They made the Lemon Cakes and Cheeseburger Salad at TEAM meeting on Monday and they were great (the salad was even good cold).

So I was just wondering if anyone's tried the newest F/W recipes and what your votes are for your favorites.
 
We made the interactive recipe for the Hamburger Stroganoff (I don't know if that's the official recipe name) at my cluster meeting on Monday, it was very good!
 
I have not made the Cheeseburger Salad (is not appealing to me what-so-ever), but on a Director call today, one of the gals said her team thought a "Bacon & Blue Cheese" Burger Salad would work well as well...I'm just passing that along in case anyone is looking for variety.

yum!!! I like that idea. Because I wasn't so tickled about the cheeseburger idea but my hubby would love the bacon and blue cheese idea. Another idea, is to go ahead and keep some of the hamburger in it and then add those items. I make some really good greek meatballs that have feta cheese in them and my hubby loves them!:love:

We tried the Lemon Cakes that are made in the prep bowls.....YUM-O.... AND very very easy to make....now I know I am going to need LOTS of prep bowls.

I'm curious how do those taste?
 
I have 3 sets of the prep bowls. We found we were really using them, especially since my son is diabetic and has to measure everything.

Noooo, they are going to be on supply order!;)
 
I tried the lemon cakes the first day I found the recipe and they were very delish!!! My daughter helped witht the recipe and they were very easy and very beautiful - my only advice is not to buy the largest lemon you can find - my lemons were slightly larger then the bottom of the bowls and did not lay very flat in prep but when finished cooking they had formed themselves around the cake. Highly recommend them for home or shows!!:)
 
The cheeseburger salad was done at my cluster meeting ... couldn't stand it because of the pickles!I want to try the lemon ones ... but I don't have enough prep bowls! Plus they'd ALL have to be eaten by me b/c Roomie hates lemon cake!

Bet the recipe will work in the mini muffin pan, baked then drizzled too. Cute little lemon bites. I feel my waistband expanding already!

Funny I wanted to do this recipe for my meeting and I didn't because I didn't have pickles! :)
 
We made the Tacos from the Power Cooking Show last night. They were a little too pasty. Next time I might try it with half of the tomato paste. Other than that they were pretty good for Tacos. I froze the Stroganoff and Chili for later in the week. I also bought the ingredients to make the Cheeseburger Salad and the Lemon Cakes. I'll let you know how those go once we've tried them!
 
I had the Greek Cheese Torta and it was sooo good! I had it the way the recipe states, but tonight for our end of year meeting I am making it with roasted red peppers which I think will be even better!
 
When all else fails--read the recipe!!!!!. I tried the lemon cakes and couldn't figure out why the batter was SO thick! Jiffy cake mix!!! WELL DUH!!!! A regular 18 oz cake mix comes out pretty dense (like me I guess!)
Live and Learn!
 
One Pot PastaWe tried the One-Pot Pasta tonight - It was wonderful!!!

(DH thinks we should have it once a week! LOL!)

I followed the recipe using the 1 lb box of regular Penne. Wondering if anyone has tried it using whole wheat or multi grain pasta - those boxes are only 13-14 oz so I wasn't sure how it would change the recipe. I am going to try the whole wheat pasta next time.

Also, I used 2 cans reg chicken broth and 1 can reduced sodium/fat. It turned out great. Next time I might try 2 cans of the reduced sodium broth.

It was very easy and delish! And it makes a lot!

The only problem is that I CAN'T DEMO THIS! From what I can tell the 8 qt stock pots are only available in sets!!! Ugh! I really wish they would let us buy the pot! (At home I am using my W-S brand - but can't do that at a show!!!!) I guess if I have a host who has the set then I can use hers....

Funny, I made them and found them too soupy! Next time I'll use less salsa :D

The salsa I used was really thick, so that might have been why mine didn't get soupy. Plus when you let it simmer some of that evaporates.
 
I made the Italian Beef Hoagies for dinner tonight, and froze the Stroganoff and Sloppy Joe mixes. The Hoagies were pretty good, and the Sloppy Joe mix was yummo! (I didn't sample the stroganoff yet).

Oh my. I soooo just realized by this post that that was what I did wrong! And I even watched the demo! The middle of the cakes were fine, but the outside was pure batter. And I could barely stir the mix and I was thinking, "it didn't look this hard in the video." Thanks for pointing that out. I was looking forward to making them at a show this weekend and felt upset that mine came out so horrible. Now on to try them again tomorrow!
