Recipes of the week:

We had the Smokin' Chicken Burgers last week. I didn't mind them, though Monkey and T were not impressed. So I tossed the recipe.

I never got around to the Wild Rice Pilaf with Mushrooms and Pecans because we ended up going to dinner with T's parents Saturday night. I'll make it this week instead - and hopefully the recipe will be up on Every Day with Rachael Ray by the time I share a review.

I also tried Sausage, Potato and Cheese Waffles from the current Every Day with Rachael Ray issue (page 25 if you're looking for it - it's not up on the website yet either). Monkey wasn't crazy about it and T didn't like it at all. Again, I didn't mind it. But I won't be making a big batch of waffles from scratch for myself, so I'm not saving this one either.

First up this week are BBQ Barley-Chicken Burgers from Fresh Magazine. Why not try a different chicken burger since last week was such a bust, right?

We'll also be trying another Every Day with Rachael Ray sampling - Chicken Pot Pizza. T pulled this out quite some time ago and I figured it was time to finally try it. Personally, I'm not a fan of pot pie, but I try to keep an open mind. How else would we find new and exciting meals?

That's all for this week.

Enjoy your kitchens!
