What should I cook? YOU DECIDE!

Some days you just want someone to tell you what to cook and then you can be as creative as you want with the dish instead of having to do all of the thinking yourself.  As I was perusing the internet thinking of inspiration for my blog and what I wanted to pour my time into this evening I ended up looking at a lot of delicious recipes.  It brought a brilliant idea to mind.  What if I posted a couple ideas for the main dish and the dessert of a meal and I could have my wonderful readers vote and I will cook that dish within a week and post my version of the recipe with my step by step photo recipe blog.  I am really excited about this!  I hope that I can get some of my readers to actually comment and vote so that this can be very interactive and fun!  I look forward to the results and would love to this at least once a month or more.  If you have any recipe suggestions that I don't post, please feel free to share them with me and if plausible they can be featured on the next What should I cook recipe vote, or just as a regular meal that I prepare and recipe share with you!  Thank you for your support and I am giddy with excitement about the outcome of this!

Here are 4 of my top picks for the Main DISHES:

Option A: Burgundy Pork Tenderloin

This is a delicious pork tenderloin in a hearty red wine based sauce

 
The original recipe
Burgundy-Pork-Tenderloin











Option B: Creamy Lemon-Pepper Orzo with Grilled Chicken

I absolutely love orzo, and for some reason it always seems to go amazingly well with lemon.  Add the grilled chicken on top and you can't go wrong

The original recipe:

creamy-lemon-pepper-orzo-with-grilled-chicken

Option C:  Apple-Honey Drumsticks

 I love trying new flavors on chicken and don't like to get in the BBQ rut.  This looks like a nice Asian flair to a great drumstick.

The original recipe:

Option D:  Slow Cooker Chicken Chili

I don't use my slow cooker nearly as much as I should, and am always looking for great new recipe inspiration.  I love messing with Chili and this looks like a great recipe to try.

Now we move on to the DESSERTS!!!

Option 1: Apple Raspberry Crumble with Oat Walnut Topping

It always makes you feel great when you can make dessert and also feel like you are getting some great vitamins into your body at the same time.  Apple and raspberry are two of my favorite flavors to cook with and these seem like they would make a great combination in this dessert.
