Happy Saturday, y'all! This week has been a busy one for us in the kitchen. After making everything on the menu, I have lots to recap!
Asian Broccoli Chicken with Cashews - recipe from Kraft. It was good, but not out-of-this-world. I'd just soon make Thai Peanut Pasta and have that instead. This recipe was easy and quick, but lacked big flavor. So, I won't make it again. Here's what the final product looked like for us:
Feta & Vegetable Rotini Pasta Salad - recipe also from Kraft. I served this with mini turkey sandwiches on King's Hawaiian rolls. YUM! This pasta salad was delicious! It was super easy and made a ton. I added a chopped red bell pepper (because I had it) and splashed in some light balsamic dressing, too. We've been snacking on this since we made it. It's now a new favorite! Here's the pic:
Fresh Peach Salsa - this, too, came from Kraft. FABULOUS! It was so easy to whip this salsa up and add it to some grilled fish. We had Grouper and the salsa topped it off so well. I did double the recipe, because it seemed to not make enough. We'll most definitely make this again. We practically licked our plates clean :)
Blueberry Peach Galette - recipe from Cooking Light, but I've re-posted here. Best thing I made all week!!! This is the winner. It was fabulous and one of the easiest desserts I've ever made. The next night, I substituted strawberries for peaches, and I'm thinking I might have liked that one better. I'm not sure, they were both so good!!

Strawberry
Chocolate-Covered Oreo Cookie Cake - recipe also from Kraft. This wasn't bad. It was pretty good, but not the best cake I've ever had. It certainly wasn't as pretty as the picture. I doubt I make it ever again. I'm just picky about cakes. I feel like if you go to the trouble to make one, it should knock your socks off. This one didn't. It tasted fine and good, but not rockin' my world. Just sayin'!
See, not so cute, and I'm usually pretty skilled at making desserts look nice:
All in all, it was a great week! We found some new winners! And learned a few things :)
Did you make anything from my menu this week?

Yum! I always love seeing what y'all are having for supper each week :)
I had this delicious dessert at Mrs. Kelsey Hency's house and it was delicious! I love love your blog and delicious recipes!
Hi Kendall!
I stumbled across your blog and have loved your recipes! I have made a few of your recipes (maple chipotle pork chops--yum!)with much success! I just made the peach salsa and served it with Cooking Light's Pepper Jack, Peach and Chicken Quesadillas--so yummy! If you are looking for another way to use the peach salsa, this was a great and easy recipe that my husband and I both loved! The only change I made was to use chicken (marinated in bbq sauce) that my hubby grilled, instead of rotisserie chicken.
Happy cooking!
