Try a recipe day

[sweetpumkinpye]

After the success of Annie's read in day I thought we might set aside a day to try a recipe that we have been wanting to give a go.

I thought that Sunday 28th June might be a good day.

After we have tried the recipe, we can post on here what we tried, how it went and if we would use it again.

It might be a great way of coming up with new ideas for Christmas(or any time) brunches, lunches or snacks.

I am thinking of trying Pioneer Woman's Baked French Toast.
I would like to serve it for Christmas morning breakfast but am not sure if
A) we would all like it and
B) how much time it will take to bake.

In trying it out before Christmas it means I will add t to the menu if it is great or come up with another idea if it does not hit the spot.

Hmm, sounds like a great idea! I won't be here that weekend but will do it the weekend before so I can get it in before our vacation! I'll have to search for a recipe I've been wanting to try.

I might not be able to do it the 28th either (moving dd) but I'd like to try it during that week when I'll be on vacation. I need to find a recipe now

How ironic. I was looking through a recipe book this morning that I have recipes marked in I want to try. I also have a three ring binder with recipes. Now, I'll get it out and look through it, too. Maybe I'll try a whole new meal. I know some are recipes I want to try for Christmas breakfast, like Katrina. I want to do this once a week while I'm off this summer.

I'm in!

I have a new cookbook with a recipe for chicken enchiladas.

I'm not a big enchilada fan but for some reason I keep looking at that recipe!

I, too, will have to pick another day as the 28th is the day after my dad's 80th birthday party. We are having like 100 people attending! Yowza!

Love trying new recipes. Will have to mark it in the calendar and put up a very big NOTE for me. I tend to think of three or four dinners before remembering I have something else defrosting in the refrig. lol

I am making a pasta salad tomorrow from here:

i also just found a taco salad recipe that will be great for supper in the summer. Might try that too

What a great idea. I will put it on my calendar and see if I can 'play' too!

I've made a baked French toast that DH and I really liked. A friend makes regular French toast with some amaretto in it. I'd like to try that in a baked version. He serves it with syrup and sliced almonds on top.

I have been searching recipes too. Since I want to plan my special holiday meals this month, this is very timely.

I am always in for trying a new recipe! A few I have seen too that I thought I would give a try at.

 

[teachermomof2]

Just saw this thread and tried a new recip tonight. It was Parmesan crusted chicken with cheese and bacon....not too bad.

I make a French toast bake and it is always well received.

 

[halimer]

I will try it too, though not on the proper weekend as I will be away. Maybe next week.

Yum!

 

[Doodlebug]

I am in. I need to try some doughnut recipes. That is one of our fair entries this year. Marking it on my calendar. This will get me going on it for sure. Otherwise I might have just waited until the last minute and then beat myself up for waiting!!

 

[jollykelly]

I am in!!!! What a great idea Katrina. I am going to look for a recipe for some kind of french toast bake thing that I can prepare ahead of time and throw in the oven early Christmas morning. How nice to have the whole house smelling like warm cinnamon when Dd and Dh wake up.

Our Try a new recipe day is scheduled for this coming Sunday. I am doing the groceries tomorrow so must make sure that I have everything I need for my Baked French Toast.

The weather forecast is for cold weather so I might try the taco salad another time.

 

[tanya]

Im in. I have been wanting to try breakfast casserole for a while. This is not something that DS would like. I found a recipe the other day for a serving for just 1 person. I will give that a go.

 

[ChristmasPir8]

I an working all next weekend so it's not a great day for me to do it but today I made banana pudding cake (it's cooling now) and maybe in my day off Wed I'll try something new.

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

Looks like we will have lots of new recipes to try.
I will post the recipe and review here once I have tried it.

I tried my recipe for the french toast bake. Something went wrong, terribly wrong!! It was so soggy on the bottom. I am so happy I tried it ahead of time. I will have to find a new recipe to try. Thanks for the day and motivation Katrina!
