What’s For Dinner: Week 1 Review

April 18, 2010

So, week one is down. Of the foods we tried, here are the results.

WINNERS!

Peppers stuffed with brown rice, feta and a tomato saute – We have had this meal many times before and have always loved it. What I love most is that it fits nicely into our new nutritional guides.

Strawberry and spinach salad with homemade poppy seed dressing – This was a new one for our fam and we loved it. In fact, Jeremiah really loved it. Now I almost feel guilty if I make him any other type of salad.

Veggie subs – Again, have had them many times before and will be having many more in the future. Delicious!

Homemade whole wheat rolls – Light, fluffy, nutritious, made from scratch! Loved that I was able to freeze them after the first rise. I will be posting the recipe for these very soon.

LOSERS!

Veggie Burgers – I didn’t mind them so much. Didn’t hate them. Didn’t love them. But, I think Arwyn summed up everyone else’s feelings when she said, “Mommy, this hamburger tastes disgusting to me.”

Homemade hamburger buns – I used a recipe online and it had received rave reviews. But, mine turned out hard, dense, and dry. I will be trying a different recipe next time.

Sweet potato french fries – Breckin is the only one who ate his. I don’t mind the taste of them, but had a hard time looking past the texture. It was icky. Plus, I burnt some of them.

If you look at the original dinner menu, you will see that one night at dinner, our whole meal sort of sucked. I will be posting this weeks menu sometime tomorrow. Stay tuned……
