Black Pepper and Lime Oven Fries Recipe I'm kicking off the new year with these fantastic black pepper and lime oven fries. It is a recipe and flavor combination) inspired by a recent trip to New Zealand. But before we get too far into the food side of things I want to talk a bit about resolutions. Between marathon-length international flights and media-free evenings in a camper van I've had ample time to think about resolutions in the days leading up to the new year. The funny thing is, my resolutions don't seem to change drastically from year to year. A couple years back I wrote, "I look forward to 2005 being a year where; I see more of the world I live in through travel and photography, I spend more time with my sister, I make an effort to collaborate on projects with interesting, innovative individuals." Thinking about this year, all of those resolutions still resonate. On the road back to the hotel from the produce shop I looked up to see a billboard marketing a brand of New Zealand potato chips. Serves 4 - 6.
Bacon Wrapped Chicken So, I opened up the freezer to see what I wanted to make for dinner and an idea literally jumped out at me. A package of bacon fell out of the freezer and almost landed on my foot. Apparently it was done living in the freezer... So what do you do with some chicken breasts you're not sure what to do with, and some suicidal bacon? So here is my "recipe" for some bacon wrapped chicken that I've made up. Step 1: Start out with your chicken breast on top of a layer of plastic wrap, then another piece of plastic wrap on top. Step 2: Then take out your anger and hit the chicken with your husband's hammer or a meat tenderizer. Step 3: Next, lay out some bacon on a plate. 2-4 pieces vertically, and 2 pieces horizontally (I used 4 because I was trying to use up the bacon). Step 4: Lay your chicken in the center of the bacon. Other filling ideas: Pepper Jack cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, Mozzarella cheese, jalapeños, green chilis, green onions, spinach, mushrooms, onion, and asparagus
Roadside Diner Cheeseburger Quiche My oldest son saw this in a magazine and instantly proclaimed he wanted it for dinner. I was rather surprised as most kids, including my own, don’t like food that is touching or mixed up. In other words, casseroles are usually out. But when my kids see something they want me to make, I usually oblige. I have to admit this quiche is pretty cool, it does taste exactly like a cheeseburger. Your first bite will surprise you as your mind is seeing quiche but you are tasting burger. If you happen to have a man who will not eat quiche, well, I think he’ll be happy with this one. In a large skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, mustard, pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Unroll pie crust into a 9″ deep-dish pie plate (make sure it’s deep dish, otherwise, the mixture will not fit) and flute the edges. Bake at 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

The Best Macaroni and Cheese Recipe Ever I can say this is the best macaroni and cheese recipe ever because it's not really my recipe. I tweaked it a tiny bit - basically made it even more fattening - but otherwise, it's someone else's. It's from someone named Bev, who posted her recipe on Recipezaar and to whom I am eternally grateful. See, macaroni and cheese is pretty much my all-time favorite food. One of my first-ever memories is of sitting down in front of the TV with a bowl full of macaroni and cheese and watching Emergency! I should probably stop there. So back to Bev. Bev is probably totally creeped out now too. I'm a total freakfest today. Oh - and this recipe is great with many noodles other than macaroni (like penne, yum!) Okay, I'm shutting up now. (Conchiglie pasta - this organic Montebello stuff is out of this world:) Here's the recipe! Adapted from the Bev's Macaroni and Cheese recipe on Recipezaar Serves 5 - 6 Ingredients 8 oz. to 10 oz. macaroni or other pasta (like conchiglie!) Instructions
Poppy Seed Chicken The type of food most searched for on this blog is “Casseroles” which tells me that you are just like me in the fact that sometimes you just need an easy casserole to feed the troops and call it good. Now I know that casseroles aren’t fancy but sometimes you just have to get ‘er done. I’ll be honest…somedays I’m lucky if I get a shower and others I’m more together and want to put a little more effort into dinner. So I’ve included the basic poppy seed chicken recipe which by itself is awesome…and then additional ingredients I like to add to make it a little bit more fantastic when I have the time. Oh yeah, and kids love this which makes for a tantrum free dinner table. Ingredients 5 cups chicken breasts, cooked and cubed 1 cup sour cream 2 (14.5 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup 2 cups crushed Ritz crackers (about 1 1/2 rolls of crackers) 1/2 cup melted butter 1 Tablespoon poppy seeds Additional Ingredients to make it fancy: Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
