Jeffrey made Breadkfast Quinoa with Apple Compote. This is from page 50. The boys have not been fond of quinoa anyway, but they were ok with it this time. However the compote was not a hit at all. We only made one recipe which I did on purpose, knowing that they might not like it. I didn’t like that flavor mix very well either, but I did eat more than my share so we wouldn’t have to throw too much away.
Joshua made “Southwestern Twice-Baked Potatoes” on page 192. It was very good, though we skipped the second baking and stuffed the stuffing right on our plates. The leftovers we used in the next recipe which was “Southwest Mac and Cheese” on page 252. We cheated a little on that recipe and used real cheese, but it also was very good. I forgot to get pictures of those recipes and they are gone now, but oh well.
Today, we are cleaning house and getting ready for the weekend. Josh is making Strawberry shortcake for lunch and we will be making bread tomorrow as well as stuff for Sabbath. Then on Sunday or Monday we will be baking pies and cookies for Christmas day. Most of them are not from the cookbook, I think, but I will share them anyway as they are healthier recipes than your typical dessert recipes.
Anyway, thats all for now.
Have a great weekend, and a Merry Christmas!
A southwest mac and cheese dish does sound quite delicious!
