Taco Rice Salad
Posted by Chelle as Beef, Mexican, Salads | 0 Comments
I saved a Cooking Light recipe ages ago and finally got around to trying it tonight. I really enjoy Mexican food and I usually make fajitas, but this recipe for taco salad sounded insanely good and I couldn’t wait to make it! The only things I changed were ommitting the chili powder and cumin to make it more mild, and ommitting the chopped tomato because I hate tomatoes. This turned out fabulous - I’ll be saving this recipe 
I made tortilla bowls using fajita wraps that I had in the house. They were super easy to make - I inverted two ramekin cups on a baking pan, coated them with cooking spray and laid the tortillas on top. I brushed them with some olive oil and baked them at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes, until browned and crispy.

Chicken Salad

This is a delayed Mother’s Day weekend post When I had my mom and sister over on Saturday for lunch, I made my mom’s favorite lunch - chicken salad. I didn’t follow a recipe but just threw together what I thought sounded good. My mom loved it! I served these on croissants - you could do any type of roll, or even lettuce cups.
**Note - I didn’t put any nuts in this salad because I’m allergic, but I think cashews or walnuts would be great!

Baked Pasta

I had never made a baked pasta dish before this weekend, so I decided to give it a shot. I looked through tons and tons of recipes before deciding to make up my own. I also used a new recipe for sauce that I made by combining my favorite parts of different recipes. I definitely think this will be my new sauce recipe! I added the recipe for the sauce at the bottom of this post.

Nothing says good morning quite like a sweet chocolate scone! These scones have become sort of my signature recipe with my family and friends. These are great for a sweet breakfast or a little dessert after dinner, or a snack, or… anytime at all!

Pepperoni + Cheese + Bread = YUM!

That’s a direct quote from KayteandRob
My grandma is famous for her pepperoni rolls. She has made them for as long as I can remember and I always gobble them up as soon as I can get my hands on them. I’ve been wanting to try to make them but was a little nervous about messing up a “classic”. Tonight I finally made them and they turned out GREAT.
The “recipe” is not much of one, and it is super simple! I didn’t measure anything, just went on sight, and the knowledge that I like a lot of pepperoni!
