Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad (for your sandwich or sweet potato). | Yeah…imma eat that. Growing up, I had this friend who was the nicest guy… …unless you brought mayonnaise in his car. If we were on a road trip and your sandwich had mayonnaise on it…just get out, like now. And, honestly, I always hoped I would end up in his car on these trips because I’ve never been a big fan of the stuff either.
He had this passionate hatred for mayo. And could (and would) go on and on about how detestable it was. He was your normal big tough guy until mayonnaise was brought into the picture. He didn’t care how good that bacon on your BLT was, if it had mayo on it, it was about to be thrown out of the window. And chicken salad sandwiches…don’t even get him started. So with my mild mayo dislike, I’ve never been a huge chicken salad fan either. But for some reason it’s been sounding good lately. After I made it, I ended up wanting something to put it on.

This is the easiest flatbread recipe ever… a total go-to of mine for any meal or snack requiring dipping or wrapping. It involves just four ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen and just a few minutes to combine and roll out the dough. The longest part is letting the dough sit in the fridge for an hour, but I’ve gotten away with cutting that back to 20 or 30 minutes while I’m making the other components of my meal… Today the other “component” is this smoky sweet potato hummus, as my contribution to The Food Matters Project.

Let me back up a sec… Lately I’ve been seeing cauliflower crust pizza recipes pop up all over the place. The other day when a friend called asking if I’d tried cauliflower crust pizza and I said no, she insisted I do in no uncertain terms…she even threatened to not make her veggie-stuffed-and-smothered chicken breasts for me again until I try it. I agreed to make cauliflower crust, but as breadsticks instead of pizza. So I made the breadsticks. I took my first bite and had to stop and really enjoy what I was eating.

My blog is getting to the age where there are an awful lot of wonderful recipes buried deep in the annals of sub par photography and rushed recipe write-ups. Because we eat with our eyes, it is hard to imagine why anyone would attempt to make this recipe after viewing the first photo here. But they have. And everyone who has tried this meal loves it every bit as much as I do.
It is a shame how many times I’ve made this recipe since initially posting that recipe without taking another photograph. Admittedly, though, I find burritos to be tough things to stage for pictures. The Omnivore generally covers these burritos with cheddar cheese while they bake in the oven and eats them with a fork and knife. I skip the cheese and eat them sandwich style, at times double fisting these babies.

Hummus Recipes. Power Granola Recipe. Baked Zucchini Chips. Well I said last week that I'd probably be up to my old tricks by now. But much to my own surprise, I decided to try another 'healthy' recipe I've been thinking about - zucchini chips! If you ever look at the sidebar of my blog that lists 'popular recipes' you will see that Apple Chips are number one. They have been for a while now, but the funny part is that they are number one by a landslide. Mr. Vittles occasionally looks over my shoulder while I'm reviewing my blog's stats, and he is always so amused by the fact that the Apple Chips completely dwarf every other post.
This fact is absurdly evident by a bar graph that shows the top 10 posts' all-time number of views... basically one long bar, with a whole bunch of short ones beneath it. Up until this week (when Cheesy Bacon Oven Chips suddenly blew up on Pinterest) the Apple Chips had four times more views than the 2nd most popular post.
