Weekly Recipes #62 - Jill

Let's try some different stuff.  Love the tried and true, but I wanted some unusual recipes for this week.  Here ya go:

Fancy breakfast on the grill :) (and we've had such incredible peaches this year!)
STUFFED BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST

Well this looks fun.  Everyone loves lasagna, but this is a fun new look...  Could do veggie-meat or vegetables instead of hamburger meat on this I bet.
LASAGNA ROLL-UPS

Green soup!! So healthy, but looks oh so tasty.  We will use our dehydrated mushrooms from Costco, but I'm sure you could substitute for any other topping.

Love Wins - Rob Bell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fantastic book! Everything he wrote made sense and made me think. Very different point of view from my upbringing, but inspirational.

Anne of Green Gables - Mary Maud Montgomery

Anne of Green Gables  (Anne of Green Gables, #1)Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Funny audiobook from audiobooks app. Love the story and writing but what stood out was the reader, or should I say readers. There were at least 7 during the 38 chapters. Started with a young female who read really fast with no inflection. Moved on to British, Caribbean, southern black women and an Irish man. The icing on the cake was the incredibly French woman who wrapped up the book. Had to listen very hard. Amusing.....

Storm Front - Jim Butcher (audio)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Harry Potter meets Twilight meets mystery novel for adults. The series follows Harry Dresden, wizard consultant for the local police force. Obviously, supernatural crimes occur. Worth reading but not great literature.
