Mozzarella Potato Wedges

This is one of those recipes that tastes a lot better than it looks.  I saw it on a Buzzfeed Tasty post via Pintrest but I dont have a direct link for it so I apologize if you enjoy those videos.  The original recipe called for Parmesan which is probably why this didnt turn out as well as the video's.  Ill likely be trying this again since we do love our potatoes in our house.


I N G R E D I E N T S
3 medium potatoes
3 eggs
1 c mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 c parsley
1 tbsp oregano
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Himalayan pink salt
1 tsp black pepper

P R E P A R A T I O N
Preheat oven to 375.

Wash potatoes and cut into wedges.

Crack eggs into a bowl & beat.

Place all spices & cheese into a bowl and blend well with a fork.

Take each wedge, dip into eggs, & roll into spice mixture.
Place onto a baking sheet & bake for 30 minutes.

Serve with dipping sauce of your choice (we went tradtional & had ketchup).

Ultimate Greek Chopped Salad

So usually I make a healthy recipe and a not so healthy recipe.   This week's not so healthy recipe was an epic fail -- it was a bit too heavy for myself and my other half.  Not to mention, the flavor profile definitely was not for us.  I took this as a sign from the universe that I should probably be making less than healthy recipes less often.  Ive decided to make them once a month.  Not to mention, it helps me stay in line with eating healthier and trying to curb my binge eating.

I got this recipe from The Garden Grazer.  It is vegan and gluten-free.  I follow neither of those lifestyles but this was damned delicious.  It was so fresh tasting and was the perfect side for my work week lunches.



I N G R E D I E N T S
1 cucumber, diced
4 roma tomatoes, diced
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 small red onion, diced
15 oz can chick pea, rinsed & drained

{dressing}
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp pink Himalayan salt


P R E P A R A T I O N
Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl & set aside.

Place all of the veggies in a larger bowl & pour dressing over top.
Toss to combine.
Let sit in the fridge overnight.
