Ham Cannelloni

Last but not least in todays updates, a recipe review. I actually cooked for my brothers family the day before Easter. I made Rachael Rays Ham Cannelloni dish from her website. I figured it had ham so it was Easter related : ) I wish I had doubled it because when you have 7 people eating it just didnt make enough, and I totally made more cannelloni than the recipe said it would make. I think I used about 10-12 egg roll wrappers, not the 8 the ingredients list suggested. It was very easy to make. I guess it gets pluses for that. After baking it seemed a bit greasy and its a big white mess. It made me feel so unhealthy! I think you could easily substitute some other things into the filling. I dont know if I'll ever make it again. Only if maybe my DH said he wanted it, but I doubt it! Here is the recipe link http://tinyurl.com/358q9c

San J sauces

So I bought some sauces I think at Whole Foods recently. They were by San J. Here is their website link http://www.san-j.com/default.asp The Szechuan is not joking when it says Hot and Spicy. I thought my taste buds were burned for life! We stir fried some pork, snap peas, broccoli and has it over rice. It was really spicy and I had Anthony add honey to it before we ate it. We like spicy but we are going to have to possibly tone down this sauce somehow. I'm open to ideas Then we also had the Sweet and Tangy sauce which I dipped my egg rolls in and really enjoyed.

food product reviews

I love Minute Maid's pomegranate lemonade. yum yum yum. Its pink so it's fun to drink :) Also for lunch today Burrito Grande with salsa rojo. SO SO good. Yesterday I had the worst frozen meal ever that I threw it away and just skipped eating for lunch. Burrito Grande is super good! To go with my burrito (I know I'm crazy unhealthy today, it's my spring break though) I had two of these, but they were chicken not steak! Also super tasty.

Creamy Chicken with Artichokes

OMG sooooo good. I wish I had made some pasta or even steamed the broccoli I bought to go with this. I woke up with a horrible cold on Saturday and I still have it. Anyway, I was motivated enough to make dinner so we hit the grocery store and we had to hit Kensington Pizza and Kabob in order to get white wine, liquor store was closed.

We added a little cheese to the top :) Ingredients 8 ounces kielbasa, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced 2 onions, finely chopped 1 tablespoon butter One 14.5-ounce can chicken broth 1 large baking potato (about 12 ounces), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 cup half-and-half One 1-pound bag frozen corn, thawed Salt and pepper Chopped fresh dill, for garnish 1.
