This week I tried four new recipes ,three of which I found on Pinterest (my newest obsession!).
Spaghetti with Tomatoes, Black Olives and Feta
This was quick, easy and
delicious! I would definitely make it again.
I used brown rice spaghetti and we had a salad with it. Make sure to buy pitted Kalamata olives!

Jamaican Brown Stew Chicken with Red Beans and Rice
I am not a fan of coconut at
all, but recipes with coconut milk are usually delicious, and these two didn’t
disappoint! I used chicken legs, but next time I'd use breasts. Both recipes also call for a scotch bonnet pepper, but I used a jalapeno and it didn't add any heat at all. I cooked this on a Sunday
because the recipes were not quick and required more time and work than I have on a weeknight. We had steamed asparagus and a
salad with it. Here are the links to the
recipes: Chicken and Red Beans and Rice
Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork Tacos and Steamed Green
Beans
This was delicious! I served the pork in corn tortillas with sour
cream, salsa, shredded cheese, tomatoes and green onions as toppings. I used a pork loin and it was so tender and
pulled apart easily. YUMMY!!! Here’s
the RECIPE.
Crockpot Honey Sauced Chicken
This
is cooking right now as I type this and oooooh it smells good! It tastes good too! I had 2 chicken breasts and 4 chicken thighs
in the freezer, so I put them all in the crock with this sauce. The recipe says to cut the chicken into
bite-size pieces, but I shredded it with a fork. We`ll have it over rice with some steamed
broccoli and a salad. Click HERE for the
recipe.
Spaghetti with Italian Sausage and Salad
I
try not to make pasta more than once a week, but I wanted something quick and
easy for Friday night, so pasta it was!
I cook up some Italian sausages (hot or mild), cut them up into bite
size pieces when they are cooked and put into some pasta sauce. Again, brown rice spaghetti and a salad
complete this meal.
