One down, only 248 to go! Actually I tried 2 new recipes this week, and I really don't know how many are in the box. I am guessing. Because couting them one by one is too much work, that's why! lol So here we are:
Pineapple Limeade
2 c pineapple juice
1/4 c lime juice
1/4 c sugar
3 c sparkling water
Combine first 3 ingredients, add sparkling water just before serving.
*Not sure what they mean by sparkling water. Can you get carbonated water that has no flavor or additions? My first attempt I used club soda----not good, unless you like your drinks very dry! The second time around I used Sierra Mist (it's what I had on hand) and it was MUCH better. I would recommend something like ginger ale.
My take: It was tasty, but just a typical "punch" recipe. Nothing to see stars over. =)
Brief Burritos
1 lb ground beef
1 can (16oz) refried beans
1 can (10oz) rotel tomatoes, drained
1/2 c chili sauce
8 flour tortillas, warmed
1/2 c shredded cheddar
1/2 c sour cream
Cook beef until no longer pink; drain. Stir in refried beans, tomatoes and chili sauce; heat through. Spoon about 1/2 cup down the center of each tortilla; top with cheese and sour cream. Fold up and serve.
My take: I liked these! Very easy---easy enough for me to be able to do it after work even if I had to work the next day. Don't require much energy and very tasty. I used ground turkey and you can't even taste it. My filling was a little more runny than I usually think of for burritos, but it may have been the turkey---or the fact that I didn't realize the tomatoes were supposed to be drained until after I had them in the skillet.....duh! The filling is quite tomato-ey (not a word, I know! But you know what I mean, right?), and not real beany, so I'm thinking next time I make it I'll used more beans. I love beans! All in all I give it an A+ and plan to put it in the "to make again" category.
So there you have it. What category should I try next week? Any suggestions?
Happy Eating! =)
