taste of tuesday: what's been cookin'

here are a few of my new favorite recipes that have been making repeat appearances at our dinner table 3 ingredient pulled pork sandwiches

so easy and simple. great for a hot summer day when you don't want to warm your kitchen by slaving over the stove. and who'd a thunk: rootbeer!?! don't forget the slaw.

(almost as good as my chipotle pulled pork sandwiches)

mascarpone creme & fresh berries

need i say more? when looking for something to do with all that fruit you just bought at Costco, try this. easy. fresh. light.

chicken cordon blue

found this recipe while blog stalking a blog stalker of mine (cookinlicious, reveal yourself. you've got some great recipes)

stuffed shells with spinach-ricotta filling

a great way to incorporate spinach without your kids throwing a fit. i halved the recipe and was plenty for our family of 4. next time I'll use my grandpa's spaghetti sauce recipe instead of the stuff in a jar.

potato chip cookies

what to do with the small, broken pieces of chips? make cookies. that's right...potato chips are an ingredient in these cookies...and they are fantastic. if you like pecan sandies, you'll love these.

peach and gorgonzola pizza with chicken

a quick and easy alternative to your go-to pizza recipe. you'll even feel a little bit healthier when you eat this. make it even easier by using pre-made pizza crust (suggested: boboli thin crust). peaches aren't quite ripe enough so I substituted red pears. delish. and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar on anything wins me over every time.

best frosting...ever!

this recipe seems like a lot of work and includes flour, but it is seriously the best, lightest and relatively easy frosting to make. you'll never use another frosting again.

get cookin!
