Meat and Fish "Family Packs"

Dear Betty, We love your recipes but are on a tight budget. We only buy our groceries for a month at a time so we buy family packs. We divide the meat up in portions for one meal. We would like some new recipes for boneless pork chops, boneless skinless chicken and fish. Thank you, Loraine
Hi Loraine, Well, what a fabulous way to trim the food budget! I just love the warehouse stores with their family packs of meat and fish. Get ready, because I have lots and lots of boneless chicken breast recipes!  Go to this page, Chicken Breast Recipes,  and take your pick! I also have a few pork recipes that would work with boneless pork chops: Sweet-and-Sour Pork Chops Apple Roasted Pork Chops (you can use boneless or bone-in chops) Tangy Pork Cutlets (you can use thin boneless chops) Maple Apple Chops (again, you can use boneless chops) And I’ve also got a few fish fillet recipes (most any firm-fleshed white fish can be used): Mediterranean Fish Medley Zesty Flounder Fillets Southern Breaded Catfish   Spicy Broiled Fish Fillets Baked Fish & Potatoes Blackened Flounder

    My Grandmother used to make the most wonderful really SOFT molasses cookies, but whenever I try to make them, they always turn out hard, only good for dunking in milk or coffee. Can you find a true recipe for soft ones? Thank you. --Bernice

    I had a recipe from Grandmas and this weekend I took it to the store with me and lost it. I have all of the ingredients and was so excited to try the recipe again. I looked on the website and it is not there. Do you still have the Chicken Stroganoff recipe? Where can I find it? Thanks. --Katherine

    Grandma,

    Our farmers’ market has such great corn on the cob! Can I use fresh corn in recipes that call for canned?
