I like trying new recipes and have never been afraid to do so! My goal is to try two to three new recipes a month. However, sometimes that means I have to risk having a dinner that flops! My Chicken Marbella flopped pretty badly. Beloved said, "Why are there prunes in it?" (giggle!) I assured him that I would just cook him homemade Spaghetti today. After all when a Man heads out of town you want his last meal to be a good memory.

And your Spaghetti is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteMiss everyone. Tell Beloved, we love him and hope to see him in September.
At least it looks pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI've made many a recipe that flopped too but if we don't try them we'll never know. Enjoy your day and God bless.
ReplyDeleteLOVED the quote! I am one who can't cook and does.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting you back! Thanks for stopping by.
Funny! I try new things all the time, and usually it's ME that doesn't like the outcome - but my husband usually loves it. Keep trying! A few of my "new" recipes have become our favorites!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kelly it looks very good.
ReplyDeleteI flopped this week as i poured seasoning into the chicken a la king the sprkinle top flew off and 1/4 cup of organic no salt spice (mostly pepper/garlic) nearly ruined dinner. My husband even told me it would be fine and tested it to only have his eyes pop out and water be much needed, and he loves pepper. It is funny how our best intentions aren't always edible. BTW it is BLT pita's tonight :).Have a blessed day.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know I'm not the only one who flops her recipes!
ReplyDeletelol, the picture looks great!
ReplyDeletelol! That quote tickles me! Well, every adventurer has a flop every now and then. ;) And as another comment said, at least it looks pretty!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment on my blog, btw! Very encouraging! I'm still trying to feel my way around blogspot, so I wasn't sure if I reply on there if the person will see it... anyway, I miss the good ol' xanga days! and miss you on FB! I bought a new broach recently and thought of you. :) I hope you're doing well. <3
Marianna. Oh, I miss the Sisterhood we shared on Xanga too. I loved how all of us ladies came together for comments and encouragment!!! Often, I think we should create a Sisterhood here where we purposely are accountable in uplifting each other here! I wonder who would be game?!
ReplyDeleteThank You for your sweet words about missing me on FB. I miss seeing all of your VOH pictures. You girls were such a highlight to my day when I would see your stats. And, of course, I think your Mom is just top-notch!
I would like to see a glimps of your broach! You gals always dress so classy!
I love the quote too! I'm not a cook and hesitant to try. What a great attitude you have though! I might have to try a new recipe this month!
ReplyDeleteWas it the prunes, or the fact that there was fruit in itat all? Some folks just don't care for fruit in their dinner, and I've had a couple of those in my family!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like an interesting recipe to me (but I guess I won't bother to try it) :)
The chicken didn't really have much taste. The prunes fought with the red wine vinegar, I think. If I make it again, I would leave out the capers and the prunes but keep everything else because it really was a nice gravy over wild rice.
