This is the first time that I've ever put together my own patties out of ground beef. I don't think I did a bad job, I also don't think I did an excellent job either. Apparently, next time I should put an egg in there. This is also the first time (I'm pretty sure) that I've had a burger with stuff inside. This recipe has onions, celery, and carrots mixed into the patties. And it was delicious. I would say my favorite part of this recipe though is the cajun mayonnaise sauce that it calls for. It really makes the burger! It also helps that mayo is pretty much my favorite condiment for burgers. Oh and

Okay, quite a few firsts for this post. I've never worked with molasses before. And let me say, I am not a fan. It got everywhere, pretty much like honey (at least when I work with honey it gets everywhere). The sauce though turned out good. The molasses gave it a distinct taste that I am not used to for typical BBQ sauces - I'm not a fan of typical BBQ sauces (except for maybe the Kansas City one from Bandana's). It was easy to make and luckily I had this awesome dressing container to store it in. I'm glad that it will last a few months because I'm sure there is no way me

Not gonna lie, I've never heard of succotash before, but the ingredients listed didn't sound half bad. It was fairly easy to make - though I wasn't a fan of boiling 3/4 cup of water with 3 cups of lima beans, it turned out just fine. The end result was amazing. I'd have to say this may be one of my new favorite side dishes. It was creamy (well, duh) and colorful so I'm sure it's a little bit healthy at least. I'm definitely going to make this again, especially for a summer barbecue or party. Thumbs up!

Well this was just the easiest cod recipe I've ever used. Marinated in Italian dressing and spices, then broiled for a short amount of time. And it came out hot, flaky, and perfect for fish. I should have discovered this recipe at the beginning of Lent huh? Speaking of Lent, can you believe it's already Easter? Wow just wow. Okay, back to the recipe. I'm going to have to give this a thumbs up, the flavor was good and it was extremely easy. I'd recommend it, especially if you like fish like me!

First of all, Swordfish is not that easy to find. Second of all, it's not that great tasting. The only thing that was keeping this recipe alive was the artichokes and the dried tomatoes that were on top. The fish itself was pretty dry and not very good. I tried to take a picture, but apparently my camera didn't save it - not to sure on that one - so take a look at the book's picture. It looked just like it anyway. I was not impressed with this recipe at all, but it was simple enough and only took about a half hour to make. ​Thumbs Down

Love this recipe. At first I didn't think that my food processor was going to work because the ingredients list was so long, but I was wrong. This dressing turned out perfectly and tastes amazing. 

​Thumbs Up
