The Importance of Reading the Entire Recipe...

This week has been a little tight in the budget department.  So I decided to peruse the internet in search of an affordable menu item to make myself.  I came across this little recipe for Salmon Orzo Salad, which apart cutting my finger (thank God I bought the Pink Salmon right?), and determining that Three Cheese Italian Dressing doesn't exist (it really meant the three cheese ranch), this was pretty easy to make. Go ahead take a look.  Sounds light and delicious right?

And it was light and delicious...  And it continues to be light and delicious.  What I'm betting some of you didn't notice at the first read was the very last paragraph of the recipe says it serves 8.

Instead of a couple of healthy portions, I ended up making enough to feed the entire Brady Bunch Family.  After all when I think salad, I naturally think of feeding 8 people, and really the recipe was a conservative number since I easily got 10 servings from that meal.  Now really it was my own fault for not reading the recipe that deeply.  Most of the recipes I checked had a serving size of 4 so I assumed it would be the same.  And what's that saying about people who assume?

So, Saturday, I finally managed to put the last gallon into little zip-loc bowls to be rationed out for this week.  Ensuring that this light and delicious meal is about to become a long an arduous task, rather like eating my first cup of Jell-O (ugh I hate Jell-O).  And even though it really was easy to make, with the little diced bits of cheese making the dish rather decadent, I probably won't be making it again any time soon.
