13 recipes we've tried lately
We made two batches, one with chocolate pudding and small in size, one with vanilla pudding & almond slices and larger in size. We liked the vanilla one better.
2. Spinach Salad with Apples and Mustard Vinaigrette
Neither of us are big raw spinach fans (we love it cooked) so we did not love this. However, we decided to try it with leafy lettuce the next time and we found we liked it better with the lettuce. We also used feta cheese instead of blue cheese.
3. Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
We enjoyed this and will make it again. A very unique flavor.
Really enjoyed the flavor. However, next time we will cut it up into pieces after it's finished in the oven and finish it on the stove with the sauce so the flavor will cover more of the squash.
5. Beef Stew
Have been looking for a beef stew recipe from scratch, not those little packets of stew mix you buy at the store. We really enjoyed this and the butternut squash was a nice touch. We used potatoes instead of parsnips and no wine. Two cans of beef broth did the trick.
Enjoyed it. Will try it again.
Liked it. But still want to experiment with other coleslaw recipes before we commit to this one.
Tasted too similar to another recipe that we have with exception of the pineapple juice.
We've made this a few times now, and it's so good!
10. Shrimp Scampi
Not my favorite shrimp recipe, but my husband loves it.
11. Hummus
Makes for a great snack or part of appetizer meal.
One of our new favorites. We use creame cheese instead of blue cheese and we sprinkle it with feta too. Sometimes we add sun dried tomatoes as well. YUM.
A yummy way to finish off a good meal!

OMG! That praline ice cream topping sounds DELISH!
I wish I had the gumption to try new recipes more often :)
Good for you! Glad you found some you guys both like too :)
BTW... how's B doing?
Jo
my boyfriend loves hummus! I'm going to have to check out these pasta recipes too. :)
I sent an email to you, but I got it back. (that's happened alot in regards to blogger) Anyway, that week over week calendar I have on my fridge is basically cardboard with dry erase on top. I got mine at wal-mart about 5 years ago, I think I paid like 7 dollars for it. Even though I love it, I'd wait for it to go on sale.
This all looks so yummy. I am going to try the spinach salad with apples tonight..
Thanks for shareing..
Some of your recipes sound fantastic! Thanks for sharing! Also, thanks for coming over and commenting on my blog. I'm so sorry for your aching heart.
I have heard of the book that you mentioned (TCOYF) and I've heard great things about it, but I'm not sure if it would help my specific problem (diminished egg reserve). Maybe I'll see if a friend has it that I could borrow. Thanks :)
Wow, I really like the sound of a lot of that stuff. Cookies are always good! Roasted red peppers are awesome and I love tomato soup so we'll have to try that one. Beef stew is always nice once in a while and I'd use potatoes also. Shrimp scampi...oh man, I could eat that all day!! Hummus is great also, especially homemade...and lastly I would love to try that Creamy Spinach Pasta! Thanks for sharing, Ter!!
My mom's recipe originally called for bibb lettuce, so you're not alone in this. I tend to like the raw spinach and love the extra vitamins but bibb is a great choice too.
Ter, you're making me so hungry! I want to come over for dinner sometime. You always have the best sounding recipes. :)
As for the binders (thanks for the compliments, btw!) - you can use regular paper or cardstock. Open them up fully and bend backwards a bit. This helps open up the "pockets" so you can slide in the sheet easier. I usually make my sheets a 1/16 - 1/8 of a inch less than the width of the pocket. As long as you slide them in slowly, they don't wrinkle.
My DH and I are off of beef and all mammal meet, but I'm very curious about some of these recipes. I love Hummus and make my own, simple version. I'm going to investigate this recipe you have. Thanks for sharing all of these...keep it up!
Will you cook for me?? All these sound so good! I wish I liked to cook, I do like to bake...this is Christina, AKA Whimsy
