Recipe Inspirations

Joe brought home some of these nifty pre-measured spices and recipe cards from  McCormick®  for me to try. So far I've made the Quesadilla Casserole, Garlic Lime Fajitas and Apple and Sage Pork Chops. All were good, very easy to make and a great "go to" for last minute dinners or if you just can't be bothered looking up a recipe or figuring out what to cook. Basically, they are a "cooking for dummies" kind of concept. Perfect for a harried mother of three!

The Garlic Lime Fajitas were really good. Perfect spice with a bit of zing.

The best part is that you can add as much or as little of the spices as you like. I don't particularly like oregano, so I only added half the suggested amount to the Quesadilla Casserole. 

We're looking forward to making Shrimp & Pasta Primavera on Friday.

Vegetable Pie

Checkout the vegetable pie I made. It is featured in the Gatehouse Holiday Cookbook. 

It looked better than it tasted. The recipe was a tad off. But I should have known better than to use all the sesame oil that the recipe asked for. Not sure where the original recipe was from, it was something we were asked to make and photograph for the Cookbook.
