Bacon Cups (via not martha): Feature Fridays
Like chocolate, bacon is always worthy of Feature Fridays, especially when this kind of creativity is involved. As soon as I saw someone was making bacon cups, I imagined whole line of bacon dinnerware—edible cups, bowls, plates is the ultimate way to go green, right.

Fajita Salad w/ Cilantro-Lime Dressing
Leftover Fajitas are eaten rather quickly around our house, so if there is any hope to have a Fajita Salad, we have to claim what remains right away. Fajita beef, peppers, mushrooms, and onions over a bed of tender greens and avocado with a cilantro-lime dressing will make you think twice about getting wrapped-up in [...]
Kitchen Sink Salad Mondays
In an effort to adopt some sort of routine, I may have to resort to planning meals around theme days to make life a little easier. We have always enjoyed left overs on Sundays so that there is truly a day of rest, but the remainder of the week I try to create something fresh [...]
