So far I've made:
Grilled Balsamic Flank Steak
Pretty good / Everyone ate it
Zesty Italian Chicken
Pretty good / Made it on the stove instead of the crock pot / Jared didn't care for it (he's not a casserole kinda guy though)
Cake Batter Cookies
Dangerously good / Super easy / Everyone like them
Country Potato Salad
Super Good /Easy / Finally one that Jared liked
Buffalo Chicken Roll Up (Stromboli)
Super Good / Just a little too much spice for the girls / an easy recipe that you can do anything with
Pretty good / Easy / I didn't slice them thin enough so they were a little mushy for me (I'm not a squash girl)
And today I've got Mac & Cheese in the crock pot and I'm making Sloppy Joes. The Mac and Cheese is new and I'll post what we thought later. However, the Sloppy Joes we've made before and I loved them. I didn't have bell peppers but no one missed them.
I'm really enjoying having a new place to go and get other peoples opinions on what they cook. It's easy to find a recipe but not so easy to know if your going to like it or not. So the fact that all of the "testing" is done for me....makes me love it even more.
One of the many ways we've been trying to save money is to cook more instead of taking the easy route and getting take out. It gets hard to find good easy recipes that are kid friendly and Jared friendly. He gets burned out easily so I have to mix it up and spread out the times I make it. Another way I've been trying to do better for us is by using Bountiful Baskets. They have been pretty awesome. Jared likes the veggies, the kids and I like the fruits, and the price is right. So it's a good mix for all of us.
