In an effort to make at least one healthy dish, we take on some chicken tacos with a surprising result. In only about 15 to 20 minutes, we were rewarded with some very tasty tacos that look good and are good for you. This is definitely a recipe to give a try for those days when you don’t want a heavy meal but you want a tasty treat.

In a more relaxed Cuisine Made Quick, Elisabeth and I decided to make some burgers on the grill during one of the many warm evenings we have had lately. There isn’t much to learn here but we had fun and thought we would share.

After much delay and a day outside of being part of National Pancake Week, Elisabeth and I finally got around to making some fresh blueberry and chocolate chip pancakes. Inspired by National Pancake Week, we thought now would be a good time to break away from the Bisquick and bust out the 1970s Joy of Cooking. To quote Elisabeth, “The results – magic.”

Taking a break from the main course, in this episode Elisabeth and I make some pie.  With the possible exception of the sweet fried chicken recipe, I was more excited to taste the end result with this recipe than any other.  Elisabeth was schooling me in this episode from start to finish as I have never made a pie.  I have watched my mother make many delicious pies of endless variety but it always seemed like too much trouble to try myself (plus my mother lives a few miles away so there is always a pie opportunity should I need one).

Elisabeth, on the other hand, apparently took a bit more initiative growing up and actually paid attention to her mother’s recipe.  In my first pie making experience, Elisabeth walks me though the fundamentals of a good pie.  With apples in hand, Elisabeth helped walk me though my very first preparation of apple pie.

I must admit, I can think of no better way to start a weekend morning than a nice big breakfast or brunch. Elisabeth and I have made a habit out of enjoying a satisfying breakfast at least once a week. This past weekend we went all out with one of our favorite breakfast indulgences – loaded biscuits and gravy.

There are quite a few steps involved in this one so be prepared as the video and recipe directions are a bit longer than usual. The good news is once you get the recipe down, you can whip it together in less than 30 minutes. Also, many items in this recipe are up for substitution. The biscuits are essentially the base for whatever creation you desire. Keep that in mind as you watch and be creative.

Finally, if you have a breakfast favorite you would like to see us attempt, or if you have video preparing your favorite dish, please leave a comment or send an e-mail to recipes@cuisinemadequick.com.

It’s Wednesday night and you don’t feel like cooking a big meal but you also don’t feel like takeout. You start to give in to just having a bowl of cereal and then it hits you. Sweet fried chicken!

Perhaps one of my favorite chicken recipes out there – sweet fried chicken is easy, takes very few ingredients and is simply the best fried chicken I have ever tasted. However, just chicken fingers is hardly a meal and Elisabeth stepped up to fix some quick mac n’ cheese. So quick, in fact, she prepared it while the chicken was cooking.

I have to add that my good pal Greg over at Freezer Burns pointed out that technically my mac n’ cheese was really bow-tie/farfelle n’ cheese.  Who am I to question the Frozen Food Master and thus the title has been amended.

After coming across this recipe numerous time in various books and on television, Elisabeth and I decided to put this one to the test. Was the combination of apple, cheese, pastrami and onion too much for our pallets or did we have our first official cuisine made quick?
