Five new recipes to be tried this week--

This week I will be making some new recipes and one old favorite. It seems like I get stuck in a rut of preparing the same few recipes over and over again while I pin more and more recipes to my Pinterest boards. Flavor is the key so I'm going to test some new recipes and share with you the verdict on each.

Five recipes to be tried this week:

Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies
Provençal Stuffed Tomatoes
Pumpkin Coffee Cake
Mexican Lasagna
Sloppy Joes

Saturday I had to find a recipe for cookies to bake for a friend. I wanted to try Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies, but with the recipe I had the cookies never set.   I looked and found a recipe on Pinterest, and with a little bit of of fear, I tried it. YEAH!  It worked. I've missed these cookies. They will be a hit and a keeper!

Today a side dish was needed so I attempted Provençal Stuffed Tomatoes. My husband loves baked tomatoes so with high hopes I prepared these to accompany honey glazed salmon. However, there was a strong lingering flavor that was predominate that was not good. Not for sure if it was the recipe or the flavored bread crumbs I used, but whatever the cause, this one was voted down.

Tomorrow evening a Mexican Lasagna will be on the menu. I love Mexican dishes so can't wait to try it. Stay tuned to hear if this dish is filled with yummy flavor and gets added to the "saved" file.
