2013 - Week 13 Cooking Results

Skillet Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese (RC Cook's Country April / May 2013)

Came together easy, after a long day of work, tasted pretty good.  It a creamy sauce and just right broccoli.  Good thing.​

indoor Burgers with Crispy Onions (RC Cook's Country April / May 2013)

So I didn't make the crispy onions, and instead of using america cheese, I used Holland Family Farm's 18 month Gouda and some La Quercia Tamworth Smoked Pancetta.  It did make a tasty burger.

So on a side note I understand why the fine folks at La Quercia have renamed the bacon to smoked pancetta (it's hard to justify the $/pound if someone thinks it is just bacon), but I don't really agree with it.  It really is diluting the idea of pancetta.  It still tastes good though.​

Hawaiian Fried Rice (p5 Cook's Country April / May 2013)

This is pretty much as expected.  Tasted good, came together quickly fit in well for the week.​

Hot Pepper Noodles (p22 Bon Appetit March 2013)

I made this on Friday.  Friday was the first day of the week that I actually got home at a reasonable hour, and I proceeded to nap instead of just coming home and starting to make dinner.​  This led to another late dinner like the rest of the week, but I sure felt good about it.

Soft Chicken Tacos

​Good repeat meal.  I used the Milton Creamery's Quark, like I did last time.  It was another wonderful suggestion from the Cheese Shop.
