Trying out a couple of new recipes.

With being out of town and then me being sick, it had been a while since I had cooked. So, I decided to try out a couple of new recipes last Thursday. I made Lemon-mustard pork chops, squash and veggie couscous, dilled potatoes with feta, and corn on the cob. These were all recipes that I had never made...except the corn on the cob.



The Pork actually was really good and had really good flavor. Matt would have hated it because of the mustard, but we liked it. The couscous was ok...not my favorite couscous recipe. I think that the lemon pepper was what ruined it for me. The dilled potatoes with feta cheese I chose because I know that Zack loves feta. I wasn't sure what to expect with the dill, but it actually ended up having a kinda refreshing quality to it and I liked the potatoes.

After dinner, I decided to make some smoothies. I stumbled across a couple of smoothie recipes that I want to try and this was the first one we've tried so far. It was a Peach Citrus Smoothie...and it was pretty good. Although, if I make it again, I think that I would reduce the amount of honey called for.
