Microwave Risotto is great because of its forgiving nature; if you forget it for a half hour, nothing is lost. Also, it is a wonderful clean-out-the-fridge, use-your-imagination, I-just-bounced-five-checks recipe. It reheats well too. You can use margarine or olive oil in place of the butter, and you can use apple juice or white grape juice in place of the wine.

Cry Baby Cookies
I don't know where the recipe name, cry babies, came from, but the cookies are delicious. Store them for a couple of days to let the flavors of the spices build.
Brown Sugar Chicken Brine
I decided to experiment with my normal go-to brine and added molasses and garlic. In place of regular sugar I used light brown sugar (what can I say, I like molasses). The family loved this. I think this is going to be my new go-to. This is enough brine for 8 pounds of whole chicken or bone-in chicken pieces and up to 10 pounds of skinless, boneless chicken breasts.
Buffalo Chicken Pizza Rolls
These Buffalo chicken pizza rolls are filling little rolls—the perfect bite-sized appetizer or snack. The Buffalo sauce, chicken, and cheese ratio is ideal; it's not too saucy or overly spicy. The ranch butter brushed overtop adds another layer of herbaceous flavor that's a new spin on a classic combo.
