Rachael Ray: Cream of Cheddar Soup and Chicken and Lime Salad

Michelle — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 19:00:34 +0000

Well, here is my last Rachael Ray recipe of the year. 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!

Rachael Ray: Bacon Bit and Gouda Burgers

This one missed the schedule…sorry….

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!

Rachael Ray: Stuffed Strawberries

Michelle — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:54:45 +0000

This Rachael Ray recipe was so intriguing because we love chocolate covered strawberries. 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.

Rachael Ray: Mac n Jack Salad

Michelle — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 19:00:59 +0000

This Rachael Ray recipe for pasta salad is one I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. 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.

Rachael Ray: Peanut Butter and Jelly Moose

Michelle — Sat, 26 Dec 2009 19:00:20 +0000

This Rachael Ray dessert was good and rich. It also involves no baking, but would be a good ending to a nice meal. I’m sure it is very kid friendly as well. What kid doesn’t love PB&J? I’m not going to say this is the last dessert of the year because I haven’t made next week’s grocery list, but it would be a good one to end on!

Rachael Ray: Christmas Pasta

Michelle — Fri, 25 Dec 2009 19:00:54 +0000

I have been excited to make this Rachael Ray pasta all year. It did not dissappoint! There were so many wonderful flavors. It was really great. To me, really it is a glorified meat sauce, but it was better then most meat sauces I have tried in my day. I love meat sauce, so that is saying a lot!

Notes: I did not use veal because I can not find it at the local grocery store, and I thought I had some cheese, but we didn’t, which was sad. We used a little shredded mozzarella.

Rachael Ray: Fancy Pants Bangers and Mash

Michelle — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 19:00:01 +0000

I choose this Rachael Ray recipe because I could make sausages again, and the little one loves those. It’s one of the few meats we can get him to eat, of course I always buy the ones with cheese in it. This recipe is great, it all taste so good together. A perfect meat and potatoes meal! If your man is a meat and potatoes guy, this one is for him!

Notes:I should have bought the steam-able red skinned potatoes, those mash up so quickly. My mom loved the mashed potatoes, with the cream cheese they just taste amazing! I didn’t use any red wine, I hadn’t bought it yet, I thought I just needed it tomorrow night!

Rachael Ray: Hamburger and Onion Stuffed Bread

Michelle — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 19:00:56 +0000

This Rachael Ray recipe to me reminds me of a hamburger in a boat. It was good, it was filling, but nothing to out of the ordinary or amazing. It is very easy to make and kid friendly, so I guess you can’t complain about that!

Notes: I used a wheat french bread, it was pretty good. My mom didn’t have any spicy mustard, and I didn’t pick up any at the store. I will say without that it was dry, not horrible since the sauce in the meat, but dryer then I would have liked! My fault though.

Rachael Ray: Pizza Pretzel

Michelle — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:11:33 +0000

I realize this post is very late. We moved out of our house yesterday, into storage, and over to my parents. So things are so crazy trying to get everything organized. This Rachael Ray recipe is a great little snack to prepare. Perfect for when the kids come home from school. Very tasty too, but please excuse my poor excuse for attempting to roll these into pretzels. I gave it a good shot!
