Roasted Chicken and Garlic Hummus Lettuce Wraps

This is a healthy and delicious lunch or light dinner that can easily be made with left overs! Which is how I made mine. 

Roasted Chicken (turkey, duck, Cornish hen, any poultry will work really)

Iceberg lettuce leaves (be very careful to not break them)

Roasted garlic hummus (I almost always have some in the fridge)

Baby kale (Baby spinach will work too)

diced tomato

shredded mozzarella cheese

salt & pepper to taste

Take you lettuce leaf, double the leaves if it split and smooth about 1 tbs of hummus inside add about 1/4 cup of chicken, 1/4 cup of kale, sprinkle in a few diced tomatoes, some mozzarella cheese, and then salt & pepper too your taste and poof! you are done! Wrap made. 

Zest BBQ Pork Ribs

OK it's been awhile since I have posted, and honestly this is so good I totally forgot to take a picture of the ribs or the steps to cooking them but this is an easy one. Luckily there was about half a rib left so I can show you what the finished and devoured product looks like LOL

2 very thick cut boneless bbq ribs (or 4 smaller ones)
1 tbs Chicken seasoning
1/2 tbs Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
1/2 tbs Smoked paprika
1-2 tbs oil\
Your favorite BBQ sauce, I use about 1/2 a cup you can use less or more depending on your tastes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Rub the ribs down with the oil and then sprinkle evenly with spice and rub in.
Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 mins
Flip over and slather in BBQ sauce. Place back in oven for 20 mins. Let rest for 5 mins before cutting into.

Cheesy Taco Hashbrown Casserole

 This is a fast and delicious recipe! Easy to do just follow along!

You will need:

1 package of thawed shredded hashbrowns. I use the Simply Potatoes brand since it is gluten free.
1/4 cup of salsa chunky style
1/4 cup of sourcream
1 jar of cheddar sauce. I used Ragu double cheddar
1 lb of beef taco meat. This is just prepackaged diced up skirt steak, you should be able to find in the stores meat section.
1/4 cup of taco seasoning. I used McCormick.
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
3 green onions diced, green part only.

Make sure to preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Grease a medium sized casserole dish. I dont have one so I used my heartshaped cake pan.

Mix the hashbrowns, cheese sauce, sourcream, and salsa together

It should be well blended and look something like this.

Add the taco meat to a heated pan and dump in your taco seasoning. Brown.

Drain and add the taco meat to the cheesy hashbrown mixture. Mix well.

Pour it into your greased pan and smooth it over. Bake for about 20 mins or until it looks like below.

Now its time to top it with the shredded cheese and green onions. Bake for another 10-15 mins.

Voila! You are done! Let it set for about 5 mins and serve! You can top it with any taco toppings you like or eat it as is.
