One of my favorite guilty pleasures is Chinese take-out.

Sweet and Sour Chicken

I basically love it all…sesame chicken, beef and broccoli, spring rolls, egg rolls, fried rice, and any kind of noodles. But we all know how much fat, salt, and sugar comes along with most Chinese take-out, not to mention MSG, and my body always confirms this: every time I eat it, I feel like I’m in serious need of a nap afterwards. It’s just not worth it. But I’m all about making my favorite Chinese take dishes at home. Not only is the end result much healthier because you get to control how much fat, sugar, and salt goes into the dish, but you can customize it to suit your own tastes. When I saw Sweet and Sour Chicken on the May cover of Cooking Light magazine, I immediately started doing a mental check to see what I’d need to pick up from the grocery store because I couldn’t wait to make it. The results: This is a delicious, family-friendly meal that everyone enjoyed. Did this recipe deserve the cover spotlight? Definitely! Sweet y Salado: Sudado de Pollo Colombiano.

Las personas que ya viven en Colombia o han vivido en Colombia saben muy bien que cualquier tipo de sudado es bienvenido a cualquier hora y en cualquier lugar.

Sweet y Salado: Sudado de Pollo Colombiano

Los sudados son los platos que más comemos los colombianos especialmente a la hora del almuerzo y siempre los acompañamos con arroz blanco y aguacate. De vez en cuando también se sirve con una ensaladita como para no sentirnos mal por la cantidad de papa y yuca que contiene. Nuevamente tengo que ser sincera con ustedes y admitir que los sudados nunca han sido mis platos favoritos, aún más si son hechos con pollo o gallina. La verdad es que no sé si es porque de niña los comíamos casi todos los días al almuerzo o si de pronto es porque el sabor del pollo cocinado nunca me ha llamado la atención, no sé cuál será la vaina. El caso es que a mi esposo le fascinan porque le recuerdan mucho a Colombia y por ende aprendí a hacer un buen sudado de pollo para poderlo disfrutar en casa. ¡Buen Provecho! ¡Gracias! Chicken Caesar Pizza With Oven Roasted Tomatoes - Lovely Little Kitchen. Are you ready for something really fresh and full of flavor?

Chicken Caesar Pizza With Oven Roasted Tomatoes - Lovely Little Kitchen

This Chicken Caesar Pizza With Oven Roasted Tomatoes is healthy and light, but really packs a punch when it comes to taste. It starts with a homemade thin crust, and a layer of caesar dressing, then fresh chopped baby greens, grilled chicken, Parmesan cheese shavings, and oven roasted tomatoes to top it all off. If you’ve never roasted your own tomatoes before, it is easy to do.

Just cut them in half, toss them with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, and then spread them out of a baking sheet. Roast them at a high temperature for 15 minutes and they will bubble and burst. I found this Opa Greek Yogurt Caesar dressing that worked out really well for this pizza. Baked Buffalo Wings.

Hubby had a boys’ night this past weekend.

Baked Buffalo Wings

Which means I got booted out so a bunch of guys could light absinthe on fire and talk about man-stuff. I have no idea what that stuff is exactly. What do men talk about when their female counterparts aren’t around? I think I’d rather not know… One thing I do know, however, is that wings are man food. That doesn’t mean ladies don’t love them, too. Buffalo wings are typically cooked naked, then liberally tossed with a butter-hot sauce mixture and served with a cooling, creamy blue cheese dip. Honey Chipotle Chicken Bowls with Lime Quinoa. You guys.

Has this not been the longest week ever? Is it because of the polar vortex thing which I keep calling the polar bear vortex since I can’t remember the name? Is it because the holidays are over and it’s the first full week back to real life and it’s just… so meh? Is it because the universe is testing my positivity plans? Is it because we’re staying up ‘til the wee hours of the morning just to watch sons of anarchy and I’m living on like four hours of sleep, which really WOULD make this the longest week ever? I dunno I dunno. Life fears set in this week. Yeah. I even wrote about it in my beauty faves. Well.
