Today I tried two recipes. One from the Sesame Street cookbook, C is for Cooking and another recipe from the Looneyspoons Collection.
Lunch, C is for Cooking: Cowboy Elmo's Fastest Mac n Cheese in the West pg. 88. The recipe calls for American Cheese slices. For one I would not eat processed cheese slices. They are horrible. There is no way I will feed my child that. I shredded down old cheddar cheese. It also calls for vegetable oil. My honest opinion. I did not like it. All I can taste is the vegetable oil. It tasted nasty!! I had some family over, my husband everyone else enjoyed it. If I try it again I might use butter instead. I am not rushing to try this one again anytime soon. Unfortunately I did not get any pictures of this dish.
Looneyspoons Collection: The Thigh's the Limit pg. 155. I do not eat thighs. I am a white meat eater. I prefer the chicken breast. So I just did the recipe with both chicken breasts and thighs. The only thing I did not do was marinade it for 4 hours. I really enjoyed it. Next time I will try marinading it overnight. If I loved the flavor and I did not marinade it for less than 5 mins, I can only imagine how good it will taste then. We are definitely going to have this again for dinner.

Today I tried the recipe All You Need is Loaf, pg. 235. It is Meatloaf. I really wondered, do I make myself a piece of chicken or do I be daring and just try it. Normally I do not eat ground beef. To be honest I am a very picky eater. Most of the time is all I eat is chicken. It gets kind of boring. So today I decided to bite the bullet and eat it!
It was amazing! The best meatloaf I have ever had. Everyone ate it! I asked them all, is it a make again recipe? They all said yes!

Well it has been a long time since I have posted on this blog. My sister in law has been cooking from this cookbook. I tried one recipe that she shared with me and it was fantastic. So I finally went out and bought it. You can get it at Costco for $19.99. Today I tried 2 recipes, Simply Orange Chicken pg. (141) and Darth Taters (pg. 271).
Orange Chicken:
It was so good!! The only thing I would change though is I would bake it in the oven and then the last 15 mins put the sauce in. Another option I might try is sear it in the frying pan, bake it in the oven and then add the sauce in. My reason is that I really struggle to cook the chicken properly in the frying pan. My family really enjoyed it. Even toddler approved!
Darth Taters:
There is nothing I would change about that recipe! My daughter gobbled them up! I think I might have overcooked it just a little. Regardless it was fantastic!!!
We will be eating these again!!
