Because mom taught me to share

It has been some time since I have posted a recipe. While I was thoroughly enjoying trying new recipes like crazy, my hubby began to beg for "the classics" (ie bbq pork chops, chicken fried rice, tacos, etc). He likes simple food, not casseroles or food mixed together (or "goop" as he calls it). Meat and potatoes. All the things I get bored with easily. But, I aim to please, so my recipe research frenzy has taken a backslide, at least for a little while.

I will, however, share links to a few gems that I have managed to add to our repertoire...

1. Feta & Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts. Oh, how I love love love this recipe. Hubby even liked it. I'm hungry just typing this. Supposedly this is from the South Beach Diet...that's what it says.

2. Monterrey Chicken - Similar to what's served at Chili's. Adds a little zing to the traditional barbecue chicken. And, it's 'bout as easy as it gets.

3. Homemade Calzones - These are a hit. It's fun to mess around with various fillings. Usually, I mix together about 5-6oz ricotta, 1 1/2 cup (or more) mozzarella, pepperonis, pressed garlic and Italian seasoning. I also do sauteed onions and mushrooms for mine. Yum!

4. Pasta Carbonara - Delicious pasta with a bacon white sauce. I'm salivating. I usually make it with bowtie pasta and add cooked chicken (sauteed with garlic & EVOO).

Um... I just noticed 3 of those recipes include bacon. Ha! That's what my man likes. You know, the healthy stuff.
