I'd love to hear if you tried any of these recipes and if they were a success. Please let me know in the comments!!
Hi Julia,
I'm new to this cooking malarkey but enjoy trying different recipes in the hope of preparing something really special for my wife and I.
Unfortunately, due to my lack of experience and knowledge, this has not always been terribly successful.
I have just been looking at your 30 min recipes (which is super quick) and feel even I can do some of these !
Trying for the fist time this evening with your creamy mushroom pork chops, which, look and sound amazing.
First challenge though, is to actually make it look like the picture.
Well hopefully the food gods will be smiling on me.
Thanks for the recipes, they look quick, tasty, and like poetry on a plate. Please continue.
Many many thanks.
Rich, thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind message - it means a lot to me! ❤️ I hope you try many of the recipes from this list! Some easy tips on how to create a quick and nice-looking presentation:
1) Use small fresh herbs, like fresh thyme, oregano, or marjoram.
2) Save some of the cooked veggies, and add them on top, as garnish.
3) Use bigger, white plates to bring attention to food.
Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family! ❤️
Hello Julia. I must admit that I have been on Pinterest for many years and often download meal recipes. I have never found a site where I have downloaded so many. They all sound delicious. I am going to start tonight with the chicken, bacon, broccoli cheddar meal. I am going to serve it over egg noodles. I cannot wait to get started.
Thank you for so many easy recipes that I can use. My family will be eating Julias' recipes for almost a month. 🙂
Marie, your comment really made my day! ❤️ So glad you found my site - and thank you for taking the time to share this amazing feedback.
