That's 2 recipes from this book so far. Tonight's is a definite no-keeper and last night's was alright but not great so will likely not bother to make it again, sigh. I had high hopes for this cookbook but not looking good so far :(
Tried another new recipe from the "Oh She Glows Every Day" cookbook tonight. Unfortunately it wasn't very good. It was a Sun-dried Tomato Pasta Recipe. There was a sauce made in the blender with soaked cashews, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, lemon juice, salt, olive oil, and water. Not my favorite sauce an it was very thick, I even added a little more water but still really thick. I also found it a very strong, almost overpowering, flavor. I used my rice pasta which I use for most pasta dishes now. The rice pasta was mixed with spinach, more sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt, crushed red pepper, and lemon zest. I topped mine with fresh tomatoes. I didn't even eat all of mine and the portions were not very big. Thankfully, I didn't mix all the sauce with the pasta as the cookbook suggests. The book says that the sauce doesn't hold up well when mixed together and left. So I may eat the pasta tomorrow with some olive oil instead of the cashew sauce.
