Here is another great recipe that I have made a few times thanks to Tanya sharing another great recipe!
Not all pasta salads are the same! I was never a fan of pasta salad; at potlucks growing up, it was cold, dry or soggy, and had black olives in them. I gave it a few tries since I like noodles,but eventually gave up! Now, Grant really likes Pasta salad because his Aunt Sandi had this amazing recipe that no one could make as well as she did. I believed him but never thought twice about making it. If Grant’s mom, Gail, who is a great cook can’t make it right then I had NO chance! Well, one day I got up the courage to email Sandi and try to make this recipe and pray that I actually liked it. Well it turns out that this recipe is AMAZING! I love it and crave it way too often, and I don’t think I make it as well as Sandi,but Grant eats it without any complaints and get 3rds and 4th helpings so it probably good enough ;p Below are my step by step instructions.
I feel like everyone in my family on both sides and extended family have SO many great cooks! This is a recipe that Tanya made and is AMAZING! There is some prep work,but I have made it a ton of times because of how good it tastes.
Grant is really good about eating most fruits and vegetables that I prepare for him. He gets really squeamish if anything doesn’t look 100% pristine, and if we aren’t in the mood for smoothies, I have made fruit leather a few times. I wouldn’t say that it is very cost effective if you go out and buy fruits for it, but if you have everything and want a way to use it up, this is a great way. Below are the step by step instructions that I used.
Ever since Grant and I have been married, I have been having him rate recipes on a scale from 1-10. This is important for us because a typical recipe that I would consider at 7 like Meatloaf , Grant considers a 3. This isn’t because my recipe didn’t taste good, it just isn’t a dish that Grant wants to eat all the time and just helps communication. Now, homemade pizza on the other hand is a lot higher on the scale, in fact he would want it ever night for dinner if I didn’t want more variety. I have been so blessed in the recipe department because I have so many talented cooks and bakers in Grant’s and my family. But every once in a while, we like to try new recipe some of which are great, other not so much. This recipe is a copy cat of P.F. Chang’s Spicy Chicken, which I would highly recommend if you eat there. I found the recipe here.
As I said before, I LOVE breakfast foods. On Saturdays, is when I make the bigger, better breakfasts like pancakes, waffles, hash browns, fruit salad, breakfast casserole, or Crepes. We love crepes especially those with Nutella or Jams on them. Crepes are actually very simple to make, but a lot of people don’t ever try making them. Grant is amazing and has arm muscles and can actually do the flip them in the pan thing. I have managed that a few times, but find a thin non stick spatula is faster for me. So, here is how I make Crepes.
