Let's face it, chicken gets boring. Here is an EASY, and healthy twist to your everyday chicken.
Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breasts (fresh or thawed)
1 cup Dijon Mustard
Garlic Salt
1 can Corn
1 green pepper (chopped)
2 Roma Tomatoes (chopped)
1 tablespoon cilantro
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon orange juice
Directions:
Cover the chicken in dijon mustard. You don't need to marinate it, just make sure it is covered.
Broil the chicken in the oven at 500. You can also throw these on the grill, whichever you prefer. Turn continuously until cooked through.
Mix the corn, pepper, tomatoes, cilantro, vinegar, and orange juice together. Sprinkle with garlic salt to taste.
Serve the chicken with the salsa on top. Enjoy!!
I made these yesterday and they are fabulous, especially when served with your favorite ice cream. (as if you needed to add any more sugar or calories, but hey, I say go big or go home when it comes to dessert)
Ingredients:
2 pkg. sugar cookie dough (i use pillsbury brand, but any will work)
1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 pkg. caramels
1/2 c. butter
1 jar caramel topping
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl, mix 1 pkg. sugar cookie dough, 2/3 c. rolled oats, 3/4 c. brown sugar, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Press this mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 9x13" pan. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.
In same bowl, mix the second package dough, 2/3 c. rolled oats, 3/4 c. brown sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Set aside.
In a medium sized sauce pan, melt the sweetened condensed milk, the unwrapped caramels and the butter until smooth. Make sure all the caramels are melted.
When the crust is done baking, pour the caramel mixture over the top of the crust. Sprinkle the second crust mixture over the top and bake for 20-25 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool and top with the caramel mixture. This can be served chilled or warm. I prefer warm with a side of ice cream.
My family absolutely loves these. Watch out, they are addicting.
This is another great salad that meets the needs of those with larger appetites. I don't claim to be Italian or know that much about Italian food, but this is my take on it.
Ingredients:
3 Heads Romain Lettuce
1 pkg. sliced salami
1 pkg. turkey lunch meat
1 can olives, sliced
1 can artichoke hearts
1/4 c. capers
3 Roma tomatoes, sliced
1/2 c. mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 c. Vinaigrette Dressing (I like Newmans Own dressings. Try the Light Balsamic Dressing or the Lime flavored one, these both work great!)
Directions:
Shred the lettuce. Toss in the dressing before you put on the toppings. It is always better to under dress than to over dress. This gives it a little flavor and then you can add more to the finished product later.
Add all the toppings, toss together, add a little more dressing and serve.
I love sun dried tomatoes! Oftentimes, I make my own, but to keep things easy, lets stay with the store bought kind. You can usually find these in the produce section. This recipe may sound a little complicated, but it is fairly easy and definitely delicious.

While I'm on the subject of bacon (an ingredient in my last recipe), I thought I would share a few ideas of what to do with those bacon drippings. My husband forbids me to pour them down the sink, especially when warm. So here are my ideas, feel free to submit some of yours.

Most of the men I know think of a salad as a dainty women's meal that could never satisfy a man's appetite, even as a side dish. At a BBQ a few years ago, I experimented with a number of ingredients and created this simple but delicious salad that has cime to be known as the "Man's Salad" which I've yet to see any male turn their nose to. Although it may not be the most healthy salad, it is a fail safe for any BBQ.

Food is my passion. I love to cook and create delicious recipes for my family and friends. Switching up traditional recipes to give them nutritive value and a healthy twist without compromising on the taste is what I do. I have traveled the world finding amazing foods which I love to recreate in my kitchen. I love eating out and am a definite food critic. I'm new to this blogging thing, but here goes nothing. . .
