Here's a list of all the new recipes I tried this month. Some of them I tried because I had something that needed to be used up. Others I tried just because. Some of them I didn't have all the ingredients so I had to switch it with something else.
Oatmeal is hard for me to get down because of negative childhood memories but I can eat it better if it's baked. I came across this maple pecan baked oatmeal and decided to try it. My favorite part was that some of the pecans were quite toasted on top. I could've ate them like candy...
These are supposed to be cottage cheese pancakes. I added some cacao to give them a chocolate twist and even though they didn't taste bad they were so flat! Not at all like the picture!
My favorite, other than the pie below, was my favorite. I didn't have any crunchy toppings so I added Parmesan cheese.
I had some spaghetti squash that needed to be used up so I tried this. I didn't have the kind of cheese called so I used what I had.
This cottage cheese pasta sauce turned out amazing. It's better hot than cold just in case you would like to try it.😉
These honey mustard potatoes were good. My only problem with it was that I didn't taste and mustard. I guess I was comparing the taste to something like honey mustard pretzels. It was a poor comparison. I also think I might not have had the right kind of mustard...they were still good though.
I had cauliflower to use up so tried this recipe. I used raw garlic and got a little too much in the sauce so it was quite peppy.
I also tried this avocado egg recipe as I had some avocados to use up. I didn't have lime/lemon juice so I skipped that and instead of mayonnaise I used sour cream and added a number of my own spiI have no photo but you can find the recipe here:
I didn't have Gouda cheese so I used what I had and it was so 😋!
I came across this hot buttered applesauce one day when I was scrolling on Pinterest...instead of using apples I used applesauce and just heated it up instead of cooking it. It was an interesting twist to plain applesauce...
These were supposed to be chocolate covered coconut blackberry bars. I used blueberries instead. I had some shredded coconut that was who knows how many years old that I decided to use up so it could be that something was the wrong proportion, but anyway, I couldn't get them covered in chocolate so I ended up dumping the chocolate on top and spreading it out as best I could. It felt like the biggest flop I've had in a long time...
I had some pears to use up so I decided to try a pear sour cream pie. It was so delicious!
If you wanted to try something new maybe you can find something from my list that you would like to try. Please, if you don't mind, I'd love to hear what one of your favorite recipes are to make...I love to hear what others enjoy!
