This week Rocks in My Dryer is hosting another bloggy giveaway carnival, and I'm again joining in on the fun. Last time I gave away a package of great books to Kathleen Marie at The Open Window. I love books, but something I love even more than books is food. That's why for my giveaway this time, I will be giving away either a $50 Restaurant.com gift certificate or a $15 Starbucks gift certificate, your choice. I know that Restaurant.com doesn't have restaurants in everyone's area, hence the two options.To enter my giveaway, all you need to do is leave a comment with one of your favorite recipes, either the actual recipe or a link to it. Friday at midnight EST, I will use a random number generator to pull one lucky winner. And who knows, if I get a ton of great recipes, maybe I'll just have to choose two lucky winners. The giveaway is open to anyone around the world including both bloggers and non-bloggers. All I need is a recipe and way to contact you when the giveaway is over.
To find hundreds of other great giveaways, check out Rocks in My Dryer all this week for the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. Or feel free to join in on the fun yourself. Good luck!!
Update: This giveaway is now closed. The winner will be announced in the morning. Thanks for all who participated!

Not exactly healthy, but we like this around here:
Honey mustard curry chicken
INGREDIENTS
* 5 lbs chicken thighs and drumsticks
* 1/3 cup butter, melted
* 2/3 cup honey
* 1/2 cup prepared mustard
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 2 teaspoons curry powder
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place chicken pieces in a shallow baking pan, skin side up. Combine the melted butter or margarine, honey, mustard, salt and curry powder and pour the mixture over the chicken. Bake covered in foil for the first 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake another 45 minutes, basting with pan drippings every 15, until the chicken is nicely browned and tender and the juices run clear.

I made up a great recipe that we call Crack Chicken, because it is addictive like Crack, you can't stop eating it!!!
You can come up with your own amounts.
Spread a layer of Grey Poupon Honey Mustard on chicken and coat in plain bread crumbs. Bake until done.
Seriously, that is it!!! But it needs to be Grey Poupon to be Crack chicken, though other brands are maybe marijauna chicken.

Chicken and Corn Chili
Ingredients
1 large onion, chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 can diced green chili peppers
1-3/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, not drained
1-1/2 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons stone-ground cornmeal
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Directions
1. In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, combine onion, chicken, low-sodium broth, green pepper, chilies, 1-1/2 teaspoons of the cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of the cayenne and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 hours.
2. Remove the chicken to a cutting board and allow to cool slightly. Shred the chicken and return it to the slow cooker with remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of the cumin and cayenne, and the tomatoes, corn and beans. Gently mash some of the beans against the side of the bowl to thicken the chili. Stir in the cornmeal and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let sit a few minutes to soften the cornmeal. Serve sprinkled with a little of the Monterey Jack cheese.

1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies, undrained
1/2 C. mayonnaise
1 T. Southwestern Seasoning Mix
2 plum tomatoes
1 lime
2/3 cup finely crushed tortilla chips, divided
2 pkgs. crescent rolls
1 C. salsa
1 C. sour cream
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Mix chopped chicken, olives, cheese, green chilies, mayonnaise and seasoning mix in bowl. Seed and chop one tomato. Slice lime in half. Juice one half of lime to measure 1 t. of juice. Reserve remaining lime for garnish. Add chopped tomato and lime juice to chicken mixture. Reserve 2 T. crushed chips and add remaining chips to chicken mixture. Mix well.
Sprinkle reserved crushed chips over flat side of a large cutting board. Place dough onto chips and press down so chips adhere to dough.
Separate dough into triangles. Arrange triangles, chip side down, in a circle on a 13" baking stone. Wide ends should overlap in the center and points should be toward the outside. There should be a 5" diameter opening in the center.
Scoop chicken mixture onto the wide ends of the triangles. Bring points of the triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends. Do not cover filling completely. It should show in between each triangle.
Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
For garnish, cut remaining tomato into 8 wedges. Cut remaining half of lime into 4 slices, cut in half. Arrange between openings of ring where filling is showing. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

1 16 ounce jar of salsa (2 cups)
1 cup cheddar cheese
Cook shells according to directions. Cool until you can easily handle. Cook ground beef until brown, drain fat; stir in cream cheese (I always leave one section out its too much for my taste!) and chilli powder. Until thoroughly mixed. Cool slightly. Spread 1/2 cup of salsa in 2 quart dish (or enough to be covered on the bottom) Fill shells with meat mixture, place on top of the salsa. Put remaining salsa on top. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 min. Sprinkle with cheese and bake 15 more min. uncovered.

My recipe for Cornbread.
Great giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win.
My favorite quick to fix recipe is an appetizer. Especially fitting since Super Bowl is coming up this weekend.
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
1 pkg frozen meatballs or make your own with ground turkey
1 bottle Yoshida's Sweet and Sour Sauce
1 c. bottled barbecue sauce
1 can chunked or crushed pineapple.
Put all ingredients in slow cooker. Mix well and cook on low for 1 hour to heat through. Keep on low and just stir occasionally.
I'd love the restaurant. com gift card.
Sweet & Spicy Pork Chops
4 bonless pork chops
1 packet taco seasoning
1 jar salsa
1 jar apricot or peach perserves
(The heat of the salsa and seasoning affect the heat of the pork chops. So maybe start with mild unless you like things spicy)
Dump it all into a crock pot (be sure to mix in the seasoning well) and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. The pork chops can even be frozen. It's super easy and always becomes a favorite after people try it.

Oreo Truffles
Yields: Approximately 40 Truffles
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 lb Oreo cookies
½ tsp. vanilla extract
1 lb of baking chocolate (can use mix of white and milk; will need more if you want to drizzle on top, etc.)
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese for a couple minutes to smooth out.
Using a food processor, grind cookies to a powder (some bigger pieces are ok).
Blend cookie powder into cream cheese (add in just over 1/2 of the cookie powder and mix until thoroughly combined; then, add in the rest of the cookie powder and mix just until combined). Add vanilla extract and continue blending until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese). Cover bowl & chill mixture in refridgerator for 15-45 mintutes.
Roll into small balls (approximately 1 inch in diameter) and place on wax (or parchment) paper-lined cookie sheet.
Cover and place back in the refridgerater to firm (15-45 minutes).
In double-boiler, melt chocolate, stirring occasionally, until the chunks are smooth. Remove and stir to melt the rest of the chocolate. (You can add solid vegetable shortening, e.g. Crisco, to help smooth out the chocolate if needed) If the chocolate mixture starts to firm up, place back over the double boiler to slowly remelt, or gently rewarm in the microwave.
Dip balls and coat thoroughly.
With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off.
Return truffle to wax (or parchment) paper-lined cookie sheet.
Let cool (place in freezer).
Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.
Slowly melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, Dip each truffle ball and set aside on a silpat or parchment paper. Store in the refrigerator after all are dipped.
Variation: Use Mint Oreo cookies and add 1 drop of green food coloring to the white chocolate for Mint Oreo Truffle Balls. You can also drizzle some dark chocolate over them to make creative designs.
Yum!
Fabulous prize!
Here's my favorite that my husband makes: Cajun Chicken
4 oz. rigatoni or penne pasta
2 chicken breasts
2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
1/2 c. skim milk
5 oz. baby spinach leaves
8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 Tbsp butter
1 tomato, chopped
Prepare rigatoni according to its package directions. Lightly coat a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Coat chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning. Place chicken breasts in skillet; cook for approximately 6 minutes; turn and cook for 6 more minutes until no longer pink in the center. Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm. Add milk, cooked pasts, spinach, mushrooms and butter to skillet; mix well. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through, approximately 5 minutes. Divide pasta mixture into two portions and top with a portion of Cajun chicken. Garnish with tomatoes, serve and enjoy!

Super Easy Crock Pot Kalua Pig
From Karan Pua S.
What you need:
Crock Pot
Pork butt or shoulder
2 cups apple cider
OR
2 cups pineapple juice instead of apple juice
I think we used pineapple juice
a year ago for a luau.
Others said they preferred pineapple juice
and what we did turned out tasty.
1/2 cap Liquid Smoke
(Often in the BBQ section
and might be called Hickory Smoke)
Some folks like a bit less hickory/liquid smoke
so that might be something to watch out for.
How to do it:
Early in the day, put pork butt (shoulder)
in crock pot.
Add juice of choice and
liquid smoke.
Turn crock pot on LOW and leave
alone until evening about 9-10 hours.
Take out the meat and shred.
Salt to taste.
Kalua pig is always shredded it
will naturally shred when well cooked.
It is frequently served with cooked/steamed cabbage and
rice of some kind.
Ladle the kalua pig's liquid over the cabbage and rice.
Soy sauce is available on the table
for folks who desire it.
Chicken Eden Isle
Wrap skinless, boneless chicken breasts in bacon, layer on top of Armor dried beef in baking dish (rinse beef first if you want to reduce salt), mix 1 container of sour cream with 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, add canned mushrooms if desired, pour over top of chicken, let marinate overnight or several hours, bake at 350° for 1 hour. So easy and yummy!

Cashew Chicken -- The secret is in the sauce!
I always eat jasmine rice with my cashew chicken, I love the nutty flavor. A few chopped green onions and some cashews. You can stir-fry your chicken or dredge it in flour and fry it for the famous Springfield, MO style. Top it all off with the sauce.
1 Cup chicken broth
1 TBS Oyster Sauce
1 tsp sugar
1 TBS cornstarch
Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil. Continue to boil for 5 minutes. Pour over chicken, rice, onions and nuts.
This recipe is very easy to multiply if you like lots of sauce.

I love roasted broccoli... it is so incredibly easy, yet ever so tasty!
You simply mix about 1/4 cup olive oil with about 4 large cloves of crushed garlic. I know it sounds like a lot, but when it roasts, it mellows and is incredibly yummy!
Next, you cut your broccoli stems off (or just get crowns), and dip the tops of the broccoli into the oil/garlic mix (or you can toss the broccoli and oil in a big bowl).
Place the broccoli on a baking sheet and sprinkle with coarse salt. Roast in 375 degree oven until fork tender.
Super yummy and easy:

Love reading the recipes! My husband's favorite dinner is super simple - a roll of turkey kielbasa browned in the skillet; egg noodles cooked in chicken broth with Italian seasoning; mix the two together and add a big bunch of green beans and shredded carrots, heat and serve. We threw it together when we were in college and it lives on in family kitchen infamy as "Goop."
One of my super easy favs I made for dinner tonight!
Italian Chicken Pasta Salad.
1/2 - 3/4 box of Farfalle (bowtie) pasta
3 large chicken breasts
2 large tomatoes
1 can of olives
half a head of lettuce (I prefer green leaf)
Some jack or mozzarella or parmesan cheese.
House Italian dressing (I use Wishbone)
Cook chicken until done with some butter and Italian seasoning. Let cool and cut into bite size pieces.
Cook pasta, drain, and wash with cold water.
Chop lettuce, tomatoes, and olives.
Mix pasta, lettuce, tomato, olives and add dressing to taste. Mix in chicken. Top with shredded cheese. Serve!
Here's the secret recipe for my mom's "Chicken Spaghetti:"
- Boil chicken until it falls off the bone
- Remove chicken from broth
- Add sliced carrots and celery to broth and boil until cooked through
- Cook spaghetti with carrots and celery until done
- While carrots, celery, and spaghetti are cooking, remove chicken from bones and shred/cut into small-ish pieces
- When done, remove spaghetti and veggies from broth and put in serving bowl
- Add chicken
- Add cans of condensed cream of chicken and cream of celery soups in approximately equal portions (i.e., one or two cans of each, depending on the amount of sauce you need)
- Thin with broth until it's as thick or soupy as you like it
My children like to make this easy recipe...
