Something new

FIRST OFF...THIS IS POST #111

Randomness, I know, but being that I forgot to mention #100, the next logical milestone was #111.

Anyways, I have been trying to come up with new and exciting dinner ideas for the family and have been scouring recipe books, cooking magazines and just about anything that might have recipes in it. Every week I try at least one random new recipe for dinner and dessert, and I decided to start documenting my attempts at cooking on the blog. Tonight was a Broccoli Beef Casserole and a Peanut Butter Pie...the pictures of the final products are below as are the final reviews...

Casserole....

Karyl - Loved it

Diana - It was OK, I didn't mind eating it but wouldn't go through the work to do it again.

Greg - Wasn't bad, but I don't think he'll be requesting it by name anytime in the future.

Peanut Butter Pie...

Karyl - LOVED it, she even helped me make it

Diana - Surprisingly impressed, especially considering the fact I got tripped up by the wording in the recipe and put whipping CREAM instead of whipped topping (Cool Whip). I just beat it all really well hoping the air would find it's way in and things would work out fine...and they did!!

Greg - Two thumbs up!!!!

So YAY, while the dinner didn't exceed anyone's expectations, the dessert was a hit!! There is nothing that makes me happier than hearing Greg say "Wow, that was good!!" When you get to be a wife and a mom, you live to make your husband and kids happy, and when you do make them smile, it just makes your day!!
