Oh Hey Monday!
Forgive me because I feel this post is going to be random and all over the place!
How about that Super Bowl? Was anyone disappointed by the outcome?
I have to admit I really didn't care who won. I pretty much watch the Super Bowl for the commercials, and half time show, anyone else like me?
This was my favorite commercial of the evening!
And thank goodness Madonna sounded better then last years Black Eyed Peas Performance!
We sat around eating delicious homemade pizza, guacamole delicious, Trader Joe's dessert and some yummy salad!
(My pizza was loaded with spinach, basil, and cilantro, and of course we had pepperoni for my dad)!
Sounds perfect to me!
This week is a short one for me, since I leave for Columbus on Thursday!
So this weeks Pinterest Challenges is going to be short, but don't worry still delicious!
I did finish off last weeks Pinterest challenges this weekend with the final two dishes!
And both were delicious, and in my mind keepers.
Lets start with this soup.
Spinach, Tomato Orzo Soup
Tasted like a grown up version chicken noodle soup. I loved the addition of spinach, and the orzo made this broth base soup seem thick and filling! This recipe makes a big pot of soup. Would be perfect to make on Sunday nights then you would have delicious soup to eat the entire week!
That yummy salad I mentioned above, well that would be this salad...
Balsamic Chicken, Spinach and Tomato Pasta Salad
So good! I loved that there was a subtle balsamic flavor, and that the salad was not dripping in dressing. I topped my serving with a bit of feta, which was a great flavor punch! Easy to assemble, and keeps well. This salad will be making its way into my lunch box this short work week!
Lets wrap up this post with the two recipes in this weeks Pinterest Challenge.
I found this gem of a recipe, and immediately decided I had to make them this week!
Mexican Stuffed Peppers
I love stuffed peppers! And I have not made them in what seems like forever! Hoping these ones will have a great flavor, and judging by the spices called for I think they will be delicious!
And numero two...
Vegetarian Fried Rice
I am hoping this will taste like a healthy version of my favorite fried rice from PF Changs!
This week I am also trying to lighten up on of my moms favorite breads recipes, stay tuned for the results!
Happy Monday!
PS: Anyone score some Jason Wu pieces this weekend at Target?
I did't venture out Saturday to check out the collection, but I am going to go see if out local Target has pieces left! Such a great collection, full of classic pieces!
