NDR: found two good summer recipes

[tarheels]

I had friends over on Saturday and these were huge hits!  Maybe you could use them for this weekend.  How crazy is it that it's already Memorial Day?!

ETA - mrs.jacinthe , I made those chicken packets for dinner a couple weeks ago - DH and MIL really liked them!

[mrs.jacinthe]

Excellent! I was pleasantly surprised by it.

Also, that Reese's pie looks amazing. HOly moly.

Oh, I think that reads like I didn't like it - not at all - I was just so exhausted by the time I sat down to eat my packet at like 10 pm that I don't have any memory of it

Thanks for sharing. I think I might make both of these this weekend. Yum!

Ignore any references to parchment paper folded just so and just roll the dang things up in foil like a sane person lol.

Oh that looks like a ton of work but kind of sounds awesome. I used to make an italian chicken one with sliced potatoes but, again, it was so much work. It'd have been faster if I had a little potato slicer.

It's no work at all.  It's like 5 minute prep, max.  Buy pre-sliced chicken tenderloins and frozen veggies and dump them in a packet.  It takes longer for my oven to preheat than to do the recipe.

Not that you need it, but invest in a mandolin.  They're a lifesafer in the kitchen.  Mine's just the $10 one from WM and it does a really pretty good job!

Those look yummy! Thanks!

[emoflamingo]

Now I want that italian chicken so I think I'll get one lol.

Thanks! I have to try these out. H would love the PB one for sure.

I found a good shrimp pasta recipe (like a better spin on the overdone pasta salad), I have plans to make it tomorrow and I'll post if it's good.
