Any good recipes work for you yesterday?
Anyone host yesterday? Anything work well or poorly for you?
Re: Any good recipes work for you yesterday?
I made black bean hummus...with a can of black beans, true lemon, tahini, si si cilantro from tastefully simple, garlic...it was good
another day I combined a can of garbanzo beans with feta, 4 roma tomatoes, basil, balsamic, sugar, evoo, pepper...for a salad, that was okay
We didn't host, but I played with some stuff. I did an orzo pasta salad- half pound cooked orzo, a jar of marinated artichokes with the juice, the juice and some zest of a lemon and a few shakes of oregano, a diced cucumber, 2 roma tomatoes, and a container of feta. Then I added balsamic vinagrette until it tasted good. And it tasted very good.
I also modified some baked beans by adding a can of black beans, some BBQ sauce and hot sauce.
Hi Tarheels! Had last minute male dinner guest on Friday night and made Dr. Annie's Strawberry Margaritas. Here is the recipe:

They were awesome - and very well received!
Sorry I don't know how to make it "clicky" - I also can't access my profile on the Nest for some reason... to update it. Am falling behind technically
BTW - I also made "Bison" Burgers with ground All Natural Free Range Bison which I found at our local grocery - which also turned out really well - and was easy for me to do last minute. My DH and I won't eat reg. ground beef anymore - these were worth the splurge - delicious and gamey. Also - don't laugh at me... but I made chopped Cole Slaw with Hidden Valley Cole Slaw Dressing... Cucumber and Potato Salad and Frozen Girl Scout Cookies... was lucky I had these things on hand...
Hope you had a great weekend too!
