Delicious...

Growing up my family ate out ALL the time.  My mom enjoyed not having to cook and clean and we all loved having the variety that a restaurant offers. Even on Christmas morning we would go to Denny's in our pajamas.  I know...my family is high class going to Denny's...it's actually my favorite restaurant next to Sizzlers!

With that being said, Ken and I try to be good about eating at home. Eating at home is good for our wallets and waist line! It's become a little easier now that I have found that I have a love for cooking (...didn't get that from momma).  Being married has given me someone fun to test out my new recipes on.  Some are great....and some are not so edible. But the fun is in trying something new and experimenting in the kitchen. 

Last night one of my best friends, Jonny, came over for dinner. Jonny is the pickiest eater I have ever know so planning a menu was tough.  I like to make food that looks pretty, is so very tasty and is easy to prepare.  So that's what I did. I found some awesome recipes on pinterest and I will share them with you!

I made...

Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites from an awesome blog Salad in a Jar. I did make a few adjustment because Ken and I like it spicy! I know what you're thinking but I was talking about food! I left the jalapeno seeds in and used a good amount of cream cheese (the first time I skimped but this time it was perfect).  For the record Jonny wouldn't eat my chicken so we grilled chicken in bbq sauce jsut for him!



Crash Hot Potatoes that I found on another cool blog For the Love of Cooking.  These were really easy to make and tasted great.  I actually used a little garlic salt rather than sea salt and cracked pepper!


So there you have it...two new recipes to try.  Bon appetite!
