Recipe Testing: October 2015

I made this simple Baked Ziti dish and served it with garlic bread & salad. It was tasty, but not a big hit with my husband. He isn't a big fan of tomato sauces, but I'm still hopeful in my quest to find a tomato based pasta dish he'll like!

We don't eat much seafood, so I decided to branch out and make Lemon Garlic Tilapia. Served with mashed potatoes & asparagus. This was really good, and I'd make it again. I used frozen tilapia filets and next time I think I'd hunt down something really fresh.

I was given a ton of pears from the pear tree on the farm and decided to make an open face apple pie style pear pie. I based the filling off of this Apple Pie recipe, with the only differences being that I used pears & brown sugar. I made the crumb topping from this Apple Pie recipe, using chopped pecans.

I spent a good amount of time trying to catch loose pigs on the farm, and in payment I was given a ham steak. I'd never made ham steak so I found this recipe for Maple Glazed Ham Steak. I don't like maple syrup much so I used honey instead. I served it with baked potatoes & green beans. The glaze was tasty and I might use it for pork chops or tenderloin in the future!

I made White Chicken Enchiladas from the Pioneer Woman's website, and true to all her recipes they turned out delicious! Unlike many recipes I try, I followed this one exactly. I think frying the tortillas really helps them maintain their texture. This dish felt very "comfort food" to me, tasty cheesy creamy gooey goodness :)

I made burgers on the stovetop recently, and found this info from TheKitchn to be very helpful!

We ran out of the waffle mix my husband loves, Stonewall Kitchen Farmhouse Mix, so I made this Waffles I recipe. It was tasty, but didn't turn out as crispy as the usual mix.
