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!

Time for another batch of favorite food and restaurant articles! This week, we go from chicken fajitas, to a vegan, no bake chocolate cheese cake!


Chicken Fajitas - via The Indian Claypot

I've never been shy about my love for fajitas. So when a new recipe option comes available, it is sure to catch my eye! This one is an Indian fusion recipe!

Chicken Braised with Lemon, Sage, and Olives - via Villa Sentieri

I love olives. No, really, I may have a problem! Sometimes my salads are olives with a side of olives! This chicken sounds almost perfect with lemon, sage, and of course, olives! I can't wait to try this one out!

Spaghetti with Smoked Trout Carbonara - via The Pasta Project

One of the things I love about the Weekly Favorites series, is that it helps me find inspiration for foods I might not have otherwise tried or conceived! This Smoked Trout Carbonara is one of those! I would have never thought to combine smoke trout with pasta! I will have to add this to the list of things to try!

This divine #spaghetti with smoked trout #carbonara is my go-to dish when I def want to impress my guests! Based on a Michelin star restaurant #recipe it's actually pretty easy to make! https://t.co/MDGFvZZYkr #lovepasta #smokedtrout #italianfood #foodblogger #pastarecipe pic.twitter.com/ydRPDL6tFL

No Bake Chocolate Coconut Cheesecake - via Game of Cookies

At first, I wasn't sold on this cheesecake recipe. I'm a bit of a purest when it comes to cheesecake and the idea of a no bake didn't quite appeal to me at first. But then, two things struck me! The flavor combination of chocolate and coconut have been steadily growing on me. Also, my wife has been trying to avoid dairy, which means if I make a cheesecake at home, I'm basically baking for myself. Maybe that's not such a bad thing! So maybe, this no bake, vegan cheesecake could make for a compromise!

Foodies of Twitter!! Looking for a delicious cheesecake to bake over the weekend?! YOU FOUND IT! Go ahead and try this vegan chocolate &coconut cheesecake! You won't regret it! 🥥🍫🤤
