A Glimpse into my mind

Did not take pictures before we ate it. Sorry.

But I yet again, experimented on the girls today for dinner. I found a recipe that I thought would be good for having when the Minion comes for dinner (seeing how she is vegetarian). Unfortunately schedules did not permit for her to be here for dinner tonight, but Dicea and Kate helped me by being test subjects for:

It was good. Filling and certainly works for a vegetarian main dish for those times when such thing is needed.

The girls talked about how to "improve it" with better binder in the crust, more veggies, etc. But I will let them comment if they so choose to say what they thought about it.

With the Minion being vegetarian and dicea going more and more vegetarian, I'm attempting to bring more *gasp* vegetables into my diet so that I'm not entirely carnivore around them. So I've been trying new soups. First I did the chicken tortilla soup (which can be made without the chicken) and today I tried a new one.




( Roasted Tomato & Barley Soup )

Two recipes tried over the weekend.

( Chicken Cakes )

#6 brought to you by quicktongue

I was in a baking mood today. And since I had bought all the ingredients I dove into GRE#3 which was brought to you by athersgeo who picked the page number.

( 60-Minute Oatmeal Nut Loaf )

Rating (out of 5): 4.5

This Great Recipe Experiment has me stuck. I just have so many cookbooks with so many things that sound good/interesting that I can't choose.

So I'm going to ask my friends to assist me.

If you are reading this and want to help, can you please pick a number between 5 and 400? These represent pages of cookbooks. From there I will use the numbers to narrow down what I'm going to try.

Thank you.
