Weekly Favorites 03/23/19 to 03/30/19

It's been a busy few weeks, and I haven't been able to post like I would like. I'm back, and I'll be

posting some new content this week!

Every Saturday, I go through Twitter with #foodblogger and find my favorite food related articles. These are this week's favorites!

I always like restaurant reviews. They give a better insight to local fares for traveling than any travel guide can bring. While I don't have a trip to New Zealand planned at the moment, it's somewhere I've always wanted to go. This gives me something to plan around.

I've been trying to replace beef with chicken where possible lately. That means that I need new chicken recipes. A bonus of this recipe, is that it is all baked in the oven!

If you want a complete, wholesome and nutritious meal then this is the recipe for you! Shawarma-style chicken breast with lemon potatoes and green beans is entirely baked in the oven!

I would go to my neighbors' house when I was little and hang out for hours. They were a retired couple. Sometimes for lunch they would make us Sloppy Joes. Funny, those were the only ones I ever really liked. I'm interested to try out this vegan version.

I've always thought that fad diets were just that, fads. Most of the time, the latest trend isn't sustainable. Take Keto for instance. Is your diet sustainable, or is it just the latest band wagon?

I love spicy rice dishes. This looks like a dish I might make for myself on a weekend when the wife and kids are out of town, and I'm left to fend for myself!

I hate say it, but I have been neglecting my beloved blog lately. My main hustle, has eclipsed my side

hustle. On top of all of that, my life is about to take on another huge change, with the birth of my third son just around the corner. I am hoping that this doesn't eat in to any of my blogging time, but I am aware of the reality of having a baby in the house. You may have noticed the title of this post, and seen that it is over a month old! It's okay to take a break from time to time, but it pains me neglect this outlet. Anyway, on to the food!

Another week, another batch of favorites! This week, I decided to focus on my first two food loves, pastries and pasta!


The Ultimate Easy Savory Tart Recipe with Tomato, Pesto, and Goat Cheese - via Tooting Mama

I learned a long time ago that not all pastries are sweet! In Hawaii, I once had savory pancakes paired with fried chicken! That was a huge lesson for my culinary mind. A savory pastry can stand on it's own as a side? I can't wait to try this out!

So, we find ourselves drinking hot chocolate, just because it is appropriate for the season! it may still be hot out, but it's December, so I'm having my hot chocolate. This ice-cream sandwich may be the solution we have been looking for!

Giant Chocolate Chip Sharing Cookie - via Treasure Every Moment

I have a pretty big appetite, sometimes to the point of greed. When the bowl of queso is nearing the end, I find myself sad that the queso is almost gone, only to realize that I have been chain eating chips and queso up until the point it is almost gone! I don't usually have that problem with cookies, because they are not usually shareable! Challenge accepted!

Spicy Bacon and Chorizo Penne - via Cooking with Anadi 

This recipe has three of my top requirements: spice, bacon, and pasta! Put these ingredients in any recipe, and you'll find me drawn to it like a fly to streetlight! Otherwise, this recipe is incredibly simple, with only 5 listed steps, which is another thing I like. I've never understood these recipes that list 37 ingredients, with 3 dozen steps. Food should be simple. I can't wait to try this one!
