Food Network Made, Sara and Matt Tested

There is a lack of entertaining things to do in Columbus. Unless you're local and this is all you know. Or you don't mind driving hours to your activity. That aside, I have been looking for fun activities for Matt and I to do. I didn't come up with much, but I did manage to come up with something, as little as it is.

Every month when my Food Network Magazine gets delivered, I read the whole thing in one sitting. I like it that much. Anyways, I have only recently just decided that once a week, I'm going to have Matt pick out a recipe from the magazine that he wants for dinner. It's not much, but hopefully he'll pick some recipes that will have ingredients that I've never used before, so I can branch out :) Last night was the first adventure!

He picked out Ham, Swiss and Apple Wraps. We both really enjoyed it, and it was easy and fast to make! Also very low calorie.

There are a few things I will do differently next time, though:

-Since I couldn't find any large whole wheat wraps in my local Kroger (fail), I wish I had diced the apples and onions. I think if you use the large wraps, though, the slices will do.

-Even though I don't like Swiss cheese, it worked well in this recipe. If you really don't like Swiss, or don't want to spend the extra money, try mozzarella. Stay away from a cheddar, though, I think that would be too much.

-While I loved the dressing, I thought it was rather sweet, especially with the apples, and would have preferred an extra tang or acidity. Next time I might try a honey mustard that's more mustard than honey, or at a little cider vinegar to the dressing.

Yum, yum, yum! I can't promise I will post every recipe we try, I'm going to try to! Because I apparently have nothing else to blog about except food. Oh well. Let me know if you make any of these recipes and what you think of them!
