Try it, you'll like it

I've made some new recipes for dinners lately. They've all been really good, so I'd thought I'd share. I 'm always on the lookout for new simple easy recipes that I can make with things I already have in my kitchen. So, if I don't have some things the recipe calls for, I just leave it out and hope for the best it will still taste fine! ;) (As long as it's not a key ingredient:) 

Honey Glazed Chicken. I left out the pepper flakes, because of course I didn't have any. I had fresh orange juice on hand so that's what I used. I thought it was deliciously sweet. I could totally taste the honey and the orange juice in the chicken. Delicious. 

Ranch House Crock Pot Pork Chops with 

Delicious, Creamy Mashed Potatoes(I have to say I was shocked when I first saw the box of Philly Cream Cheese as the secret-key ingredient in the Pioneer Woman's mashed potatoes. She's right though. She knows of what she speaks. -I had a 5 lb. bag of yukon golds, and it worked out perfectly to have so many mashed potatoes for the meal below as well.)

Zesty Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken

(we made quesadillas with the leftovers.)

Tonight, I made Beef & Bean Chimichangas. Let me tell you, I was IMPRESSED. SO GOOD. SO DELICIOUS. AND JUST TOO EASY. I was so happy it was so good, because I had made a batch of chimis for the freezer too and had a little bit of the beef & bean mix leftover that I just threw in a bag to freeze as well. I didn't double the recipe and I was able to make 4 chimichangas for dinner, make 4 to freeze for a meal later, and a little bit of mix left over too. I love recipes that makes so much food! I left out the chili powder and green peppers because I didn't have any. It didn't matter. I thought this meal was so delicious. I am going to be making these chimichangas all the time.

Here's some new recipes I'm looking forward to making this weekend:

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip (or Cinnamon Chip) Cookies

Chicken Parmigiana 

And soon

Apple Smothered Pork Chops (sounds interesting!)
