My Mission Yo

I had a mission, once upon a time...It was to attempt all of Pioneer Woman's recipes. I can't. I don't know how she cooks so much. She may be Superwoman?

Whatever I do cook and share with you all that is an original Pioneer Woman recipe I will rate on a scale of 1-5 for "tastiness" and 1-5 for difficulty.

Taste:1-Being "Yuck" & 5- Being "oh my I think I'm in Heaven this is so good"

Difficulty: 1-Being "Luke could cook this." & 5-Being "Uh, may swear off cooking altogether because this was so hard."

Anything else that I cook and share, I will just give a basic review for. I have two small children who I am with ALL DAY LONG, so my reviews are realistic and useful.

Shrimp Pasta in a Foil Package

Tonight I made Shrimp Pasta in a Foil Package.  Trust me, it looked just like the picture.  I actually took one, then couldn't find my "hookup thing" for my camera, so I'm just waving the white flag and posting without a picture.

Really, I looked a long time.  A Long TIME!

So, the food...It was really good.  Not exactly your 40 degree weather type of meal but it would be great during the summer with a good glass of Chardonnay.  I used whole grain pasta for lots of fiber.  We don't shy away from fiber in this house.  Other than that one change, I didn't change anything but the portion.  I cut the entire recipe in half.  PW must be cooking for an army.  Or she only cooks every other day?  Maybe they love leftovers?  Who knows.

I always think the best things to go with a pasta dish is a Caesar salad and garlic bread.  That's exactly what we had and this meal really was good.  Although, I'm not sure I'll come across a recipe of hers that isn't.

I'm not going to re-post (is that's a word) any recipes because hers have pictures (step-by-step) and go into much better detail than I ever could.  I will rate them on a scale of 1-5 or "tastiness" (another made up word I think) and 1-5 for difficulty.

Taste:1-Being "Yuck" &  5- Being "oh my I think I'm in Heaven this is so good" 

Difficulty: 1-Being "Luke could cook this." &  5-Being "Uh, may swear off cooking altogether because this was so hard."

Taste- 3.5
Difficulty- 1

Look what my husband found...my camera hookup thingy.  This was the pic I took before I put it in the oven!
