Carrot Slaw with Yogurt Dressing pg232


4 Toasts
Easy to make and really fresh. Try using carrots if they are not eaten as a snack already.
Did I mention that Spoon ate Spatula's piece of cheesecake?

Roasted Chicken & Vegetables pg208


5 Toasts
Why do my grocery stores not have paper bags for the mushrooms? Make sure you buy the skin on chicken for this dish. This is a really quick and hearty dinner for fall. Keep the acorn squash slices thin.
I'm starting the count down to the end of this blog. What motivation I know we can finish this book, but we may have a big bakeoff at then end because Spatula and I never make sweets and there are numerous deserts in this book.

Apple, Endive & Grape Salad pg 190


1 Toast
Granted that I didn't add the endive this salad tasted so bad that Spatula tried to pretend it wasn't on the table when we ate dinner. My suggestion, small portions reduce the amount of salad dressing to just a coating.

Apple Crumble - Creative Cooking Diversion from Book




After the Future Bride and I picked these apples we just knew we had to make a crumble. The apple sticky buns never happened because we were too busy with the fresh corn on the cob and cheese burgers for dinner that night.
