Brussel Sprout and Bacon Pizza

My sister and I have developed a weird obsession with brussel sprouts thanks to her boyfriend. We probably have them about once a week. Maybe twice. This time we made brussel sprout and bacon pizza! MMMMM.

First we used this recipe to make the brussel sprouts delicious. Then we used this recipe for really quick pizza dough. Instead of baking it in the oven for 20 minutes like I indicated on the homemade pizza recipe, we lightly oiled a frying pan (which we could put in the oven) and let the dough get nice an brown underneath while putting the topping on it. Then we popped it under the broiler until it was all nice and melted.

Toppings: tomato sauce (with a splash of sherry vinegar, garlic, s & p, hot pepper flakes and olive oil), monterey jack cheese, brussel sprouts.

Chipotle Chicken Fajitas with Creamy Black Bean Spread

Move over old el paso fajitas! We made these delicious fajitas last week. A little more time consuming then old el paso, but worth it.

The black bean spread is super good. My sister and I were thinking it could even be used as a dip for some chips. Or just eat it on its own. Just kidding that's weird... but it is really good.

The chicken marinade is really tasty. We made it again this week to eat on its own.

Recipe and instructions were followed very closely.

We topped ours with peppers, avocado, cheese, the spread, chicken and fresh cilantro.
