  My fave recipe is vegan since FI and I are non meat eaters.
  Totally Awesome Tacos
  
  Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  
      1/2 cup onion, chopped
      olive oil, as needed
      1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
      1/4 teaspoon salt
      2 cloves garlic, minced
      1 (15 ounce) can light kidney beans
      3/4 cup water
      1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet vegan taco seasoning
      1/4 cup nutritional yeast
      10 taco shells    
  
  Directions:
  
  1. Saute onion in olive oil until brown. Add green bell pepper, garlic, and salt. Saute 3-5 minutes more.
  
  2. Add in beans, water and taco seasoning.
  
  3. Let simmer until reduced, stirring occasionally.   While stirring, smash up the beans as much as you like (I use a potato masher to get them fairly smooth).
  
  4. Stir in nutritional yeast. Place into taco shells. 
  
  My favorite toppings are avocado, tomato, lettuce, and vegan sour cream.  Also, makes an awesome chip dip or layered bean dip. Enjoy!

  Now I really do LOVE to cook! All of these sound awesome! Really looking forward to trying those tacos!!!!!!
  
  I think after the wedding cooking is really going to kick my life up a notch. I am so overly obsessed with cooking and making meals that make people feel GOOD and entertaining is like my niche.
  
  Anywho I don't know what my absolute favorite recipe is but here is my
  
  RICOTTA STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST
  
  1 pack of skinless/boneless chicken breasts
  1 small tub of ricotta cheese {part milk if your counting calories}
  1.5 cups of fresh crabmeat
  3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  1 cup of mozzerella & cheddar cheese mixed
  1 cup of cooked spinach DRAINED
  EVOO {extra virgin olive oil}
  1 onion chipped finely
  2-3 cloves of garlic chopped {i like garlic so i use 3}
  
  in a large skillet coat the bottom wil enough EVOO to sear the chicken breasts. DO NOT douse the chicken in the oil you only want enough to sear. When the chicken is brown on both sides remove them and place on paper towels to let the oil drain off. Chicken is not supposed to be fully cookied at this point. The final stage gets done in the oven.
  
  In the same pan with the chicken drippings, add in the garlic and let simmer for 1 minute then add about 2 tbsp of EVOO and then the onions. Cook until translcent, drain but keep that oil for flavor.
  
  In a large bowl, add ricotta cheese, cooked and drained spinach, onions, garlic, bread crumbs, crabmeat and 3/4 cup of cheese. Mix it all together, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add in 1 egg to keep the filling together and set in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes just so it firms up a bit and is easier to work with.
  
  Take the chicken breast and add stuffing to the middle of it {about 1-2 tsp depending on the size of the breast} roll it from the bottome up and secure with either cooking string or toothpicks. Do this until all of the chicken breasts are stuffed. If you have leftover filling you could always make manicotti, or stuffed shells and freeze them for another dinner.
  
  Take the oil from the onions and garlic and drizzle it into a baking pan making sure it's coated. sit the rolled up chicken breasts in the baking pan and bake on 350 for 25 minutes {covered to keep it juicy}. Add the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese to the top and bake until it's bubbly and gooey on top.
  
  *sometimes i will add marinara to the bottom of the pan if i want a saucey base but it's up to you
  
  I like to serve a dish like this with homemade mashed potatoes or just a simple thin pasta {angel hair or thin spaghetti} cooked and tossed lightly in evoo salt and parsley for garnish!
  
  BUEN PROVECHO
