Update on the Five New Recipes...

Out of the five recipes I chose to try this past week, the last three:  Pumpkin Coffee Cake, Mexican Lasagna, and Sloppy Joes were "keepers".  

I have a neighbor who had surgery and I wanted to take something over to her to be of help  so I baked up a batch of the Pumpkin Coffee Cake and divided it into two separate baking dishes.  One for our neighbor and one for us.  Since I had not made it before, I thought I'd better try it myself in the event it was not as tasty as I had hoped.  Good news!  It was very tasty.

The Mexican Lasagna was quite scrumptious also.  With a husband who is a picky eater you never know how a new recipe is going to go over, but to my amazement he said this is really good, not too spicey.  Let's have it again.  Wow, you have no idea how unique and unexpected this answer was.

Then a couple of  nights later I tried the Sloppy Joe recipe.  Every now and again I like a good sloppy joe meal, but my other half is usually not so excited.  He did, however, eat the meal with NO faces:) and ate leftovers the next day.  This will be added to my files for future use.
