From Our Kitchen - a recap

We've been trying a few new meals lately.  Most of which were found via Pinterest.  I love trying new recipes, but I'm always a little skeptical of how it will turn out.  People pin everything they see on Pinterest, sometimes without even reading a recipe to know if it's actually worth making. In other words, just because it's a popular pin doesn't mean it's a great recipe.  However, I have pinned my share of recipes and am now trying to weed through them. I am also working on reorganizing my recipe binder and making it more uniform looking, so I have typed up the recipes we like in a simple format with an image. You can print these by clicking the corresponding link under each description below.
I thought about sharing some of these as step-by-step instructionals like I have before, but the ladies from each of these blogs do a better job of that with better images than I can, so their links are also below each image.
Here are those that we've tried lately:

Chicken Tikka Marsala

I decided to be adventurous a few weeks ago and "whip up" some Indian food at home.  I also tried my hand at the naan mentioned in the post - some of which turned out okay. The chicken was delicious. This meal is packed with flavor and some kick (reduce the amount of jalapeno if you're not a spicy fan.) You must marinate this - it makes all the difference!  We cooked rice to go along with this.

Chicken Cordon Bleu

This one will definitely make it into our regular series of meals.  It was quick to prep (even though I took the time to pound out the chicken breast halves to all be fairly even). I'm always looking for a new way to cook chicken, because let's face it, it can get boring. The panko breadcrumbs are what give this meal a special touch, so make sure you have those on hand. We served the sauce on the side. Since it is toasted breadcrumbs on top, this meal does not make the best leftovers - so make this for a crowd, or just reduce the amount of ingredients. These are all ingredients you probably have on hand anyway, so it's easy to modify for less.

Hawaiian Roll Ham Sandwiches

(original recipe post here)

(printable version here)

I'm sure you've seen these before somewhere. I made these this past weekend for Sunday lunch with Matt and Heidi. They were tasty, but once you see the amount of butter that goes on these, you'll know why I won't be regularly making them.  However, I'm sure I could change it some to help reduce clogged arteries. A few things to note: 1) there are lots of onions involved, but even if you don't like onions (Jesse) you may still like this dish. The onions are finely chopped and cooked until soft,  to bring out their sweetness which pairs really well with the sweet bead and other ingredients. 2) If I make this again I'll probably reduce the amount of cheese on top because my slices were kind of thick and it was a bit heavy. 3) You must use the Hawaiian sweet rolls - they make this dish.  (The bread always makes the sandwich no matter what you have going on inside.)

Apple Yogurt Cake

(my printable version here)

This one is seriously as delicious as it looks. Make it for your family when they visit (like I did) or make it for yourself to eat all week, because the longer it sits the better it gets!  I did make several modifications for this as I was making it (fingers were crossed that it would come out okay).  There was just too much oil and sugar in the original recipe for me to be okay with serving this for breakfast, so my printable version has my rendition.

Give one of these a try and let me know how you liked it, or if you changed anything!
