* The first thing I made was Salted Caramel Crunch Brownies. These were pretty yummy!! I made them in the mini muffin pan. I put just a little dab of batter on the bottom, laid a pretzel down, and then covered it with more batter. Baked them as directed and poured caramel over the top. This actually happens to be one of the problems I have with the recipe. The caramel was too thin and made a HUGE mess. Maybe, if you made your own caramel sauce, it would stay on the brownies better. Other than that, they were a delicious salty and sweet combo. (I would suggest making these for a party or get together, somewhere that they would be eaten immediately because the pretzels started to taste a little stale on days 3-4)
* Next I made Lasagna Rolls. Super easy and very tasty. A much simpler version of lasagna. I think that next time I make them, tho, I will add some meat (probably hamburger) and maybe cut back a little on the spinach.
* I also made No Peak Beef Tips. These are basically an easy version of beef stroganoff. They were a little on the salty side, but I love salty foods so it didn't bother me, but just a heads up if you decide to try this recipe. I served them with mashed potatoes but I imagine they would be just as scrumptious with rice or egg noodle. It made for great leftovers too!
* Buffalo Chicken Ring was next up. I had to cook it a little longer than instructed (it may just be my oven) but it turned out very yummy!! I would suggest making this more for an appetizer than supper, and it doesn't make for very good leftovers as the chicken mixtures tends to make the crescent roll a little soggy.
* And now, for mine and Paul's new favorite meal (and a frequently re-occuring supper), I made Glazed Kielbasa. SO, so very yummy!!! We both loved it!! I doubled this recipe and used spicy brown mustard instead of regular mustard and Moscato in place of dry white wine, and also drizzled some honey in the mixture. It smells DIVINE while it's cooking and is super easy! I served it over rice and it was a huge hit! This will definitely be a new addition to our dinner rotation!
--And on a side note, I sort of "created" a little recipe as well. I made a Chicken Caprese Salad using one chicken breast (seasoned to taste), fresh mozzarella, cherry (or grape) tomatoes, half an avocado, 1/3 of a cucumber, and balsamic vinaigrette for dressing. I had this 4 days in a row for lunch and plan to eat it several more times this week (once I run to the store and get some more fresh mozz!)
I hope you decide to try some of these recipes and let me know what you think! Happy Cooking!!
