Meal 1: Hidden Valley Ranch Cheeseburgers (p. 46) I have been wanting to try these because I keep seeing them on the ads. They sound so good.
Fries
Coleslaw: I created my own coleslaw recipe. I took a bag of coleslaw mix, added Kraft Coleslaw dressing, craisins, and some toasted pecans. (I am so proud of myself. I took some olive oil, and I toasted some slivered pecans in the pan--I didn't burn them, and they were good!)
Meal 2: Maple-Cranberry Pork Chops (p. 62)
Roasted Potato and Vegetable Salad (p. 208)
Meal 3: Hawaiian Haystacks (I know this is not the exact recipe I used many years ago, but I have never forgotten these! I finally decided it was time to make these again. My mom and Martin have never tried them. This is the one I am bringing back! I will not make it exactly like the recipe, but I thought this had the best options for toppings. I plan to add curry to it!)
Meal 4: Fish with Carrots (p. 124) I am using tilapia instead of flounder.
Apple-Rice Medley (p. 206)
As to last week, I only have one more recipe--the BBQ chicken. The coffee roast was good, but the coffee was a little strong. I recommend using weak coffee, but the flavors are really unique. The Bratwursts were so tender! I think that was the best thing about these. The Beef Veggie Casserole should be served with rice. It is a good way to use up cabbage. I think the best part of last week was using the crockpot. My only struggle was I had to prepare it the night before. This week will be a challenge because nothing is done ahead of time. So here is hoping! I can hardly wait to make the Hawaiian Haystack! I plan to be very creative!!
