If you like this “recipe”, wait until you try my amazing recipe for pizza! You take a frozen pizza, sprinkle it with 1/2 tsp. each of Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan. Next, add 4 slices of provolone to the top and bake the pizza according to the package instructions. Once the pizza is cooked through and the cheese has melted, transfer to a platter and top with a chiffonade of fresh basil. I call it “pizza.”
Even easier is my foolproof “recipe” for orange chicken! Step 1: look up phone number of favorite Chinese restaurant. Step 2: order orange chicken. Step 3: once container from restaurant is in front of you, open container and enjoy!
I hope you’ll try my super easy and delicious “recipes” that anyone can make – not just professional chefs like me and Ree.

Disappeared quickly. Use the fresh basil it really makes this taste fantastic!
So simple and so good! My whole family loved it
This is a great recipe, that taste great., and it’s so easy to make.
The whole family LOVED these!! It’s a great way to jazz up plain old ( Dino ) nuggets.
Love this! Just so happened last night I made fried chicken breasts that ended up bland! After watching the show I cut them up and made the nuggets and I can’t wait to try them when my husband gets home:) I added a little garlic powder since I’m out of basil.) Jeanne from Maryland
Looks like a rerun Sandra Lee Semi Homemade “recipe.”
