2008 Recipes Week 1

So Margaret and I are trying to make food for the week on Sundays to make our life a little easier during the week. This means picking out recipes to make and so I thought this would be a good place for me to write some brief comments on the recipes so I'll know if we liked something or not.

Easy Greek Chicken Casserole

This was fairly easy to make and quite tasty though it did need salt. It is very soupy and I probably would precook the potatoes and use canned green beans if I made it again.

Baked Ziti with Vegetables and Mushrooms
This is heavy on bell peppers and so Margaret loved it and I thought it was OK. It was easy to make and was good all week.

Quinoa Tabbouleh
I've made a lot of tabbouleh over the years and this is the best I've ever made. It has a great taste seems to balance the flavors out about right.

Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are quite tasty though then tend to be a bit dry. The real good part of these cookies are the walnuts. I felt they really made the cookies.

Well that was our food for week 1. It lasted well through the week and was not too expensive or hard to make. All the recipes came from MyRecipes.com.
