what was the last you tried ?

was it good ?

was it simple to make ?

The other night, I tried the recipe on the back of my biscuit box. Ultimate chicken fingers. It was fairly simple to make..about 3 bowls to clean afterwards. I didn't like the fact it took 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese..that was pretty expensive to me. I only used about 1/4 cup and it still came out tasty. My teen son thought they were good as well.

Not usually. I think once I made cheeseburger rice off the minute rice box. DH liked it but the kids didn't and I wasn't crazy about it. It just reminded me of hamburger helper or something and I hate that crap

The Campbells soups ones are usually good! My Mom souped everything, so they remind me of her cooking.......

I have and they usually turn out very good. My all time favorite was a pumpkin cream crunch pie from the back of a jello pudding box. It was basically vanilla pudding, cool whip, pumpkin, spices, mini choclate chips and almond pieces. . .OMG! It was great because I don't like traditional pumpkin pie. I have always like the Impossible Pie ones (I think that's what they are called) from the Bisquick box. I haven't made that in a long time though.

Yes! I just tried the recipe on the back of a bag of butterscotch morsels. It was oatmeal butterscotch cookies. They were delicious. My husband has declared these are his favorite now.

I do occassionally if they sound good. One of my favorites is the Chicken Cheese enchiladas on the back of the Old El Paso Green Chile Enchilada Sauce. Also, the Oatmeal Cookies on the Quaker box (except I use chocolate chips instead of raisons) and the cornbread on the back of the Quaker Yellow Cornmeal box.

A week or two ago I made a recipe from the back of a bag of frozen shrimp, it was shrimp, asparagus, and fettucine. It was beyond yummy
But both the shrimp and asparagus were on sale and they're not the sort of things that are in my normal grocery budget so it may be a looooooong time till we lick the sauce of that dish off our lips again.
However..... dh reminded me how good fresh asparagus tasted when we had a bed of the good stuff many moons ago so I have been thinking of putting in a bed this year. Too bad it takes 3 years before we eat it ;-)

I would love to have the recipe for the shrimp/asparagus. I have only had aparagus one time, when we went out to eat and I loved it. Although I am not really sure how to cook it? I don't mind spending a little extra on a good meal, if its healthy.

Every year at Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving my Mom makes an asparagus casserole that is SOOOOOOO good. She's made it for years, and it's always the first dish to go..

I didn't know that it takes 3 years to produce edible asparagus!!

It only takes 3 years to start being able to harvest from a newly established asparagus bed, after that you can harvest every year. One house we bought already had an established bed and I felt like I'd won the lottery when we moved in.
Tammyleeb - I'll dig up that shrimp/asparagus/linguini recipe later this weekend and post it for you. I did tinker with it and used 1/2 half & half and 1/2 skim milk in place of the full amount of heavy cream it called for and it was still scrumptious. (per the fam's reviews ;-)

Yeah. . please post this. It sounds like I probably have everything to make it already. I loooooove asparagus and we try to eat some every week. . .I skip when it's too expensive, but once it hits the $1.99/lb I'm buying it all the time.
