Here are the new recipes that I tried this month...
Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
I love peanut butter and banana smoothies and I am getting tired the the basic banana muffin so I gave this one a try. They were very easy to make. I did mine in a mixing bowl inside of a blender and I think they turned out fine. I also topped my with chocolate chips. I tried them right out of the oven and did not like them. Once they cooled however, they were delicious!
Baked Ziti
Who can pass up a good, comforting, baked pasta? When I made this recipe I cut it in half. The original is for 12 people; a little much for my family of 4 (1 being a small child and 1 being a newborn). My husband loves Italian sausage so I didn't use any hamburger and used all Italian sausage. He really enjoyed it. It tasted very much like lasagna to me. It was very good. The next time I make it, I will make the full recipe, but put half in the freezer for another night.
Cheesy Hasselback Chicken
This chicken is another take on Chicken Cordon Blue. It was very easy to make and very good. I think it would be fun to play with the types of cheese used. My grocery store was out of Colby Jack so I used Monterey Jack cheese. I think a sharp cheddar would also be very good.
I try very hard to not cook the same things over and over. Of course we have our family favorites, but I also enjoy cooking new things. I try to cook something new each week. In the past, I have subscribed to many cooking magazines to get new ideas. I would tear out recipes that interested me. Just recently I create a new organized way to store and save these recipes. You can read about that here - Recipe Binder. Now I have Pinterest :) The nice thing about Pinterest is I don't have to print off the recipes. I can pin them to my boards and quickly access them on my iPad when I am meal planning and cooking. Here are my recipe boards if you want to take a look:
