Okay so I am feeling the need to blog about my latest food adventures...I tried three new recipes in one week alone! It's fun and I feel more and more confident, especially with such a supportive husband =).

#1: Garlic Lime Chicken Fajitas
          These were super yummy! Let the chicken marinade for about an hour and you are good to go. This recipe was quite a bit of work though in prep.

#2: Sloppy Joes
           Who knew that homemade 'Joes are even better than Manwich??? Ketchup, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, mustard, a dash of Worcestershire, salt and pepper.... delicious!!!

#3: Stuffed Shells, Taco Style
          Probably exactly what you are picturing... I made a taco meat mixture (with cheese/sour cream/salsa), stuffed that in the shells, placed them in a casserole dish with a layer of black beans on the bottom to keep them from tipping over. Top with salsa and cheese and throw it in the oven!

#4: Lentil-Zucchini burritos/tacos
          Um, yeah. We recently discovered lentils are not that bad...cook them kind of like rice, toss in a little cumin, garlic, onion, salt and pepper, add diced zucchini, salsa, and cheese....voila! Stuff your tacos or burritos to your heart's content.

#5: Baked Zucchini
          Well, you've heard of baked spaghetti? Same concept except that you layer the meat and/or cheese over some halved zucchini. Actually pretty delicious and one whole zucchini is only 12 calories!

So those are my recent adventures...let me know if you want more details on the recipes!
