This week’s food network chef’s challenge hosted by I Blame My Mother was Michael Chiarello. Boy was this a challenge for the life of me I couldn’t find a recipe of his that I wanted to make. I don’t know what it was but everything I found either didn’t appeal to me and/or it was difficult to make with hard to find ingredients.
Or so I thought…..
Until I ran across Candi’s post at Family, Stamping and FOOD. She found and made a wonderful breakfast bar recipe and I have all the ingredients and love recipes like this. Great job Candi I can’t wait to try them out.
Then I saw SnoWhite’s post on a lovely tomato soup that even her and her hubby enjoyed both of whom aren’t fans of tomato soup. I knew I wanted to try this immediately with a grilled cheese sandwich, oh yum! Again I had all the ingredients and could easily use my freezer tomatoes.
So there you have it! He does have fabulous recipes, I just didn’t search hard or long enough. But I did want to share some great recipes (and great blogs too) even if I didn’t make them.
To check out more friday fails see My Blessed Life.
I had to really look to find something. We ended up very much enjoying the soup, and last night we made a very green soup (broccoli and spinach) that was also quite good.
I wish I would have gone your route because the recipe I did was nasty!
Me too. I wanted to try one of his yummy meals but the produce in our area is just not in season. That’s why I opted for the breakfast bars. I’m glad I read the comments because otherwise I wouldn’t have tried to make them. They turned out great!
Love your site!
I love cooking, baking and talking about my twin daughters, so I will be reading along on what you are up to!
Oh, tomato soup is the best! Especially on a cold, rainy day…served with warm grilled cheese sandwiches. I wish we lived closer so we could pop in for lunch! Could you imagine the mess our kids would make? Hahahaha!
I recently discovered Sno White. She really is a wealth of info and great recipes!
