Quality time in the kitchen

It's been a snowy, winter wonderland here in Colorado this past week.  Just when we think it's gone for good, another round of white fluffy stuff covers the ground.  Since the bad roads and cold weather seem to be keeping us all indoors, what better way to pass the time than by cooking!!  I don't remember the last time I've been this busy in the kitchen. 

So far the menu has included:

• breaded chicken covered in a creamy basil sauce (recipe thanks to Megan)
• jalapeno turkey burgers (recipe thanks to Gavin)
• bacon and green pepper egg bake (pinterest)
• chicken hot dish
• banana chocolate chip cookies (pinterest)
• tequila lime pork chops
• bbq pineapple pulled chicken over rice (pinterest)
• white chocolate chip brownies
• smoked bacon cheese dip (Tastfully Simple)
• spicy chipotle cheese baked chicken

**All of the pinterest links will take you to my pinterest page where it then brings you to the original post.

Some of these are a little different and out of my "norm" for cooking.  It's fun to experiment with new flavors and recipes.  Luckily I have a husband who's only more than happy to be my taste tester.  I still have a tiered cake to fit in there somewhere that I've been dying to decorate! :) 

Unfortunately I wasn't thinking when I was doing all of this amazing cooking and forgot to take pictures.  I guess I was just too excited (and hungry) to remember.  The good news is that since they were all so good, the hubby has requested that they all be made on a more regular basis.  Looks like I'll have plenty of opportunities to take pictures in the future. 

I don't know about you, but just thinking about all of this cooking is making me hungry again.  Lol, back to the kitchen I go!!  Hope everyone is having a fantastic Monday! :)
