the onion rolls. I wasn't sure I'd be able to find these at Shop n Save, but thank goodness I did. They were delicious, though a tad big for the size of the patties I sculpted. I'm going to have to give this recipe a thumbs up for sure and I'd definitely make it again. Click here for Cajun Burger Recipe |
BBQ Sauce with MustardOkay, 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 |

Creamy SuccotashNot 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! |

Broiled CodWell 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! |

Spicy Slow Cooked Portuguese CacoilaI just want to start off saying that this recipe was amazing. Not only was it super easy, but the pork ended up being so tender and moist and the seasonings were perfect. I could really taste the spiciness from the paprika and the red pepper, but I could also taste the sweetness from the cinnamon. It was the best combination! And the whole thing was made in a crock pot so the only work I had to put into it was cutting up the pork and add it in zip-lock bag along with the wine and spices. By the time I got home from work, |

Big & Buttery Chocolate Chip CookiesWell this post is going to be full of things that are delicious. So I didn't follow the recipe EXACTLY, first, I didn't do the whole roll into balls and refrigerate. Mostly because I didn't have time to that, as I was making them for something just a few hours later in the day. Also, I didn't add any walnuts, why mess up a good thing? Anyway, because they weren't being baked after refrigeration, I had to cut down the bake time to about 8 minutes. Some of them got a little brown as I'm sure you can tell from the picture, but oh |

Watergate SaladIt seems I am getting into the habit of not following the recipe to a tee. And that's okay right? As long as I'm not changing chicken to fish or something extravagant. I did not put the pineapple in this recipe. I think pineapple is disgusting and it would have been waste of time and money if I made something that I wouldn't even try, or no one would eat. So, here we have Watergate Salad sans Pineapple. It was pretty good. I will same I am a fan of pistachio pudding and ice cream, so I was pretty stoked to try this out. The recipe says to chill for at least 2 hours, |

Toasted PB & Banana SandwichesI am a little behind on writing about some things that I've made in the past few weeks. For Valentine's Day, I made Toasted Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwiches (which I had never heard of before, but people are work were like "They ROCK") and I was pretty excited. The recipe itself was easy, I don't usually like working with Honey and that day was no exception. It got everywhere and my entire counter was sticky. The sandwich outcome was great, I liked the fact that they were toasted, I'm not sure I would |

DaiquirisI am NOT a fan of these drinks. Never having a daiquiri before, I was pretty excited to make another drink recipe from this book and try it out. The recipe was rum, lime juice, and syrup. That is it, so the rum wasn't diluted at all! It was way to strong for my liking, perhaps I could have added more syrup? Or more lime (I do love my lime)? I'm not sure, but it wasn't good. It was fun however to make - loving my cocktail shaker! I'd still be willing to try Strawberry Daiquiris though, so if you have a recipe for that please send it my way! Thumbs Down. |

New Haven Clam PizzaI was looking for something simple to make for dinner on a week night and came across this pizza. New England Clam Chowder is by far my favorite soup, however, this is the only thing I've ever had clams in. So I wasn't scared to make this pizza, but I knew it was going to be different. Using Pillsbury pizza crust (because I don't like making bread nor did I have the time), I put the mozzarella, cooked bacon, clams, and Parmesan cheese. Let me tell you - this pizza was delicious. I couldn't tell that there were clams on it (which may or may not be a good thing?). I think the |
