I finally completed all three recipes for this week. I ended up making them each on a different night due to various reasons but they would have made a really good meal together. I made the Italian Chicken and Vegetable Skewers first. I used the Italian Dressing in the book and it had a really good flavor – good for both a marinade and a salad dressing. I followed the Skewer recipe as directed except I used a green bell pepper instead of the yellow, red, or orange. I ended up with more vegetables than chicken so I just made some all veggie skewers as well. I ended up cooking the skewers under the oven broiler and that worked out well. It all tasted really good. I have never marinated the vegetables for Skewers before but I really liked them this way. The next night I made the Roasted Garlic-Rosemary Potatoes. I followed the recipe as directed with the exception of only using a tsp of dried Rosemary after reading Nika’s review and I thought it was just right. I had to bake the potatoes for longer than the recipe called for. I really liked this recipe as well. Tonight my mangoes were finally ripe enough to make the Mango-Pineapple Sorbet and it was absolutely delicious! If any of you are looking for a really fun little ice cream maker Costo has a Cuisinart one on sale in their current coupon book. It makes 1.5 quarts and does a terrific job. After reading Nika’s review I only added 1/4 cup of sugar instead of 3/4 cup and it still tasted plenty sweet. My mangoes could have been just a touch riper but the sorbet was excellent. I would make all three recipes again.
