#1 - Kris' Lentil Sausage Soup

We tried the first recipe on January 10th. I found the recipe for Kris' Lentil Sausage Soup on Allrecipes.

Rating:


I made a few changes, mostly in how it was cooked. Instead of cooking it on the stove for a couple hours, I put it in the crockpot to cook for several hours. I don't think this altered our rating though. After making the soup, I realized that I'm not a big fan of lentils. So the rating, at least for me, was more because I could have done with less lentils.

Julie and my mom liked it better than Matt and I did, so it wasn't a total bust. If you like lentils, then I recommend the recipe.

2009 Goals

I received a new cookbook for Christmas and became inspired after looking through the recipes. I set a goal for our family for 2009: I wanted to try 50 new recipes from this cookbook in one year. I then revised my goal to 50 new recipes period from any source since I so often find myself looking for something specific on Allrecipes.

Trying 50 recipes shouldn't be that hard. That is less than one a week although I think I'm already falling behind :-) Matt and I decided on a 5 star rating system. I'm sure there will be some recipes that we have differing opinions on, so I will try to be fair and report both ratings.

I hope you try some of the recipes that I highlight here, and if you do, let me know what you think.

Bon Appetit!
