrived. I've been making it for 15 years now and out of all the soups I make, it is still everyone's favorite. Enjoy!

Creamy, rich and so flavorful. Didn't have pimento, used fresh sweet red pepper instead, nothing was sophisticated during the preparation, but the flavor was so impressive!

These chocolate chip coffee cookies are seriously delicious, and this time you don't have to worry about too much sugar, too high in lots of bad things. Because they are made with 100% whole wheat flour, applesauce and olive oil, not super sweet, and good for you.
