Inspiration Nook Cravings – Prosciutto Appetizer

Oh Pinterest, you scored again. Another easy recipe with one of my favorite things ever, Prosciutto! I’m not kidding, the day I pinned this I went and got whatever I didn’t have to imitate it. I switched it up a bit by using cheddar cheese instead of Gouda as the recipe called for, it simply hit the spot It’s a great combination of flavors that anyone can create based on their own taste. Check out the original idea from She Wears Many Hats.

Inspiration Nook Cravings – Asparagus + Poached Eggs

I absolutely love both. Do you? Asparagus are so yummy anytime of the day and poached eggs are simply delicious. Sunday morning I woke up wanting something special for breakfast without having to leave the house. I honestly wish I could have this every morning but then again, weekend mornings wouldn’t feel as special then. I made this with what I had in the fridge. I guess the possibilities are endless. To make mine special, I used a slice of prosciutto (my all time fave) and sprinkled a bit of Parmesan & Asiago cheese on top. Perfect mix for the perfect breakfast. Don’t you love crazy concoctions from your fridge?

Inspiration Nook Cravings – Zucchini Muffins

Have you ever cook or baked something without ever having it before? That’s what I did when it came to these. I’ve heard about zucchini bread and/or muffins but never actually had them. We had some zucchinis in the fridge and I simply went for it. I followed this easy recipe and they were a success. Even though someone had said they weren’t going to have any, at this time, they have had more than me HA! I just love having all the ingredients for a spontaneous baking adventure. They were the perfect snack for the weekend. Have you ever had zucchini bread or muffins before? Let me hear ya!

Inspiration Nook Cravings – Spinach + Cream Cheese Rolls

I’ve been wanting to make something out of these crescent rolls we had in the fridge forever. I decided to experiment with some spinach and cream cheese. Just because I had one goal, get rid of the crescent rolls. My experiment turned out way better than I expected!

This is what I did… Preheated the oven at 350 degrees. I started by simply separating the rolls on a cookie sheet. I placed a tablespoon of cream cheese on each. Then in a bowl, I mixed a handful of chopped spinach, garlic salt, pepper and a bit of mozzarella cheese. I placed a little bit of the spinach mix on each roll and rolled them up. After 20 minutes in the oven, they were simply delicious! Super easy and perfect for a weekend morning or snack.

Inspiration Nook Cravings – The Counter

If you ever have the chance to go somewhere where you get to build your own gourmet burger, you know you are in trouble. The Counter is known specially for this. You can get whatever you want with whatever you wish on it. It’s a great place to take visitors from out of town, to go for a special date or when you just need that special burger you’ve been dreaming about for weeks.

My favorite one….Turkey burger with hard boiled eggs, mixed greens, caramelized onions and dried cranberries.

Yes, I’m weird and I know it.

Inspiration Nook Cravings – Turkey Bacon Mac & Cheese!

Last month while in Vegas, I had the best Mac & Cheese of my life. Yes, I’m not kidding. It had bacon and tomatoes. I’ve never had it before and it blew me away. Once back home I knew I had to give it a shot. I decided to make it using Turkey bacon instead to make it less fatty a bit more “healthy”. It came out A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It was super easy to cook and I made up my own recipe. It was just what I wanted and it definitely takes regular mac & cheese to the next level.

TURKEY BACON MAC & CHEESE

Ingredients:

- 2 Boxes of White cheddar Mac & cheese (You can make the mac & cheese from scratch if you aren’t lazy like me)

- 2 Roma Tomatoes (Sliced in little cubes)

- Turkey Bacon (To taste, I used 4 strips)

Preparation:

Cook Mac & cheese as directed on the box. While that’s cooking in a separate pan, cook the bacon. Add the tomatoes and mix with a little bit of minced garlic if you like. Add this to the Mac & Cheese once it’s done. Serve in your favorite bowl. Add some Parmesan cheese on top if you love cheese like me. Green onions would be another great topping too.

I told you it was easy! Are you a mac & cheese fan too? What combinations do you like? Any recipes you would like to share?

Hope you get inspired!
