Greek Pasta Salad

I love Greek salad, and I love pasta. Combine the two, and you have my favorite summer side dish. Feels weird talking about summer right now, as Edmonton has had a bit of a cold snap and the weather is miserable. But, no matter the weather, this Greek pasta salad is delicious.

Cinnamon Buns

I love The Pioneer Woman. I have only one small problem, she is generous with the fat and sugar in her recipes. So generous, that sometimes I wonder if she is doing it for shock value. I have her cookbook, and she has a recipe for the most incredible looking cinnamon buns. I tweaked the recipe slightly to lower some of the health concerns I had regarding them, and this is what I came up with:

Mac n Cheese

I was on holidays this previous week. Normally I would try to make write a couple posts and set them up to post throughout my holidays, but I am an idiot. I thought I was on holidays this current week, and found out last Saturday that I was actually gone this past week. So it was a mad scramble to get ready to go, and preparing blogs fell to the wayside.
I made individual mac and cheese before I left. The recipe is from Everyday Food.

Taco Cups

I was watching Eat, Shrink and Be Merry the other night. On the show two sisters always compete with a restaurant's signature dish. The restaurant makes it the way they usually do, and the sisters make the recipe over in a healthy way.
The episode I watched was taco salad, and it inspired the following.

Calzone

Sorry for the lack of posting that has been going on lately. I am still here, and I am trying to cook when I can. I made calzones the other night. Ever since my friend A made these for me, I have been craving them in a bad way.

Baked Chimichangas

Chimichangas are deep fried burritos. I have made something close to a chimichanga before, only I pan fried them instead of deep frying. Recently I made a new attempt at chimichangas, making them crispy by baking them instead of frying.

Breakfast Bakes

I had half a loaf of french bread leftover from dinner one night. The next day I wanted to use up the bread, but as it was a day old and slightly stale, slicing it up and serving it alongside dinner wasn't an option. I had an intense craving for french toast, and while I was searching for recipes I found one that inspired a french toast bake. Read after the jump for the recipe for the french toast bake, as well as a savoury breakfast bake.
