So he says to me as I was making dinner this week, "Why do you have to take pictures of every meal we make? This is getting a little ridiculous."
HA! What a supportive husband of my blog I have. Little does he know, it is a major stress reliever for me. It's a place I go to let it all out, regardless if anyone reads it or not. Although, I would love to have more followers:)
Anyways, in the working world (at least for me), recipes have to be fast, quick and easy. And still be tasty. I absolutely love trying out new recipes, especially when they come from someone who knows it was delicious.
So, three words for you babe: Deal with it.
I hope you guys enjoy the recipes and are trying them out! Have a great weekend everyone!

Here's a new, easy recipe I tried out last weekend. Every month, my bank (Cap Fed) sends a newsletter that includes a featured recipe. This one was REALLY good. Much to my surprise, Brian even loved it. He's not much of a salad guy (not too fond of lots of veggies) but he scarfed it down. Thanks Cap Fed!
A healthy bean salad with a zesty, full-of-flavor, hint of mexi-flavor type of dish. You could easily double this recipe if you are making for more than 4 people. It disappeared from our fridge in two days.
Chicken and White Bean Salad
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz. skinless, boneless chicken breast, roasted or grilled
2 (15 oz.) cans cannelloni (white kidney) beans, drained and rinsed
1 medium sweet, red bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 green onions (the recipe didn't call for this, I added it myself and I think it made a good difference)
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
DIRECTIONS:
Chop or shred chicken into small bite size pieces and place in large bowl. Add beans, red pepper and garlic; stir to blend. Mix remaining ingredients together and pour over chicken and beans. Mix thoroughly. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
This recipe is an excellent source of Vitamin C and fiber. It's also a good source of Vitamin A. Enjoy!
