For Christmas, I got the Weight Watcher’s cookbook called Comfort Classics 150 Favorite Home-Style dishes from Ben’s aunt. Thanks! Today, we were in Minneapolis and stopped at Whole Foods, my first time ever going to that store. They had all sorts of different kinds of cheeses. I ended up picking up some gruyere cheese. I just have always bought Swiss cheese if a recipe ever called for this kind of cheese. Gruyere cheese is so good, and expsenive! I think I paid 9.74?? It almost reminds me of Parmesan cheese in away. I didn’t pick up much when I was there. Got some fig jam, some star candies that remind me of dots, bulgar, dried cranberries, and wheat berry.
I was going to try making Ina Garten’s mac and cheese recipe but when browsing through the new cookbook I found this recipe. They’re so many other recipes I want to try in that cookbook and can’t wait to try them. There is one recipe for An Asian type dish that has Edamame, cucumbers, carrots, and a peanut sauce served over whole wheat noodles. Doesn’t that sound good????. I would give this recipe 3 out of 5 stars. It was rather greasy, and didn’t have very much flavor in it. Could have used some more spices.
