Recipes

So over the past 2 months I have been able to try a few different recipes- I found the first recipe off pinterest (of course) but that led me to an awesome sight called Skinnytaste.com. This site has some AMAZING recipes that are low calorie and healthy! Some of the ones I have tried have been really yummy and some of them-meh. Here they are and my opinions of them all :D

1) Baked Onion Rings- These were OK. Nothing beats a real onion ring though. I'm picky because they are one of my favorite foods. They were kind of tasty though. I would consider trying them again.

2) Creamy Mushroom Soup- I thought this was delicious. It is a crock-pot recipe, which are my favorite! However, John thought it was a little bland. I could see what he meant- I think I would add more spices to it and maybe some more veggies? Not sure- but it was yummy to me :D But- Im obsessed with mushrooms. :D

3) Crock Pot Pasta- When the dining hall closed for winter break, I was able to cook a lot more! Which I like- I just cant pass up free food when the dining hall is open. Anyway, that's why you see a lot of Crock Pot recipes because I still had to work :D This one was just okay- I thought it was too salty.

4) Chicken Pot Pie- I actually got this one off the back of a Bisquick box. It was really easy and really yummy. John LOVED it! I found this recipe, which is the same thing :D It's really not that unhealthy either.

5) Chicken Ropa Vieja- this was probably my favorite dish I made. Another crock pot recipe too. Its a traditional Cuban dish when made with beef, but chicken is just as good and healthier. I just made rice for it to go over. Delicious!!!

6) Asian Noodle Pasta- I got this recipe from Krystal:D You basically bowl noodles (I used soy sauce instead of salt or oil to keep the noodles from sticking together) while those are cooking, you cook a bag of stir fry on the stove top and you add an Asian sauce- she actually gave me the sauce, and I dont remember the name, but I am sure you could experiment with something on the Asian food isle. Anyway, then you mix the noodles and veggies together and add more sauce to your tasting. It is super delicious :D

7) Zucchini Chips- I actually made these with squash and I forgot the cheese! shame on me! BUT they were still VERY delicious and super healthy!

That's it for now- I have high hopes to cook some this weekend too :D
