Recipes the World Forgot
Another great post of recipes the world forgot including some of my favorite grilled chicken and salad recipes!
Happy Friday, friends!!
It seems like I always say this, but wow, it’s been way too long since the last edition of my favorite blog feature: Recipes the World Forgot!
If you are new-ish here, you may not recall seeing one of these RTWF posts, but all it means is that I hop on here to remind you (and me!) of some of the recipes in the archives that have gotten lost/been overlooked over the years in favor of more exciting recipes.
And after blogging for over 10 years, there’s bound to be some amazingly good recipes that need a new turn in the spotlight!
Today, I decided to dig out my favorite grilled chicken and salad recipes! With a few treats thrown in there as well…because, DO YOU KNOW ME AT ALL?
Maybe some of these can serve as inspiration for the Labor Day weekend ahead! That romaine salad is one of my favorite salads in the history of ever.
And I included the 60-second mug cookie recipe simply because the comments are golden! Haha, seriously. Some serious gems in there (you either love or hate that recipe).
As always, I love hearing if you’ve made one of the “forgotten” recipes below, so let me know in the comments!
I came here expecting to see archaic recipes, such as ramen salad, or random recipes from decades (or centuries?) ago. What I found is much better, though- recipes that look delish!
I’ve been DYING to make that kale salad again. I live in northeastern Europe and happened to see kale at our local grocery store! I was so excited. I put it on the menu for the next week–but when I went back, there was no kale. And there hasn’t been since. Maybe someday, when we move back to the states, I’ll get to make it again.
Also, who knew a few ingredients in a mug would create so much controversy! LOL (Those comments are pretty funny!)
Haha, I know, right? And darn it, I hope you can find kale soon!
The broccoli salad was a hit, and I see other recipes to try! I’ve made so many of your recipes recently, in my small airstream kitchen and they have been wonderful. Even the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (turned out great w/o my stand mixer)! Made room in my tiny freezer for some of the dough, too. Thanks Mel!
That’s awesome, Sarah!
Just made your broccoli salad a few weeks ago!! I love everything I make off your blog!! Keep Em coming!!
Thanks, Britt!
That pesto grilled chicken is a staple in our house during basil growing season! It’s one of my favorites on your site!
I just made the broccoli salad a couple of weeks ago. I had to stop my Family from eating it so I could have some. We love it and I don’t really love broccoli…especially fresh broccoli but this salad is delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Becky!
I love the pesto marinated grilled chicken. So good! Sounds like I need to try that romaine salad soon. 🙂
I clicked on the mug recipe just to read the comments. They are hysterical! Especially the person who rated it solely on its caloric count, she didn’t even make it. . I’m so glad you didn’t take all that personal, I love your blog and that you can find humor in those comments. Now I feel like I need to make it just to see what I think.
Haha, Emily – glad you got a kick out of them like I do! I’ve learned not to take any comment personally on this here blog (wish I was that hardy in real life, but blog comments don’t usually get to me too badly). If you make it let me know what you think. 🙂
I LOVE the romaine salad so much it is my birthday dinner most years and on the Christmas table every year☺️
I tweak it ever so slightly though… I add dried cherries instead of cranberries (they are delicious with goat cheese) and sub honey in place of the sugar in the dressing and I dont candy the walnuts. I would have never thought a salad could feel so decadent but this one does every time. Great recipe Mel
Glad to know you love that one!
Mmmmm….that green bean balsamic salad is soo good!
It is, isn’t it!!
That romaine salad is always a crowd pleaser – so happy you’ve found that to be true as well! Glad that pasta was a hit (super yummy with that bread I bet!)
I’m always surprised when I come to something like this and haven’t made a single thing. I have been following your blog since its infancy and tell everyone all the time how you are my virtual bestie! I better get to some of these recipes.
Yes, you better! 🙂
That romaine salad is amazing! Made it lots of times this summer, including for VBS workers at church. I was asked by several for the recipe. I also brought your chicken sausage pasta bake that night as well Anne Burrell’s foccacia. Let’s just say I was pretty popular that night!

World, you can NOT forget about the pesto marinated chicken recipe! This is SO easy and SUCH a crowd pleaser! We throw it in with pasta when we have guests over, and they always ask for the recipe!!
Yes to serving it with pasta! Love that idea.
I recently made the pesto chicken and the teriyaki chicken ones and LOVED them. Added them to the repertoire. I’m excited to try the cookie in a mug–fun idea!
I hope you love that one, Bonnie. Like I said in the post – you either love it or hate it. I obviously love it. 🙂
Pesto chicken and teriyaki are 2 of my “go-to” recipes! I love them!! You have not been forgotten in my world!
Thanks, Alisha! 🙂
The romaine salad and pesto grilled chicken are staples at our house!!!
Happy to know you love both of those, Lindsay!
The lemon and garlic grilled chicken is one of my all time favorite recipes!
Same here, Lindy!
This post has reminded me that I have gone the whole summer without making your sour cream lime tart/pie. A travesty! Definitely on the menu for a labour day lunch I’m going to. Thanks for the reminder!
A travesty for sure! You need to rectify that ASAP. 🙂
Your broccoli salad is an absolute favorite of my family. The grilled teriyaki chicken is also delicious. Any of your recipes I have made (which are numerous) are all great!
Hey, thanks!
Pesto marinated grilled chicken is a staple in our house. One of our favorites! We serve it with pasta that has a touch of olive oil and parmesan cheese and garlic salt. My kids favorite!
Wow, so many of you love that pesto grilled chicken. Yay!
I was JUST looking at your sour cream lime tart yesterday because I bought a bunch of limes. Maybe it’s destiny that I make it today. Ha ha ha. Probably not, but I might make it anyways. Also, we have made your pesto marinated grilled chicken many times, it’s one of my husband’s favorites, and your lemon and garlic grilled chicken too. They are both so good! And your kale salad was the first kale salad that I ever tried, and that pecan/Parmesan topping…I could just sit and sprinkle it all in to my mouth. It makes an already tasty salad super delicious!
Love when you add to your “Recipes the World Forgot” series!
Did you make it, Nicole! It’s so good (but I’m probably a little biased, haha).
I LOVE RTWF! I make the grilled pesto chicken all the time! Your favorite romaine salad is MY favorite romaine salad, too! My mom has me bring it to meals all the time! The chocolate chip mug cookie is the best mug treat ever! I feel like my people would go crazy for the strawberry shortcake bars!
I love hearing what recipes you guys still make from the archives, Becky!
I make your lemon garlic chicken and the pesto chicken all the time!!! Both so delicious! Thank you!!
Glad you like both of those, Brittany – they are such good go-top chicken recipes!
