Belated December Crockpot (Stovetop and Oven) Recipe Report Card

Tweet

Better late than never, as promised, here's what meals I've made last month and how I rated them on the stove and crockpot. Once again, it's a mix of some incompletes (the pies), some hits and one miss. And that's not too bad after all. Here's the lowdown on the recipes: 1.Extraordinary Stovetop Macaroni and Cheese (Mom's recipe box.)-D-. Once again, I had a problem with making the sauce and the macaroni. So I had no leftovers for this meal. I'll redoing it for another redemption round later this spring. 2. Crockpot Peanut Butter Lava Cake (2x)-A+. The second time was the charm as I let it cook for 2 hours. This was delicious. I even had two rounds of leftovers last month for a filling desert. 2. Italian Grilled Cheese Sandwich-A-. All you need was a tomato and Italian dressing on the bread. A quick and simple meal to add with soup on a cold night. No leftovers since I had one sandwich. 3. Turkey Veggie Meatloaf Cups-A-. Though I made six in my muffin tins, it came out real well and pretty filling to add. I had leftovers with only half of my cups to have for another night. 4. BBQ Lentils-A+. Delicious and scrumptious for a quick meal. I had leftovers for sure. 5. Chicken Pepper Pasta--A+. A fantastic combo of chicken and pasta to cook on the stove and be put together. I've made enough for two servings and had no leftovers. 6. Rich Pecan Pie-Incomplete. Since my brother brought me a frozen pecan pie last month, I didn't make it. But I will this month, probably toward this weekend. 7. Sweet Potato Casserole--A-. This came out pretty good and easy to make for a side dish. I've had no leftovers. 8. Cheese Garlic Biscuits--Incomplete. I ran out of shredded cheddar cheese and biscuits to make it last month. I'll make it next month. 9. Maple Salmon-A+. Very easy to make on a Friday night and add with any side dish to complete the meal. I loved the sauce. 10. Classic Walnut Pie--Incomplete. I didn't have a chance to make it and will do it next week. 11. Crockpot Scalloped Potatoes and Ham--A-. Whether as a side dish or a main meal, this hit the spot even by used ham steak as cooked ham. I had enough for one round of leftovers. 12. Fast N Fabulous Dark Chocolate Fudge (x2)-Incomplete. I didn't get a chance to make it and will do it later this month. 13. Country Creamed Chicken-A-. A simple dish to put together with canned green beans--and for an alternative twist, add fresh corn kernels. I might try that at another time. And yes I had one round of leftovers. 14. Stuffed Butternut Squash--A-. I had no problems cutting the squash with my knife, though I did get a tiny cut on my finger. Yay! I had one half for one meal and the second half for leftovers for last Friday night. I had leftover veggies and rice for the stuffing too. 15 . Stuffed Chicken Breasts-B. Once again, I had trouble flattening my chicken and stuffing it. Though it came apart when I turned it over, it came out all right. I need to get toothpicks somewhere down the road. That's about it. Stay tuned tomorrow for my January recipe list! Bon appetite!
