When I first saw these cheesy baked eggplant pizzas I was drooling up a storm. And I had a giant eggplant burning a whole in my fridge. I wasn't sure how Mark would respond to them either. Let me just say these were AWESOMELY good! And they were fairly easy too! Mark couldn't stop eating them. We ate the entire tray. The breadcrumbs give it a nice crispy texture and the sauce and toppings meld well with the eggplant base. We didn't even miss the pizza crust! I didn't have any spinach around at the time, but we used some Italian sausage and green peppers. I would imagine any pizza topping would work well!
I have to say one of my new food obsessions is asparagus. I find it is best when grilled or simply roasted with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. I tried simple roasted asparagus from The Wicked Noodle. Simply delicious. And easy. Cannot go wrong! I highly suggest trying it on the grill too! I served these sticks with some baked potatoes and easy pork chops! Definitely an Americana meal!
Last, but not least, my crock pot recipe for the week. You know a recipe is good if you can't wait to eat it again the next day for lunch. The best part? Easy! And I had all the ingredients at home already! Chief in Training's lime chicken tacos were to die for! The chicken was juicy and flavorful and the corn gave it a little crunch! We made burritos with some cilantro-lime rice. Yummy! I was a little worried at first because I had double the amount of chicken that needed to be cooked so I doubled the recipe before I had ever tried it. I am so glad I did. Now I have some chilling out in the freezer next time I need a quick meal.
I plan to make more crock pot meals more often. Easy clean up. No hassle. Delicious.
I think all of these recipes will make it into the "meal rotation."
Any amazing recipes you have found lately??
