I'll be trying new recipes for a while and thought I'd comment each week on the previous week's new dishes. Our rating system is simple: thumbs up, thumbs down or thumbs in the middle.
In my last meal plan, we tried Broccoli and Chicken Noodle Soup which I played around with to create my own crock pot version, which I posted on my blog. We had the leftovers yesterday for lunch and I was reminded JUST how good it is. Seriously...I'll be making this often. The whole family rated this TWO THUMBS UP.
The Maple Grilled Salmon was a little too sweet for my kids' taste, considering we usually prepare our salmon with steak seasoning, so it's super salty, not sweet. I substituted the honey for the maple syrup, which might have messed it up, too. Mike rated this TWO THUMBS UP, the kids and I were more THUMBS IN THE MIDDLE.
I've made Ranchero Mexi-Chicken Crostada a few times before, but it had been a while. My BFF reminded me that I left out the cilantro once and it was very blah. This time, Mike wanted a third helping, but it was gone. The adults and Ryan rated it TWO THUMBS UP, Kaylin (who hates tomatoes) rated it THUMBS DOWN.
