Let me know when you've tried one of them. I got a stomach ache looking at that list.  Nutella pie? :-)

The pizza dough looks like a cool trick.  I will definitely have to try it.

The "Italian chicken" is good... I've used it before.

There's a similar recipe that's been floating around for years.  I've heard self-rising flour and 7-Up makes decent biscuits but I would rather try the buttermilk.

I noticed half the items on that list include self-rising flour.  Sounds like a good way to put on the pounds.

I've done the italian dressing chicken before.  It turns out pretty good, and it is an easy quick entree when you don't have much in the kitchen.

The Oreo, Magic Shell, Palmiers, Cheese Chips, Chocolate Truffles, Kiss Pies and Macaroon Cookies looked kind of good, the pizza dough is a cool idea, and I've made the chicken with Italian Dressing before and it's great.

Definitely great for a working Mom where your time is so limited.

I love marinades.  I've used an entire bottle of soy sauce in a week making teriyaki.

I don't normally marinate my chicken -- I prefer dry spices for that.  I cook chicken breast to 155° because it's "done" quicker but the rest of the bird gets cooked to 165°.  That way, the breast doesn't dry out.

Another use for the italian dressing is using it on potatoes, you cut the potatoes up, I like to boil them until they start to get soft, put them in a baking pan, pour the italian dressing over it, I sometimes add green beans or peas, and bake it in the oven until the potatoes are done, it's awesome.

Yeah, some of them are kinda gross.  :rotf:

As a joke, my sister got me The Starving Student Cookbook (http://www.amazon.com/STARVING-STUDENTS-COOKBOOK-Not-Stated/dp/B000H74B4C/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1355189276&sr=8-3&keywords=the+starving+student+cookbook) when I was college.  Never mind I had been cooking for a living for over a decade at the time, but it had these awful recipes like spaghetti with ketchup.  I've never used a single thing out of it.

She also bought me a Taco Bell-branded quesadilla press... I don't think she put a lot of thought into that particular gift.
