I choose this one because the husband likes cheddar soup. This was a great lunch for us! I think that this Cream of Cheddar Soup may be the best cheddar soup I have made of Rachael Rays. I’ve tried at least one other recipe this year, and this one takes the prize. I wasn’t able to use all the spices because even though my mom has a huge spice container, there was no coriander or cumin, which are in my storage currently. It was all still very tasty! I hope you try this one out, it’s a great salad too, with a real lite dressing!

Husband Says: “The soup is really good, I like it.”

Notes: We didn’t get to use all the avocado, it wasn’t very good. I also used chicken tenders instead of breast. What I thought was a bad of chicken breast, was tenders. But it all still works the same!

For this Rachael Ray burger recipe, since it will be my last burger of the year, I splurged and bought Gouda. I need to go to some school where I can learn to properly cut fancy cheese. I know I butchered these slices, and since I made 8 burgers, 4 of them got Swiss cheese instead. I guess it was the thought that counted. It is interesting to me that each cheese has distinctive flavors. To be honest, most of the time I like cheddar, sharp cheddar over anything else. Yellow cheese it’s the way to go! I will say for my last burger of the year this one was an excellent choice. I am glad I made it!

Family says: “These burgers are really good.” (Since we moved in with my parents temporarily everyone gets to eat!)

Notes: Well, I had to substitute just hamburger buns, you should’ve seen the grocery store. I guess no one is getting their trucks due to the snow here, so it is so bare. People just weren’t ready for what hit us! I thought the sauteed onions on this were great, I loved the steak sauce with them. I did not make the spinach salad with this, no one would eat it!

I was very interested in stuffing the strawberries with chocolate and on top of that roasting them. This is a great lighter dessert, but my mom, the husband, and I all really enjoyed it!

Notes: The strawberries this time of year aren’t very big, I ended up using chocolate chips, but I got 3 chips in 1 strawberry so that was good. I also thought it would be cute to put 3 strawberries in their own baking dish, the problem with this is the dish stays hot, so the whip cream melts away. It was still good without the whipped cream! I didn’t dust these with cocoa powder, just because I don’t really have a good tool for that. If I did it with a spoon, there would be too much.

I like a lot of pasta salads, so I thought this one was worth a try. This salad just burst with flavors, I only wish I had a mint to get rid of the red onion taste in my mouth. But I really enjoyed every bite. I would say this would probably be better suited for warmer weather, perfect for a nice spring or summer picnic along side some chicken!

Notes: I left out the celery on this, not because I didn’t have it, but purely because I do not like raw celery. I also made this the night before, which I think is perfect because all the flavors can come together better.

All the recipes this week to finish out the year come from it. This recipe is pretty light because our travel plans for Christmas got messed up by the massive snow storm here in OKC. But you just make do with what you can! I love salsa, so I was really excited to try this one. It is a good one. My mom tried it and she said, oh this is hot. This is not a mild salsa, but it’s a great hot one!

Notes: I used about 1 and a half chipotle peppers, and the cinnamon in this cools it off a little. The perfect compliment.
