Helllooooo!
How was everyone's Halloween? Ours was busy! We got close to 500 trick or treaters! Insane! In any case, on to the food! I didn't get any good pictures of these recipes because the lighting in our house sucks. You'll have to use your imagination! Let's start with the chicken:
This recipe is pinned here. Here are our substitutions/changes:
1) We used chicken thighs instead of breasts
2) We added about 1 tsp of dijon mustard to the topping mix.
3)We used Hellmen's half the fat olive oil mayo
Taste: B. Dawson liked this one more than I did. He devoured his. I just thought it was "ok". I'd eat it again, but it wasn't my favourite.
Cost: A-. Not expensive fora main dish at all. Most of this stuff you probably have in your kitchen already.
Nutrition: B. Not bad. Not great, but not bad either. The mayo is calorie-dense but heart healthy and the chicken has good lean protein.
Simplicity: A+. Super easy! No complaints here.
Overall: B.
Now for the cauliflower! This one is pinned here and is coincidentally from the same blog as the risotto I made earlier this week. So far the author is 2 for 2, because this was actually even more awesome than the risotto! Wee!
No subs or additions made to this one.
Taste: A+. If there was anything above A+, I'd give this recipe that! We loved it! This one is definitely going to find itself in heavy rotation at our house!
Cost: A. This one is cheapy cheapy.
Nutrition: A. This is a super tasty way to get your veggies in! We liked this so much we ate an entire head of cauliflower between the two of us. I generally don't even like cauliflower!
Simplicity: A+. Doesn't get much easier than this, internet!
Overall: A+
Only one more day left in the challenge! Exciting!
