pesto stuffed shells

pesto stuffed shells $8.51 recipe / $1.42 serving It should be obvious by now that I love to stuff things ( Pepperoni Stuffed Chicken , Cranberry Walnut Stuffed Pork Loin , Stuffed Poblano Peppers ).
This is my version of Italian Fried Chicken. Well I am a Southern girl after all & do love fried chicken so I thought this would be a good marriage of the two! I’ve been crazy for Panko lately & just love the texture & crunch that it gives, all the while being light & airy! http://www.bellalimento.com/2009/07/29/parmigiano-panko-herb-encrusted-chicken-breasts/

Parmigiano Panko Herb Encrusted Chicken Breasts

http://joelens.blogspot.com/2010/04/toasted-ravioli-with-marinara-sauce.html I'm not usually big on fried foods but I had a hankering for something crispy and cheesy. One Italian inspired appetizer I enjoy on occasion is toasted ravioli. Having this as an appetizer for my Pasta Party dinner was great since it featured how pasta doesn't always have to be the main course of a meal.

Toasted Ravioli with Marinara Sauce

Mozzarella Sticks

When I told my friends I was planning on making homemade mozzarella sticks for a guy’s weekend out of town the idea was met with a profound lack of enthusiasm. Everybody knows that I like to experiment in the kitchen, but somehow the idea of making a bar food staple like mozzarella sticks from scratch seemed like a complete waste of time to the group. After being lectured about the innumerable brands available in the freezer section at the grocery store and a heated debate about whether marinara or ranch is the better dipping accompaniment, I decided to risk further heckling and see if I couldn’t one-up T.G.I. Friday’s in my own kitchen. http://www.foodpeoplewant.com/mozzarella-sticks/

Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip

It seems that I may be a little addicted to hot cheesy dips. Last week I made a hot sweet onion dip and while I was looking for recipes for it I came across some recipes for hot spinach and artichoke dip. This new dip filled with cheese, cream cheese and mayonnaise sounded so good that I had to try it right away. But, with both spinach and artichokes in it, it is just a little bit healthier. ;) One of the things that I liked about this recipe was that I would get to use artichokes again and I had been looking forward to doing so.

Ok so I can hardly contain my excitement for the Super Bowl tonight, and I decided that a special weekend like this deserves a double post! Mr. Vittles and I had an appetizer similar to this at a restaurant recently, and I thought I might be able to replicate it at home. Well, all I can say is - sorry if you had any health-related New Years resolutions, because I'm pretty sure you will not be able to keep them with these puppies around. The dipping sauce really takes things to the next level.

Chicken and Asparagus Rolls

Golden baked coconut encrusted shrimp with a sweet and spicy apricot dipping sauce. Set these out on a platter in front of some hungry guests and I guarantee they will disappear!! "The best coconut shrimp I ever had" to quote my husband, that's how good these are, and he didn't even touch the dipping sauce! These will absolutely be making an appearance at my Christmas Eve dinner this year. I tried these using all egg whites but the crumbs stuck better with a whole egg, as for the flour, you will only use about 1 tbsp worth so that is what I calculated. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/12/skinny-coconut-shrimp.html#more

Skinny Coconut Shrimp

Have you ever been a situation when you wanted to throw out all things complicated - be it from serious life to career issues to as simple as clearing out a crumpled up wardrobe to your bookshelf? Ah! I know how it feels.

Chipotle style Cilantro Lime Rice

When I die and go to heaven . . . I sure hope they’re serving this. If you want a fast but ultra delicious meal in just minutes, this is the dish. The sauce is creamy, cheesy and crazy good!

CREAMY BACON CARBONARA

Vegan Red Potato Cilantro Salad Wrap Not only does this creamy Cilantro Red Potato Salad taste delicious on its own – but try it in a healthy wrap for breakfast lunch or a light dinner. Creamy cilantro, warm spices, bold flavors and crunchy veggies accent tender red potatoes. And this recipe is much healthier than you might think! Healthy Potatoes.

Creamy Cilantro Potato Salad - in a Wrap!

glazed pork chops

glazed pork chops $6.55 recipe / $1.63 serving I love getting my hair done. It's great to just chill for a couple of hours and cut up with the salon folks. Obviously, food is always a topic of conversation (because who doesn't like food) and my stylist, Amy, has given me some inspiration for recipes in the past . As always, she filled me in on what she had cooked that week and I got inspired.
