Move Over Bdubs

For some odd reason, I've been really craving wings lately. I was looking on Pinterest one day trying to find a good, healthy recipe for wings that would be easy to make. I found this recipe for parmesan garlic wings that are super easy to make and DELICIOUS.

I've made the wings a few times now and they get better each time I cook them. They've become a hit with my friends and my roommates and I'm sure they'll continue to ask me to make them from time to time.

I stayed pretty true to the recipe with a few exceptions: I did my own spice combination (using spices that I know work together and that I like), added red pepper flakes for some spice, and added the minced garlic to the wings before baking for more flavor.

Easiest Pancakes Ever

Sunday morning, I wanted something different and special for breakfast. I got a sudden craving for pancakes, but didn't have the right ingredients. And since my friend and I were on a low carb challenge (which by the way only lasted a week), I knew real pancakes would ruin the progress. Bummer.

Looking on Pinterest, I found this recipe for low carb pancakes , which did not disappoint. This recipe only calls for 4 ingredients: cream cheese, eggs, cinnamon, and Splenda. The pancakes were light, filling, and tasted just like normal pancakes.

Part of me wishes the pancakes were a tad thicker, but the thinness makes it easier to eat as many as you want without feeling guilty :)

A Healthy Alternative

This past week, my friend has been trying out the Atkins diet. Since we're both usually home at the same time every night, we usually cook dinner together. The diet helps you cut down on your carbs, which required us to research some new recipes that are different from our normal, carb-filled meals.

Trust me, this diet seems hard! Turning to Pinterest, we found a nice, healthy alternative to a tasty, low carb meal: turkey and feta stuffed peppers. We actually had all of the necessary ingredients for this recipe, which made us super excited to try it out. It had longer prep and cook times than the past recipes I cooked, but it was pretty easy to make.

We strayed a little from the actual recipe by adding zucchini instead of celery and tomato sauce instead of paste, but the result was definitely a success. The peppers were filling, flavorful, and a healthy choice for dinner.

So Many Flavors

I've been on a huge salmon kick lately and wanted to try something different than plain old baked salmon. While laying in bed this morning, I looked on Pinterest for any cool and interesting salmon recipes that were also easy to make. As soon as I saw the recipe for BLT Salmon, I knew I had to try it.

The finished dish was fantastic. There are a ton of flavors going on, so I had to take about two bites before I made my decision about it. All of the flavors work together nicely and balance each other out. The saltiness of the bacon and salmon mixing with the sweetness of the tomato is delicious and unique.

This is a quick and easy dish to make and a great way to dress up a piece of salmon.
