So my week of vacation time is over. Did basically nothing = best week ever LOL. To update my previous post, here are the results of my cooking /baking adventures:
Chicken Piccata = good, definitely a keeper, but I am going to alter the recipe slightly. (Can't find the recipe online for this.)
Mexican Lasagna = the winner of the week. Easy to make, family friendly, reheats well. I did mine with one pund of ground beef instead of the two pounds of chicken.
Pasta Ponza = meh. Not worth the effort, not that good.
Banana Bread = so much better than my old recipe. We bought extra bananas this week just so I can make more.
Apple and Walnut Tarts = ridiculously easy to make, good, but not great. Willing to give this one another try. Will cut two apples, will skin apples (surprising that wasn't part of the original instructions), and will add cinnamon next time.
... I feel like I am forgetting something, but I just can't remember what it is!
