Recipe of the Week

I was wondering if anyone had a good idea for the Bimonthly Recipe test. I thought Sunday would be a good time to post, so that we can plan it into our menu and grocery list for this week or next. If we like this idea enough, maybe we can move to weekly recipe tests, and if you can do it fine, if not, we'll catch you next time? What do you ladies think? In my opinion, the recipe can be anything--dessert, main dish, or side. For some of us who don't like to or have time to cook desserts as often, perhaps when we offer a dessert recipe, we can also offer a main or side dish recipe. I propose the Mexican burgers, as they can be grilled and are summer friendly. You can just make one side (I would suggest if nothing else, the lime-jalapeno mayo--I think even Joel would enjoy it, and it's not spicy). What are you propositions for this first one, I'm game for anything!

I think the Mexican Burgers sound yummy for our first recipe. Posting the recipe on a Sunday works well for me: I usually try to plan meals for the upcoming week or two on Sunday afternoons. Is the idea that those of us who are going to try the recipe would have done so by the next posting? I think it will be fun to hear what people like/don't like and what, if any, changes to the recipe work well.

I want to try these burgers too. Should we all try to make them this week and then post our results, changes to the recipe, etc?

I think it's a good idea to try the burgers this week and post about impressions and changes. Posting the new recipes on Sundays works well for me too. So, be thinking about who wants to post the next recipe! I'm looking forward to hearing what you guys think about the burgers and to seeing what the recipe of the next week will be!

So, are we planning on making these burgers by this Sunday or the following Sunday? Also, should we have some sort of rotation for choosing recipes? I don't really care; I just think it might take me a while to choose a recipe--I might need a bit of lead time for my turn :)

Emily told me tonight that she has been visiting our site all the time, checking out and trying recipes! :) So I told her if she tries any of our "group" recipes, that she should leave comments about her results too! I'll probably be making these burgers this Thurs or Fri...

I think we should try to do these burgers sometime in the next two weeks, this week is preferable, but we can do them up through next week and post comments on them whenever. Even if we do this, we can still post weekly recipe ideas and comment on them in a two week period. Also, about order, I think that's a good idea so we can be looking ahead of time. Who wants to go next? After we establish our order, we can just continue that on a regular basis.??
