My cooking triumphs
Made a Butternut Squash and Apple Curry Soup from scratch, followed no recipe at all and it turned out amazing!
My cooking tragedies
Destroyed chicken breasts on the BBQ....they were so dried and burnt, TERRIBLE! Not one of my best cooking moments. LOL

Baked Pork Spring Rolls
These were delicious! My only mistake was I think I cooked a full pound of ground pork and they were very meaty. Today I am going to make them again trying to use the right amount of pork this time. One of my friends said they were better than the ones served at the sushi place in our city!! I did add some crushed garlic, soya sauce, ginger and sesame oil to the meat while frying it. And left out the chile, but I will be adding it today to try it. Overall, these were so delicious! OH! I also used RICE PAPER WRAPS instead of spring rolls wrappers (the won ton kind) and they were soooooooo yummy!!

Honey Mustard Dressing I
OMG you MUST use this for BBQ chicken! BF made this to use as a marinade/sauce for BBQ chicken breasts a few weeks ago. Absolutely delicious! I'm making it tonight again to baste my chicken breasts with it....haven't tried it as a salad dressing yet, but I'm sure it would be yummy.

Beef Barley Vegetable Soup
Delicious! Craving a beef barley soup today and came across this recipe, sooooo glad I tried it! I followed the recipe almost exactly, just changing a few things to make it a bit easier. Didn't have the time to cook a whole roast, so used stewing beef instead, which I browned with the onions and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Used beef broth and water with bouillion powder, a clove of crushed garlic and 3 small potatoes diced. Instead of stewing tomatoes used diced ones. Also used 1 full cup of barley since I love it! I kept everything else the same (minus celery cause the hubby HATES celery in anything!) and it was amazing! Simmered it on the stove for 2 hours instead of crock potting it since I started it way late in the afternoon. Will DEFINATELY make this a staple soup recipe in our house from now on. Oh Ya! I also put a few splashes of Maggi seasoning into it as well. Thank you so much for the amazing recipe!! Cheers! :)
