Failures

Sometimes when you're trying new things, they don't work out. (See also listening to friends' musical suggestions, trying out new restaurants, viewing documentaries you've never heard of...)

Here are a couple monumental recipe failures from the last week or two...



Beans with Pesto Bulgur
YECCCHHH! I was able to get two bites of this down before I realized I had made a horrible, horrible mistake! (Yes, you have to take the second bite to make sure you didn't somehow process it wrong.)



Couscous with Dried Fruit, Butternut Squash and Turmeric
Woah! I can't describe to you how much of a disappointment this one was.

Sesame Tofu Stir-fry


Meatless Tacos

So, I figured I would try something vegetarian every now and then, to dip my foot in another culinary pool, so to speak. I'm not sure what to think about tofu so far.

Summer Corn Soup



Salmon Teriyaki





Mozzarella Stuffed Burgers with Arugula Pesto

Here's three more from The Rock Cafe Cookbook.

Tuscan Style Chicken Pasta



Spicy Sausage Sandwiches

Here's another two from Runner's World. Lotsa protein!

Slow Cooker BBQ Ribs--I've got tons of Jack's BBQ sauce made up if anyone wants any...



Lemon Mustard Chicken--Also really good on a salad the next day.

Tomato Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Fresh tomatoes from the farmer's market! (I'm pretty sure that if you didn't process this in the blender and let it cool, you'd wind up with salsa.)

Grilled Salmon with Lentil Tabouli
