Recipe Resolution; A Culinary Adventure

Teaching myself to cook by preparing new recipes to try out on family and friends as often as possible. I am not a natural talent when it comes to cooking so this is truly a learning experience. I choose to use organic and locally grown produce as well as growing many of my own organic herbs and vegetables. Join me in my adventure as I prepare the great, the good, the mediocre, the bad and the ugly. Hopefully more of the former and less of the latter. :)

Week Twenty-One Recap

This week I chose to prepare simple yet diverse recipes. The Turkey Sandwich with Hoisin Mayonnaise was the star of the week. It was delicious, easy to prepare and healthy. I will definitely make this sandwich in the future. The recipe for Orecchiette with Mixed Greens and Goat Cheese was good but it didn't end up being one of my favorites. I am quite sure now that I don't prefer sun-dried tomatoes and unfortunately, this recipe didn't end up keeping well in the refrigerator. Finally, the smoothie was a tasty and healthy way to start the day but it was a bit too sweet for me. I will keep making my own smoothie concoctions and when I stumble across a good one, I will post the recipe. Here is this week's recap:
