So today I tested 4 recipes for my menu and let me just say I'm glad I get to eat for free. The Chicken Pot Pie turned out so so at first. The crust was to fluffy. It soaked up all the gravy. After a few adjustments to the crust, #2 went into the oven. Oh My Word!! YUM! Next was my Chicken Enchiladas with sour cream sauce. I personally think the sauce needs more garlic, but over all I'm pretty happy with it. The Mac N Cheese came out as it should, perfect. And finally was the disaster of all disasters, the meat loaf. I cooked one last night for dinner and it took way to long. 1 hour and 45 minutes to be exact. How is that for convenience food. Not so much. So today I tried another path. Use less meat and smaller loaf pans, maybe that will make cooking time shorter. 2 pounds of meat later Im left with dry, tough tasteless meat. I think I'll skip meat loaf for now and just move on. Maybe I'll attempt it again after we launch.
The menu is looking good. I'll post that here as soon as I get them finished.
4 days until Grand Opening!
