Rutter Kitchen- Menu # 13






 
We got together Monday night to cook.  I precooked the ground beef so it would go quicker that night.  When Dana got there she started in on the Baked Apple Pie Egg Rolls.  She followed the recipe using granny smith apples.  It was pretty simple to do.  She had a couple extra egg rolls, so she just used cinnamon sugar on them and rolled them up and baked them also.  Then she started in on the Korean Beef and Rice.  Since I had already precooked the beef, she put it in the skillet and just went on from there.  Very simple! We didn't do the red pepper flakes as we had little ones trying the meal.  When Ashley got there she started in on the Ambrosia Fruit Salad.  Such a nice fruit salad.  We followed the recipe, but didn't add the marshmallows and coconut.  We let people add those when we were ready to eat as not everyone in our family likes them.  Now for our review :)  The Beef and Rice actually tasted pretty good.  It was a different kind of dish.  We served it with rice and the diced green onions as suggested.  We added some more soy sauce and also some hot sauce when we ate it and it tasted alright.  I think it would be better with thin sliced beef.  Maybe this is a play on dirty rice.  We liked the fruit salad.  If I fix it again, I will probably skip the yogurt and just use the juices from the cans.  Other than that, it was really good.  The little apple pie rolls were good and kind of fun to make.  I think that I still prefer the regular pie crust, but I think these would be fun to make for a change or with your family.  It was a fun menu to try :)
