2010 - Week 50 Cooking Results

Croque-Madame Sandwiches (p78 December 2010/January 2011 Fine Cooking)

These were quite good, though, I perhaps left them a little took long (had to scrape off a little blackness, but not to much).  Clearly not good for you though.  It is one of those foods that is nice to have from time to time when the weather is cold.  It is the kind of sandwich that you eat with a fork though.

Cheddar and Salsa Pigs in a Blanket (p7 December 2010/January 2011 Cook's Country)

These were pretty good.  I think I'd like to try them with the Eden Farms Berkshire Hot Dogs (I think they have a better flavor then the Hebrew National).  I didn't cut them into small edible pieces, and put them in the freezer like the recipe suggested, but it did make for a sort of nostalgic, even though I don't think my mother ever made this, kick back to the youth of all of us.

Creamy Pasta with Lemon Pepper Chicken (RC December 2010/January 2011 Cook's Country)

This was quick and simple to make, which is a good thing, especially on a Friday where you don't bother to leave work until after 6.  It was pretty good.  Better then some, not as good as others.

White Bean Soup with Rosemary Croutons (RC December 2010/January 2011 Cook's Country)

This also made for a quick dinner.  I would've I think, liked it a bit thicker, perhaps puree more of the white beans, but it still made for a good dinner on a cold winters night.
