Hey everyone! I'm back with another "What We Ate" post, to share the new recipes that I tried out last week. Two weeks into the year, and I'm still on track with my challenge to myself to work at least 2-3 new recipes into our meals each week. 

Honey Drizzled Pistachio & Avocado Bagel Toast |  Gringalicious

Thoughts: This is a very simple recipe, but I'm all for simple meal ideas. I've had my eye on this one for myself, and tried it out last week for a simple lunch one afternoon. I only had bagel thins on hand, but they worked perfectly. And while mine didn't look nearly as pretty as the ones above, they were super yummy. It was so good, that I ended up making it three times in the last week. 

One-Pot Lasagna Soup | Carlsbad Cravings

Thoughts: I mentioned the idea of "lasagna soup" several times to the family, and they weren't big on the idea. I think it was the word "soup", as we're not really soup people around here. But I knew this would be a heartier "soup", so I went ahead with it, despite their initial reaction. I love a one-pot meal, and this one was super easy to make. Just like the blog post said, it did have a lot of ingredients, but they all just got dumped in one-by-one, so it wasn't much work at all. I didn't end up adding the last couple of cups of chicken broth that it called for at the end, because I figured that would just make it more soupy, and I decided it was a good thickness as it was. One thing I would do differently if/when I make this again, would be to break up the lasagna noodles into smaller pieces. I was worried I was making them too small, and turns out, they were a little too big. The family ended up liking it after all, and it was full of flavor and totally like eating lasagna. Personally, I'd rather eat lasagna soup than real lasagna 😉

Garlic Parmesan Pull-Apart Rolls | Crunchy Creamy Sweet

Thoughts: I decided to try these out to go along with the lasagna soup. They're made using refrigerated biscuits, and were so simple to make. I like that the edges got a little crispy in the muffin tin, and how they pull apart into pieces for easy eating. And they mopped up the sauce in the lasagna soup perfectly!

I hate to take a break from this challenge to myself when I'm only two weeks into the year. Lol. But I will be headed out of town for four days later this week, and won't be back until late Monday night. So if I do end up posting next week, it will be mid-week. Otherwise, I'll get back to this new feature the following week. I'll be back tomorrow with a new layout share, for anyone missing my scrapbooking projects 😉
