Menu Plan Monday (February 7, 2011)

Last week I tried a couple new recipes and they were all huge hits! I have wanted to make homemade French onion soup for a really long time, so I figured I'd try it. This is seriously amazing stuff! It is unbelievably flavourful. The only thing I would do differently next time is omit the toasted bread and cheese on top and just serve it on the side. I know that is a no-no with French Onion soup, but I just prefer it that way. I definitely will be making that again and have no need to try another French onion soup recipe because I'm convinced this one can't be topped. I tried a new Alfredo sauce this week, too, and this one will now be my go-to recipe for Alfredo sauce. So creamy and the perfect texture for us! I made only slight adjustments to the recipe and will post my adjusted recipe in the future. For a new dessert, I tried Heavenly Homemaker's brownies, and they were SO fudgey and good! I will be making them again as they were definitely some of the best brownies I have had. If you like REALLY fudgey brownies, then this is a recipe you should try. I used white sugar instead of rapadura, regular chocolate chips, and white flour instead of whole wheat, although next time I'm going to try sneaking in some whole wheat.
