It's been six months since I began as the Guide to Busy Cooks - my, how time flies when you're having fun! So I went back through statistics and picked out the twelve most popular recipes.

If you haven't tried these recipes, pick out a few for dinner or lunch this week. They are recipes that I love and visitors to Busy Cooks seem to agree! Once you have tried these recipes, vote in the poll that follows. I'm keeping track for a top 20 recipes article at the end of the year.

FAVORITE RECIPES

  • Crockpot Chicken Supreme
    Chicken Supreme is by far the most popular recipe at Busy Cooks. The combination of flavors and textures is really superb. And because it's cooked in the slow cooker, this recipe can't get any easier!
  • Sweet and Sour Chicken Stew
    The flavors in this recipe are delicious, especially if you love sweet and sour foods. And the perfect balance of is so easy to achieve because you start with a purchased stir fry sauce.
  • Beach Boy's Pot Roast
    Think about joining the Busy Cooks Chat, held every Sunday evening at 9 PM Eastern time. You'll find out who Beach Boy is! This fabulous recipe uses only three ingredients. And the flavor and texture of the meat is delicious.
  • Italian Chicken Salad
    Chicken salads are very popular, especially during the warm summer months. This delicious salad starts with deli ingredients so it's super fast to make. The addition of black beans adds great texture and fiber.
  • Caramel Cashew Bars
    These delicious bar cookies are so easy because they start with refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough. They are sweet, crisp, chewy, and absolutely delicious.
  • Crab Spread
    I love any kind of seafood recipe, and this appetizer is one of my favorites. There's something about the addition of pecans and horseradish to luxurious crabmeat that makes a memorable recipe.
  • Lemonade Pie
    If your kids love lemonade, this pie will be a winner. Lemonade Pie uses only three ingredients and it's sweet, cool, tart and creamy.
  • Beer Can Chicken
    Have you tried cooking a chicken this way? This super-popular recipe is cooked on the grill. The beer adds wonderful flavor and moistness to the chicken as it grills. Try it this weekend!
  • Macaroni and Cheese
    This is by far the best macaroni and cheese recipe I have ever made (even though sometimes the stuff from Kraft really fills a craving!). It's definitely a recipe fit for company.
  • Ziti Chicken Casserole
    Comfort food at its best! With only five ingredients, you can make a delicious, creamy, cheesy chicken casserole that your whole family will love.
  • Red and White Tortellini
    This is one of my fallback recipes. I always have the ingredients on hand, and it's so easy to make, my husband once made it for company! Try it and it will become a staple in your home too.
  • Fresh Strawberry Pie
    Before the last of summer's strawberries are gone, make sure you try this pie. With the foolproof Hot Water Pastry, this recipe will convert you into a pie maker!

I try to add about 20-30 recipes a week to my Recipe Box, so be sure to check back often. I'm looking forward to more months and years as your Busy Cooks Guide.
