This is me at dinner...ok not really but I feel like this sometimes. I love food! Who doesn't (no nasty comments I'm aware some people don't love food). I love the recipes that I find on Pinterest and I was just looking through my recipe board in order to start planning meals for the next few weeks and I realized that I have tried a lot of things and haven't bothered to blog about them. So I'm just going to do a recipe rundown of all the things I have tried.
1.Lemon Fudge- Yuck. It is like eating a mound of lemon frosting, WAY to sweet
2. Carrot Apple Coconut muffins- I love them! However I made them for the kids and they don't love them, the flavor is great but I need to puree the fruit and veggies next time so the kids will eat them, I do love that they are sugar free though.
3. Turkey taco lettuce wraps-Delicious! I actually used ground beef because I just don't like ground turkey, but the lettuce wraps as a taco shell was delicious and even if you use beef it will save on calories.
4. Texas Roadhouse Cinnamon butter- Heavenly, I gave it away as christmas Presents this year. yummo!
5.Asian Slaw- great, fresh salad. I used broccoli slaw instead of regular cole slaw and I added some cold teriyaki chicken to it and used it as a main dish.
6.Sweet and salty roasted chickpeas- yuck...next!
7.Crock pot BBQ ribs- AMAZING! so simple and delicious, there were NO LEFTOVERS!
8. Hawaiian sweet roll Ham sandwiches- yummy but you won't feel good after you eat them.
9. weight watchers honey mustard crunchy chicken- really good but they only count as weight watchers if you use fat free dressing....which I didn't have
10. jalepeno poppers- perfect...Superbowl possibility.
11. Slow cooker thai peanut chicken- just kind of blah
12. Cranberry salsa- best thing I ever found on pinterest, there is a plate of it in my fridge right now and I'm taking it to christmas dinner.
13. double crunch honey garlic pork chops- I insist that everyone try this recipe, it is THAT good!
14. 7 Layer tostadas- fast and easy for a weeknight meal, and there is lots of variation possibilities.
15.Homemade Cherry limeade- of course it's good, its Cherry Limeade
16. Caramelized Chicken- very good, If you are going to do it in a crock pot keep it under 4 hours otherwise you will have jerky...no joke...and don't go run errands and forget about it either.
17. Spring rolls with Spicy peanut sauce- I had to spice up the sauce a little bit but it was great, and I love spring rolls, there is a great step by step recipe on the link.
18. Cajun Chicken pasta- it's like cajun fettucine. I know that sounds like a strange combo but it turns out so delicious!
19. pf chang lettuce wraps- a new favorite!
20. crock pot orange chicken- meh. It's ok but, there are better recipes.
21,ham and cheese crescents- it's ham and cheese and buttery rolls....of course it's good.
22. Honey soy glazed chicken- It is my experience that Martha Stewart will never steer you wrong in the kitchen.
23. sliced baked potatoes- just not as good as I wanted them to be. ok but not great.
24. Honey chicken- One of my favorites at the chinese takeout place, and a pretty decent make your own take out, but really heavy.
25. sweet and spicy honey garlic shrimp- So Amazing!
26. cake batter rice krispie treats- eh I'll stick with the regular ones.
27. Best ever beef dip sandwiches- lives up to its name.
28. Cheesy chicken lasagna- I'm lactose intolerant...I don't know what I was thinking, but Peter loved it.
29. Comeback sauce- It has a great flavor but it is way to heavy to be used on a daily basis...maybe if you were having a BBQ with fries....lots of fries.
30. slow cooker coconut chicken curry- very good, very easy. Great comfort food.
31. toasted ravioli- you bread and fry ravioli then dip them in sauce. so delicious and bad for you, but they also take a lot of work, I don't think this will be a repeat.
32. Coca Cola Chicken wings.- yum! mostly taste like sweetened soy sauce. Who knew coke had such a prominent place in modern chinese cooking.
33. zucchini fries- too much work! you want fries make fries they are so much easier. you want veggies eat veggies.
34. Dr Pepper sauced boneless wings- SO GOOD!!! This is a definite for the superbowl!
35. Crock pot Mac & Cheese- I have tried so hard to like baked mac n cheese and I just don't....blah.
36. Cinnamon roll pancakes- Fantastic breakfast! And while your at it try the cream cheese topping...might as well go all the way right?
37. Crock pot kalua Pork- The best part is that it cooks for 16 hours so you have 16 hours to drool over your crock pot.
38. Dirt Cups- Why I waited till I was 28 to learn how to make dirt cups I don't know, but they are a great desert for kids....or teenagers....oh heck everyone likes em.
Ok well that is it. I hardly ever make the same thing twice so I'll keep trying new recipes and sharing them :)
I love this blog. I have tried some recipes/projects from Pinterest and thought they were really good and not so good (like that mac and cheese recipe where you boil the pasta is milk) it was a big mess. This is a very fun blog to read.
ReplyDeleteI have tried to make roasted chick peas too, and found them to be very gross.
ReplyDeleteWhen we went to yellowstone this summer we had Hawaiian rolls with spam for dinner...it was so delicious. But yes, not very good for you. Mmmm...now I want some. :)
