Barbecue pulled chicken sliders, homemade coleslaw, and a cobb salad. These were awesome! This was my first time making coleslaw. I used too many carrots so it turned orange. Other than that, this was a good one.
RECIPES:
Pad Thai
For the third recipe of Noodle Week, I decided to go back to some Asian foods and try making pad thai and egg drop soup. This recipe called for tamarind paste which I didn’t have. I think it might be a key ingredient. This tasted good, but it didn’t taste like pad thai. My mom made this a few weeks ago and hers tasted totally different. So one of us messed up pretty bad.
RECIPES:
Meyer Lemon Chicken Piccata
Meyer lemon chicken piccata, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a garden salad. This was really as quick as the recipe said it’d be. This was definitely strong on the lemon flavor. Next time it’d probably cut the lemon quantity in half.
RECIPES:
Turkey Burgers w Proscuitto & Cantalope
Turkey burgers with proscuitto and cantalope, spicey sweet potato wedges with a mayonnaise honey sauce, sauteed spinach, and a garden salad. Cantalope!? On a burger? It sounds weird, but it tastes surprisingly good. It has a similar texture as a tomato and is just a little bit sweeter, so it really wasn’t as weird as I was expecting. I really should have bought bigger buns though.
RECIPES:
Tandoori-spiced Chicken
Tandoori-spiced chicken with basmati rice, a side of sauteed garlic spinach, and a fresh garden salad. Topping it off with citrus pudding for dessert. I’m not gonna lie, the citrus pudding was a little weird. It tasted good, but it was weird getting that flavor from pudding.
