Well, I don’t know what I’m going to do with all this fruit slush. I thought about halving the recipe, but what am I going to do with half a can of frozen lemonade and frozen orange juice. Make juice? That would have been smart I guess. Luckily, the recipe says that I can keep this frozen for a few months, so maybe I’ll whip this out when I have a party this summer and add a little booze to it. Sounds good right? I made it per the recipe, with 7-up as my soda and it was pretty good. Not something I would want to drink all the time, but good. I also don’t think I would make this again, it says to freeze for 12 hours stirring every 2 hours. Ain’t nobody got time for that (and neither did I, didn’t stir it like at all, still came out fine I think). Thumbs down.

Mmm… salsa. Making salsa is easy, and this particular recipe was no exception. Minus the fact that I had to boil water and then add the tomatillos, this was a piece of cake. Tasted good too! Avocado, jalapeno, onion, etc. All the makings of a great salsa, and being my kind of salsa, it wasn’t chunky! I’m sure this is just because I use a food processor instead of chopping everything up. Still, yummy. Thumbs up.

Being a picnic, I wanted to pick a sandwich. Ham sandwiches seemed easy enough and it totally was. I’m not the biggest fan of sandwiches that don’t have toasted bread, but it’s nice every once in awhile, and this was perfect. The mayonnaise mixture was delightful. I added onion to mine, but everything else about it was just great and what you’d expect from a ham sandwich. I found a really useful container of tomato/onion/lettuce that was cut up perfectly for sandwiches and burgers. Less time for me and less wastefulness for the rest of the tomato and lettuce I would not have eaten. And I used honey wheat bread, because that is what I had at home. Thumbs up.

I didn't quite follow this recipe to a tee. First of all, I don't think I purchased the correct chicken. I ended up getting a rotisserie chicken and then just pulling the meat off. Because of this, I did not do the first step of the recipe where it says to boil in water (this apparently makes the chicken broth). So, I just bough some chicken broth and used that when it was time to add. It worked out nicely. The step with the flour and the oil - yeah I think I kind of burnt that - but it didn't seem to affect the taste of the end product at all. After allowing   it   to   simmer   for 

Sweet potatoes have started to become very popular: sweet potato fries, sweet potato chips, etc. And these have never been something I thought tasted good. But these sweet potato muffins are excellent! The recipe doesn't explain how to create the "mashed potatoes." So what I did was boil some water, cut up the potatoes into smaller pieces (they were still pretty big since my knives kind of suck) and boiled them for a half hour. Thank goodness I just bought a masher for those refried beans! After allowing them  to  cool  in  the  fridge,  I  proceeded  to  the
