When anyone mentions cooking, I am usually the last one to chime in. But now that I have a husband and a son that needs nourishment {on a daily basis} I am really trying to put forth a better effort.
A couple years ago I asked my brother to get me a cookbook for my birthday filled with all our favorite recipes that my mom made growing up. My mom is nothing short of a gourmet chef and always had dinner on the table every evening for a family meal together.
In the beginning of the week I try and put a menu together for the week, to kind of keep us on budget and so that I only have to go to the store once a week. However, this week I got a little late start to the whole menu thing as my Munchkin and I just got to the store this morning. We decided to make all new recipes this week since we have been kind of getting sick of the five usual things I make, about every week.
My usual recipes I make are:
1. Cheeseburger casserole
2. Lemon Baked Cod
3. Lasagna Rolls
4. Enchiladas
5. Chicken Tortilla Soup
6. Spaghetti
7. Crunchy Chicken
8. Roast
9. Cheesy Potato Soup
But this week we are going to try:
1. Cheesy Tortellini
2. Mixed up Lasagna
3. Smoked Turkey Tortilla Wraps
And that is all that I have come up with so far... More "research" today...
But I also got new recipes for desserts that I would like to try:
1. Peanut Marshmallow Bars
2. Key Lime Pie
3. Dark Chocolate & Oat Clusters
I've actually already made the Dark Chocolate & Oat Clusters, they're just no-bake cookies with dark chocolate and are oh so yummy {if you like dark chocolate}.
I am planning on making the Key Lime Pie for my birthday, Friday. So I am hoping it turns out well...
Some of my favorite family/friend recipes are at larsonfamilyrecipes@blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite go to dinner is crouton chicken. I think the recipe is on that blog. Serve it with homemade honey mustard and it's delish.
I also love grilling vegetables on the grill. I slice up peppers, onions, asparagus, mushrooms, and whatever else you like. Do you guys even like veggies? Drizzle some olive oil and shake in a bag with Montreal Steak Seasoning, and grill in a basket on the grill. It's one of our favorites with chicken or whatever.
Happy cooking!
