Cataloging New Recipes

I tried some new recipes lately and while I have them pinned, I tend to forget them or make notes about whether or not I liked them so... Crock Pot Chicken Cacciatore- http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/06/crock-pot-chicken-cacciatore.html Good-i used boneless skinless chicken breasts. I would have enjoyed some mushrooms in it, but all in all, easy & delicious. Honey Garlic Pork Chops- http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=59689 Pretty good even though I didnt have honey so. Yeah I will be trying these again Orzo with Parmesan and Basil (made this with the pork chops)http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/orzo-with-parmesan-and-basil-2/ Maybe I cooked the cheese for too long or had too much, it was very cheesy and thus made the noodles stick together. I'll try it again b/c I did enjoy the taste. Roasted Tomato Soup- http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2011/09/roasted-tomato-soup-with-broiled-cheddar/ I have way too many tomatoes from the garden and I just dont have the time to can them. I needed something to make that was a little hands off but used many tomatoes. I wish I had doubled this recipe as it really made about 4 servings. Also I would have omitted the red pepper. It was very very spicy and I would prefer basil to the spiciness.
