New Meal Ideas

So I'm always on the lookout for new meal ideas and I like to know what other people eat, so I thought I'd share some of the new meals we've had this past week.

TLC recently started a new show call "Kitchen Boss". The host of "Cake Boss", Buddy Valastro, is also the host of Kitchen Boss. I watched the first week and found tons of new recipes I wanted to try.

The first recipe I tried was Chicken Sorrentino Fusilli, I didn't do it exactly like this recipe called for.... actually I don't think I can even call it by name because it wasn't anything like what Buddy made on the show!!! I used canned spaghetti sauce and I didn't add the chicken or bacon. This is the first time I made breaded/fried/eggplant.. whatever you want to call it. And it was delicious!! I also made the baked asparagus. I've NEVER made asparagus in my life and I was really surprised how well it turned out.

The next recipe we tried was a Calzone. Again we didn't really follow this recipe, it was more of using the idea and making it our own. I used a different pizza dough than the one Buddy used. If you want to check it out go here. Then we sautéed green bell peppers and onions, browned Italian sausage, mozzarella and parmesan cheese and made a tomato sauce (diced tomatoes, garlic and dried basil). These calzones were SOOOOO good!!! And the best part is that you can stuff them however you want! The dough was perfect and the flavor of the stuff inside was incredible. If you're looking for something new to make for dinner try calzones!

Today I'm baking these soft chocolate cookies. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Lastly, if you have any meal ideas you'd like to share, please leave me a comment!!
