Trying New Things

So, since I am currently looking for work, I decided that I wanted to try at least one new meal a week.  For me, its difficult coming up with a variety of dinners that are easy to cook, and healthy.  So far I have tried a few new things out, some that I have liked, and others that I have not liked.

Last week I attempted at making home made mac-n-cheese.  That didn’t come out so good.  It was a lot of work, and the portion was so big that it could have fed about 12 people.  To top it off it didn’t reheat well, so that one was a flop. 

This week I have tried two new things.  First was a Chinese cabbage salad (Found here: http://jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com/2011/08/chinese-cabbage-salad.html).   This turned out really good, and I will be making it again.  I made peanut sauce dressing that I really liked, but mark didn’t.  So the only change for that will be that I will not mix the dressing in.  Mark did not like the dressing, so I will leave it off and we can pick our dressing. 

Last night I cooked this yummy crab wrapped in salmon.  It was something they sold at the grocery store, so of course I paid more for it because it was already assembled, but it was so Yummy!!!  Basically it was a crab mix then rolled into salmon. I cooked like a roast for 25 minutes in the oven and served it with Asparagus. 

Tonight I am trying lasagna in the crock pot and will have to let you know how it turns out. Missing all our friends in AZ right now.  We are headed to a young adults service tonight, so hopefully we will meet some new people!
