My cooking tragedies
CHEESECAKE! I tried to make a "real" cheesecake once and ended up throwing it in the trash. :(

Spicy Rapid Roast Chicken
I needed a fairly quick way to prepare a whole chicken this evening and so I tried this recipe. I was using a 5 lb. chicken, so I doubled the spices. Also, I was out of cayenne and so I substituted white pepper for that. I rubbed the spices on top of and under the skin, then placed on a rack in a baking pan. Since I was using a bigger chicken, I left it at 450 for 30 minutes instead of 20. It was great!

Spicy Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup
I made this yesterday and thought it was delicious. I soaked my beans overnight, used the recommended ingredients except for using pickled jalapeno slices (about 1/4 cup) because I didn't have fresh and also I used minced garlic instead of garlic powder. I cooked it on low for about 10 hours then used an immersion blender to thicken it up. We served this soup with shredded cheddar and fresh cilantro. It was spicy, but not too much for us. We will definitely make this again!!

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
I made this Saturday and loved it!!! The only thing I did differently was cook it longer. I actually forgot it. I probably left it in the oven 15-20 minutes. However, it was larger asparagus, and I think it needed it anywya. It was still a little crispy when I took it out. The leftovers later were just as good - maybe better - at room temperature. We'll definitely make this again!!
