There were lots of delicious sounding recipes that I wanted to use this week and it’s not done yet. This week we had a delicious roast chicken on Saturday that I used to make chicken soup later in the week. We’ve eaten most of the leftovers too, which is nice.
So here are the recipes:
1- The Ultimate Roast Chicken: Food Network Favorites, Tyler Florence section
Mods: Nothing, I actually followed the recipe! It was delicious. It included bacon strips over the chicken for the first 25 minutes. Mmmmm…
2- Steak Fajitas: Retro Fiesta by Geraldine Duncann, Main Dish section
Mods: Made homemade tortillas from my go to recipe. I only had green peppers, not all three colors, which made it a little less pretty. I used flank steak and broiled it. If I was going to make this again, I would reduce the sugar by quite a bit, it had a total of 5 1/2 tablespoons of sugar. It was a bit too sweet for me. Everything else was good.
3- Neon Diner’s Chick’n Soup with Homemade Noodles: Retro Diner by Linda Everett
Mods: I added a few more veggies, green beans, and frozen corn. No other mods. It was delicious. The Husband said it was “What I always expect from a diner, but never get.” I was excited to use up some leftovers as well. The noodles were pretty easy to make and delicious.
4- Parmesan Herb biscuits: Pilsbury Best Muffins & Quick Breads, Biscuits, Scones, Popovers, and Doughnuts section
Mods: Dried parsley instead of fresh. I don’t think I will make these again. It seemed like they were under seasoned.
I had terrible luck taking pictures this week. We kept eating the food before pictures. It was too delicious to wait. I’ll work on it for next week.
