Cooking/Birthday

February has brought on a lot of baking and cooking so far. I have printed off a few recipes at work and love to try as many as I can. Only having myself to cook for is a little hard with big recipes, so I am thankful I have scott to help taste and take leftovers!
So far I have made a few good ones and one horrible recipe.
Good:
Chicken cor don bleu casserole (needed a little more flavor going to try a few extra ingrediants next time)
Baked pizza casserole(pretty much spaghetti in a casserole dish topped with pepporni)
Breakfast muffins, eggs and what every you want cooked in muffin tins( I added hot sauce sausage mushrooms onions and broccli to mine/scotts) they are so good to heat in microwave and have an on the go breakfast. Scott puts them on a muffin to eat in the car
Tuna Noodle casserole(made for scott for valentines day, turned out great! easy to freeze and reheat)
Spaghetti with meat vodka sauce(I am not a fan of tomatoes so I enjoy vodka sauce on my angel hair with seasoned ground beef)
Green bean, hash brown casserole(easy slow cooker recipe turned out pretty good, dont know that I would make it again)
Cookies(for valentines day)
Quinoa(bought it at a health food store, made a huge batch split it with my mom, added a huge bag of assorted frozen veggies, everyone seemed to like it)
Next on my list is a slow cooker enchilada recipe...
Not good:
Honey Mustard slow cooker chicken(It has dijon and honey, how can that be bad? house smelled so bad the whole night when I took chicken out it was a little dry and taste exactly like dijon mustard covered chicken...) Never make it again

I got a cast iron skillet and a dutch oven this month as well which has made my recipes fun to cook and try something new..

As my birthday month is flying by I have started to think of ideas of what to do. I know i can do the typical go out to the bars with my friends, but living in Canton now that is just another weekend night. Scott suggested a comedy club or something different. Jeanne was bringing up wine tasting. I looked into comedy and think we will go to the baltimore comedy club and then out to a nice dinner at RA sushi. I am not a fan of sushi at all, but their dumplings and tempora shrimp are awesome. Scott also mentioned taking me to Salt in Baltimore for dinner Friday, menu looks different then what I would normally go for, but I am turning 25 so I think  i should try something new.

Lots to look forward to in the upcoming weeks :)
