For some reason we seem to eat a lot of rice, especially since I bought my rice cooker at Walgreens. We like Basmati rice the best. This recipe is wonderful for leftover rice. They freeze and reheat well too.
More rice! A quote from Guy Fieri - "winner winner chicken dinner". I think it used every bowl and electric kitchen appliance I own but it was well worth it. We only ate half - the other half is in the freezer.
I have never used fresh tomatillo's before but they are my new favorite food. That step required a food processor. The rice was cooked in my rice cooker and the chicken was grilled on my George Foreman grill. The best part was the tomatillo dressing you pour over the top when serving.
This sounded so stupid it how could I not try it? I followed the directions and ended up with the chewiest almost inedible bacon I have ever had.
Don't bother pinning this one!
Once again this sounded so wheels off that I just had to try it. I used chocolate cake mix. The batter was very strange and stiff. But the cookies were actually very good - a cross between a cookie and a brownie. I will have to try other flavors some day.
Ooh this one is REALLY good. I know it sounds a little strange (have you guessed I like to try weird recipes?) but the cream cheese melts and blends with the spaghetti sauce and is quite tasty. And as the original pinner said, don't for get the onion rings on the top. They makes the whole dish!
I tried these this week and loved them. I followed the directions but I don't think I cooked the hash browns long enough since they weren't crispy. Instead of bacon I put a sausage round on top of the hash browns. And I over cooked the eggs but these were still really good. I had one left over and it reheated very well. Definately a repeat.
I made this two days ago and am still craving more! It is fabulous! I did everything the instructions said except for the crock pot. Some days I want instant gratification and used my dutch oven instead. Next time I will be doubling the recipe.
Don't get me wrong, this wasn't really bad but it didn't live up to to all the hype on Pinterest. People called it the best chicken recipe ever. It was just OK and nothing to brag about. Will not be making it again.
Who doesn't like Red Lobster bisquits? I have tried copy cat recipes before but this one is the closest I have come to the real thing.
This was really good. I had seen similar recipes using corn so I added corn to this and loved it. We grill our corn and I used leftovers. It had a great smokey flavor. Unfortunately it doesn't keep very long because of the avacado.
Baked french fries are a new addiction. I have used this recipe and have also made them without the garlic and cilantro. Either way if cooked long enough to get cripsy they are even better then fried. And certaninly better for you.
Sometimes things sound good but don't turn out very well. This recipe was one of them. The recipe used wonton skins and instructions said you didn't have to trim the excess. Well they were so hard and crunchy we couldn't eat them. The rest wasn't too bad but I wouldn't bother making this recipe again.
YUMMY -Scallops!
The website where this came from is userealbutter.com. Yes, you must use real butter for this. Wouldn't be the same without it. I also add freshly ground garlic and cook it until it is crunchy. Yum!
This was pretty good the night I made it. But I really wanted to freeze individual pieces to eat for breakfast. I tried that but there was just too much spinich in it for breakfast and it didn't really reheat well. I ended up throwing it away. Fail!
YUMMY -Baked Tomatoes
These are really good if you have tomatoes that are a little over ripe and you want to use them up. I've made them a number of times.
I think that is all I have tried lately. I have over 400 recipes pinned so it it is hard to remember everything. Might help if I blogged more often! Obviously I love to try new recipes. Which if you know me well is quite funny since I have a lapband and eat very little. But I still love good food. Thankfully I have that lapband which allowsme to try things without over indulging or else I would be as big as a house thanks to Pinterest! I am also blessed to have a husband who will try anything and likes most things I make.
I have a lot of new recipes I am looking forward to trying and will review them at a later date. I also try a lot of the craft ideas I find but that will be fodder for another blog.
Happy pinning and eating!
