In this post, I am going to share a variety of recipes with you that I have tried in the last couple of weeks. I am just going to post the links for where I found the recipes instead of retyping it all. I will let you know what my impressions were and any changes I made as well as share pictures I have.
Stuffed Pepper Soup
Recipe can be found here: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/stuffed-pepper-soup
I liked this soup, but unless you are cooking for a large group or wanting to make extra to freeze, you will want to only make half of this soup because it makes A LOT of soup!! It's yummy served with biscuits :)
Broccoli Cheese Potato Soup and Bread Bowls
Instead of chocolates or cookies, I decided to make soup and bread bowls for lunch for the staff at the school where I am interning on Valentine's Day.

Bread Bowl recipe can be found here: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/09/easy-homemade-whole-wheat-bread-bowls-for-soup-and-things/
The soup was good, but it needed more spices for flavor. I also wish it would have turned out a little bit thicker. I used 2% milk, but I probably should have used cream or maybe even used some Velveeta.
I have to say I was impressed with myself and how the break bowls turned out! ;) I have never made homemade bread like this before, but it was fairly easy. Make sure you have time though, because it's not a quick process.
Avocado Hummus
I wanted to try something new for lunch this week, so I picked a recipe I had pinned and I am so glad that I did!

I doubled the recipe so that it would last a whole week. I got one can of white kidney beans and one of chick peas. I didn't have cayenne pepper, so I added in my own variety of spices including garlic powder, turmeric, seasoning salt (instead of sea salt), cumin, and chili powder. I think I only put about 1/4 of a teaspoon of each in. I think it turned out rather yummy! It tasted even better the day after I made it because the spices had time to fuse together. I am enjoying my hummus with pretzel chips, celery, and carrots.
Taco Pie
We had this one for dinner tonight. Another fun way to enjoy tacos and I love tacos!
I never would have thought about using potato flakes as the crust!
I think it turned out to be very yummy!

I didn't take a picture of mine, because it was as pretty as hers, but it was yummy!
