Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites

http://www.salad-in-a-jar.com/family-recipes/bacon-wrapped-jalapeno-chicken-bites 441K+ A dd bacon to anything and it will fly off the table. That’s what a caterer once told me and I believe it. Certainly applies here.
I find there’s a fine line between like and obsessed . A whisper-thin, sliver of a line. Take my reverence for Target, for example. What began nearly ten years ago as a casual, “Hey I really think that place is the cat’s pajamas” slipped almost too quickly into me considering ways to spend an entire weekend within its red doors. How lovely a weekend that would be.

http://www.fortheloveofcooking.net/2009/02/vegetable-tian.html This is a recipe I adapted from one I found in “Barefoot in Paris” . We had friends over for dinner so I served this Vegetable Tian and it was a HUGE hit. The veggies were perfectly roasted, the potatoes were nice and tender and the caramelized onions were sweet and salty.

Mozzarella sticks are a delicious treat, probably one of the most popular appetizers at restaurants, and a fun party food. They tend to be rather fattening, especially considering they are usually fried, but they are so irresistibly tasty. So how do you give in to the temptation that is mozzarella sticks without the guilt? Make healthy, Baked Mozzarella Sticks !

We love soft pretzels!

Elsie and I always loved going to the mall with our mom growing up, even before we loved fashion. Our mom would always get us a soft pretzel at Auntie Ann's to share and it was always a fun treat. I still sometimes get a soft pretzel when I'm at the mall, as it reminds me of all those trips with our mom. Plus, soft pretzels are AWESOME! So we thought it would be fun to try and make our own at home. We made original and cinnamon sugar soft pretzels plus two kinds of sweet buttery dipping sauces.
Occasionally, I tease my mom for frequently serving spaghetti for dinner. She has done this since I can remember and continues to do so today. What she doesn’t know is that I have followed her trend. Shhh..don’t tell her!

Chicken Nuggets

I’m sitting here, staring at my screen, trying to figure out how to tell you that these little bites are the closest I’ve come to finding a replica of Chick-fil-a’s chicken nuggets. I didn’t want to title them as such, because they are not the exact recipe. Plus, I definitely do not want to infringe on any copyrights. Regardless, these are very close and I am extremely excited to know that leftovers are still in my freezer, ready to be enjoyed at a moment’s notice. Our life is full of irony, and one of the major examples involves Chick-fil-a. Ben and I both, equally, love the Christian-based fast food restaurant; for its principles and its food.
