Recipe Verdicts

Is it really 5pm on Sunday already?!  The weekends go by so fast...and I'm definitely not prepared for the craziness that will surely be at work tomorrow.  First day of classes!

Let's talk about some food:



Mmmmmmmm...creamed corn...my favorite.  Grade: A+


The hubs actually made this recipe...not me.  He's a swell guy.  Grade: B  (not him, the recipe)


I'm surprised I made this considering I'm not a big fan of meat.  The flank steak came out well, the onion rings?...not so much.  I forgot to spray them after they were arranged on the pan so they ended up too floury from the flour they were dipped in.  :oP  Grade: B+ mostly due to user error and marinating time


Nothing to see here...just a regular tuna sandwich.  Grade: A


Average.  I might not've cooked the kale enough because it was kind of chewy.  Though, that might be the nature of kale.  I wouldn't know since I don't have kale that often.  This recipe also has you bake the potato in the oven and caramelize the onions (cook on the stove for 1 hour) which is ridiculous.  Stick that darn potato in the microwave and just soften the onions in a pan.  Sorry, but I'm not going to spend an hour on a pointless technique.  Grade: B-


This definitely didn't come out like the picture.  I'm thinking you're supposed to only cook the swirl side for a second or two.  Yep...just checked.  30 seconds to a minute.  I left them on longer than that so the cinnamon swirl cooked out.  Had this nice swirl valley through all the pancakes.  :)  This might be worth a second try.  Grade: A-

Have a great week!
