Amazing Recipes Anyone Can Make
Brown Sugar Pineapple Chicken Brown sugar, pineapple juice and soy sauce make a sweet, tangy glaze for these bite-sized chicken pieces.

Firecracker Salmon Firecracker Salmon bakes with a sweet-hot glaze made from hot sauce, brown sugar, honey, soy sauce and lime. Garlic and ground ginger add flavor without any chopping beyond a few cloves and the green onion garnish. The sauce goes on in two stages. Set half aside before you […]
Roasted Red Pepper Shrimp Linguine Roasted red peppers blend with cream, broth and garlic to make the sauce for this shrimp linguine. Crumbled feta goes on at the end, adding a salty, tangy finish. A drained jar of peppers saves the time of roasting and peeling fresh ones. Blend them […]
