Lentil Soup and Curry, lentils and rice.

On Tuesday (Feb. 19) we made Lentil soup. The batch we made turned out more of a paste then a soup because we forgot to put a lid on the pot and we didn't use enough water. When we tried it, it tasted kind of bland so i added salt to mine.
On Thursday (Feb. 21) we made curry, lentils and rice. It turned out really good, it looked good, it tasted good, and it smelled wonderful.
I would make both of these recipes again, except i would make sure not to evaporate all of the water out of the soup.

vanilla biscotti and hazelnut biscotti.

For last week we made a vanilla biscotti and a hazelnut biscotti. their were about the same to make meaning that they were both very easy. I liked the hazelnut one better i guess because i love hazelnuts. They both looked and smelled very good. 

This is a picture of the Vanilla Biscotti. I didn't have the time to take a picture of the hazelnut one to compare so this will have to do.

Tomato soup and grilled cheese

On Tuesday and Wednesday we made grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. the only differences were on Tuesday we made the tomato soup with Campbell's tomato soup and made the grilled cheese sandwiches with regular whole wheat bread and processed cheese melts. And on Wednesday we made homemade tomato soup with canned whole tomatoes, butter, onions, vegetarian chicken broth, garlic, dried Bay leaves, salt and pepper, and light cream,and the we pureed it and we made grilled cheese sandwiches with whole wheat sour dough bread, jalapenos, fresh basil, real cheddar cheese, tomato (but not on my sandwich), and margarine. I was in a group with Sabrina Fedosenko and Taylor Massey on both days.
I liked the things we made on Wednesday better, it looked better, but, what we made on Tuesday was more convenient. I don't like tomato soup but the homemade tomato soup we made on Wednesday i actually enjoyed and had a second bowl and the homemade grilled cheese sandwiches tasted better and looked better.
over all, in my opinion the homemade food was better.
