Review of 3/23-3/27 Recipes

Monday: The butter chicken was Yum-Oh! We had it with rice instead of naan cuz I was too lazy to make it. I did not have fenugreek leaves or food coloring. Also, instead of using cream, I used 2% milk and it turned out just fine. The husband was very pleased! Unfortunately my camera was dead, so I had to use my horrible cell phone camera. Oh well!

Tuesday: The chicken sandwiches actually turned out pretty good. I was kind of scared they would not taste good. I had some leftover garbano beans so I made some hummus as well. I think this would be better as a lunch item rather than dinner. Also I think it tasted better without yogurt. This would also taste good as a plain salad!



Wednesday: The drunken noodles were okay. I ended up finding Thai Basil at an Asian store in Elgin. However, I was unable to find the Sen Yai noodles. I went to three diff stores and none of them carried it. The only thing I would do differently is use less oyster sauce. It made the noodles taste a little fishy!



Thursday and Friday: I was too tired to cook on Thursday and we had leftover drunken noodles, so we had that. Today (Friday), I won't be home the whole day...which means I can't cook. I'll try the recipes over the weekend if we are home, or they will be pushed to next week!

Saturday: I made the chicken picatta....I think I put a bit too much lemon juice, cuz it was very lemony! Overall, the dish was alright, nothing too ohh ahh about it. I used a cookbook I never used before, so now I am kind of hesitant to try other dishes...
