Last Week Review:

• The Fajitas were really good.  Probably the best I've made.  Will make again sometime.
• Beef & Cheddar fold over was ok.  I had trouble with the dough being to sticky.  I call it sloppy joes pizza. 
• Omelets were good.  I omitted the bacon.
• Pumpkin Gnocchi was really excited about but my squash was molding so I went with the back up of frozen pizza with a spinach salad.  Maybe in the future.
• Asian Salad.  I haven't actually made it yet but I think I've made it before and it was good.

REVIEW OF LAST WEEK:

Hamburgers were pretty good.  It was raining so I cooked them on the indoor grill.  4yr old ate 1 1/2 burgers. 4 stars
Oven Fries were also good but I decreased the amount of seasonings by a lot.  I cooked them on the pizza stone and they were crispy.  They only needed to be cooked 30 minutes total.  I had pretty small potatoes. 4 stars

The Kabobs I've made before.  It was raining/snowing today so I skipped the skewers and cooked them in a skillet instead.
