First, Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Vinegar. I only had one little bunch of asparagus and wish that I had more because this was so tasty. Here it is before going in the oven:
I've been trying to branch out and make things that we normally wouldn't try. One of those things is Bleu Cheese. I've only had this a couple of times and liked it, so when I saw this recipe I thought it would be worth a shot. It is Pasta with Tomato Bleu Cheese Sauce. It was pretty good, not fantastic. If you like Bleu Cheese you'd love this dish. Still, my kids ate it (which I was so surprised about!) and we all thought it was yummy. I think next time I'll try it with feta or something just to see what it would be like. Also, so you know, we added an extra 14oz. can of tomatoes just to dilute the strong cheese flavor a little bit. I think I'll add extra spinach next time too, it didn't seem like there was enough in it.
(Side note: You'll see in the picture a delicious looking salad. We put baby arugula (first time I've purchased that one), halved red grapes, feta cheese, candied pecans, and Brianna's Blushing Wine Vinegraitte. If you've never tried any of Brianna's salad dressing, you haven't lived!)
Ah, Le Pez de Resistance. (Uh, sorry, I took German not French, can you tell?) Blackberries came in our Bountiful Basket basket yesterday, so I thought I'd try this little humdinger. Very yummy. I think this is the best way to treat a blackberry actually. This is Pioneer Woman's Blackberry Cobbler #1. And it's goooooood.
We sprinkled sugar very generously before putting it in the oven.
Then a few minutes before pulling it out, I put some sugar chrystals/sprinkles (found near the cake decorating section in the baking aisle) on top to give it a little crunch. Way awesome.
This was totally delicious, although I might like this one better (I made it with cranberries during the holidays and everybody raved). Can't decide.
