Monday night I made chili. I think the recipe was pretty good. Nice subtle heat on the back. One change I would make in the future - I wouldn't use any sugar and I'd probably use a beer instead of the wine. But overall, I could use the recipe again.
Wednesday night we planned to have tuna and sauteed spinach. I thought we needed a little something to go with it. I found this recipe by Pioneer Woman. I modified a little but it was still great. Only thing to change for the future is more chili for heat. (My modification was to use garlic chili paste, but I guess I didn't use enough.)
Last night we tried two recipes. Balsamic Flank Steak and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese. Both were very yummy! The flank steak had a nice flavor. I did not modify the recipe at all. However, in the future I would probably not use the brown sugar (what is it with the sugar being added to these recipes) and might add some olive oil. The Mac and Cheese was great!! I only had one jalapeno so I added a serrano chili. Um, yeah, lots of heat. But it was good. Modification in the future, maybe a little less flour.
And last week I tried this salad for lunch. It was really good. I changed the dressing ratio, but otherwise made it as is. I've had it twice. Nice alternative to a traditional green salad.
So tell me.....any recipe pins out there I need to repin?
