October Reviews

Well we've had a chance to hear some comments about October's dinners from our guests and as expected, the Apple Crisp, Shrimp and Sausage Jambalaya and the Herb Crusted Flank Steak are runaway faves. Other favorites are the Chicken Enchiladas and the Pulled BBQ Pork with French Rolls. The Chicken Enchiladas are tangy, creamy and cheesy concoctions guaranteed to put a smile on your kid's faces. They combine diced white chicken meat, sour cream and salsa among other ingredients, wrapped in large flour tortillas. We would find it hard to believe anyone would turn their noses up at these and predict you'll hit Dream Dinners again for a refill. The Pulled BBQ Pork sandwiches are wonderful. A mild barbecue sauce is combined with mustard for a bite that won't bite back. These are meaty, full sandwiches and all you need on the side is the ubiquitous cole slaw. If you want another filling option, try the Mexican Meatballs. We just had these the other night, and I had to stop myself from getting more. I used the meatballs as filling in tortillas and simply topped them with salsa and loved it. Now you can go the Mexican dinner route with rice and beans, but we liked them with a simple green salad with red onion and my own vinaigrette. We also suggest guacamole as a topper and I had my mouth all set for this addition, but when I cut into the avocados I found them filled with dark spots, although I'd bought them rock hard and waited for them to soften. Don't you hate that and at the cost of avocados these days? Those suckers are going back to the market I bought them from. If you want something with an Asian flare, try the Chicken with Honey, Garlic and Orange. I like this with simple Jasmine rice and broccoli. The chicken breasts are tender and slightly sweet with a hint of orange. Just plain tasty. We'll be trying the Peanut Crusted Fish Filets and the Pork Chops with Sweet Ginger and Apples next. Write a post of your own and let us know how you are enjoying your dinners.
