So I realize that it is my turn and I am such a bad wife nowadays and never cook so I went to foodnetwork.com (which made me extremely hungry by the way) and found a delicious looking recipe by none other than my favorite...Rachael Ray! So here it is :)

1/2 pound thin cut (cutlets) boneless, skinless chicken breast
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Grill seasoning blend (recommended: Montreal Seasoning by McCormick) or salt and pepper
2 tablespoons cornmeal or all-purpose flour
1 package store bought pizza dough (you are making 1 12-inch pie)
2 to 3 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 tablespoons plum sauce or Peking Duck Sauce
3 tablespoons barbecue sauce, any variety or brand
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack, available on dairy aisle
2 scallions, chopped in 1-inch pieces on an angle
1/4 red bell pepper, chopped

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Heat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle oil over chicken cutlets and season with grill seasoning blend or salt and pepper. Grill chicken 3 or 4 minutes on each side. Slice chicken into very thin strips.
Sprinkle a pizza pan or baking stone with cornmeal or flour. Press dough into a pizza shell, working all the way to edges of the pan. Sprinkle the edges of your dough with sesame seeds. Cover the pie with 3 tablespoons each plum sauce or duck sauce and barbecue sauce. Cover pie with cheese. Top with sliced chicken and scallions and red pepper. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until crisp and cheese is bubbly. Cut into 8 slices.

Taco Salad!

I love taco salad. I have always made it on a bed of broken corn chips, however that is not how it is served at a restaurant. To make a taco salad shell make a ball (for each taco salad) out of foil. I loosely scrunch a sheet of foil into a shape of a ball. The ball should be roughly 3 inches, about the size of the "bowl" you want. Put a flour tortilla over the ball and spray with cooking spray. The tortilla will start to drape itself over the ball of foil in the oven. Bake in a 425 oven for 6-8 mins, watch for the tortillas to look golden brown. Remove the tortilla's from the oven, toss the balls, or save for a later date :) Then fill with your choice of seasoned beef, shredded chicken, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, peppers...you get the idea. A great way to toss in tons of veggies. Ta Da! Yum Yum.

Ice Cream Pie

This recipe is from a cute lady at my old work and it is so YUMMY and so easy! And is fun because you can make it over and over lots of different ways with different flavors of ice cream that go well with the chocolate or the carmel! Enjoy! :)

Crust: Melt 1/2 cup butter; add 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts; mix until crumbly. Pat out on cookie sheet about 1/2 inch thich. Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Let cool. Reserve 1/4 cup crumbs. Crumble and pat into pie plate.

Add 1 cup carmel or chocolate topping over pie crust.

Freeze until well set.

Add 1/2 gallon softened ice cream of choice.

Sprinkle with remaining crumbs and drizzle with syrup. Freeze until ready to serve.
