Quick & Easy Chicken Dinner Pizza

We’re taking a quick break from the camping, quite literally, right now. Both virtually with this chicken dinner pizza, and physically because we’re at a Starbucks, enjoying some caffeine and free wifi. Mike’s busy catching up on work that he’s been desperately needing to do and I’m just catching up on the internets. Camp life sure is good for unwinding and strengthening our relationship, but maybe not so much for making money/productivity?

Speaking of productivity, if you’ve been too productive and have no idea what to make for dinner, maybe you’ll give this chicken dinner pizza a try? It’s awesome, especially if you actually had a chicken dinner the night before. I’m all about turning leftovers into bestovers and this pizza was pretty awesome.

Mike and I have a mutual love affair with with roasted chickens. When we first started dating, but weren’t really serious, he took me on a birthday picnic on a mountain. There wasn’t a picnic basket – instead there was a plastic grocery bag with a rotisserie chicken, potato salad and a baguette. Ever since then rotisserie chickens give me all the feels. We don’t always buy them on the regular, but when we do, we like to be super animal about it and just dig in, no utensils, kind of like how we did on that picnic oh so many years ago.

I don’t know why grocery store rotisserie chickens have a bad reputation, but to be honest, sometimes they’re just what you need. And, if you’re ever in France, they have amazing rotisseries that sell the most succulent, juicy chickens ever. So there’s no shame in rotisserie chickens. Because if the French do it, it’s totally okay! So, buy yourself a rotisserie chicken, have a delicious meal, and the next day, pop the leftovers on a pizza. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Especially if there’s ranch for dipping!
PS – I just scored a free sample of chocolate trifle while sitting here and writing this post! I love free samples – they’re the perfect size! SO happy right now :)
PPS – This is not a Starbucks sponsored post >_<

Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls

By
Smoked Salmon and Avocado Summer Rolls Happy Monday friends! Did you guys have a good one? We had a big ol’ Vietnamese eating and drinking party on Saturday. According to Mike, these parties are called “nhậu.” Basically a bunch of people get together, drink and consume massive amounts of beer snacks. It’s kind of like going to an izakaya in Japan, or maybe heading to the bar for happy hour, only we did it at home since there’s no such thing as a Vietnamese bar around here. Funny fact about that: almost all of the Vietnamese restaurants around here are unlicensed because some Vietnamese people get angry when they drink. Just so we’re clear, I have no idea if any of this is true, but considering this theory comes from Mike–who actually is Vietnamese–I’ll take his word for it. Plus, there’s  this pretty crazy video of some girls throwing down in a pho restaurant  that kinda sorta supports his hypothesis. No word ...

Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich

By
Sunday Brunch with BAE: Bacon Avocado Egg Sandwich I’m a huge fan of breakfast sandwiches, not that I actually eat them at breakfast. I actually fail at adulting because I don’t do breakfast, except for coffee and sometimes medium-soft boiled eggs. Usually, Mike and I will have something around 10 or 11, or even just start our day with lunch. It’s not that we wake up really late – on the contrary, Mike gets up insanely early (around 6) and I wake up between 7 and 8. I’m not quite sure when I started not eating breakfast on the regular because I have really vivid memories of eating cereal as a kid. It was always Corn Pops or Cocoa Pebbles. As a teen I’d make myself a slice of dry white toast to eat while walking to school. Somehow breakfast eating fell along the wayside. But, I’m pretty sure I can get into eating breakfast on the regular, especially if these breakfast sandwiches were on the menu. I mean, you really can’t go wrong with bacon, egg, and avo...

Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Pudding Pops Recipe

Carrot Cake Cream Cheese Pudding Pops Recipe Creamy cheesecake pudding pops with chunks of fluffy carrot cake! Creamy, cold, sweet and cake-y, the best of all worlds :) There’s a very popular ice cream shop here in town that I felt never really lived up to the hype. There would be lines out the door, but the one time I tried something, it was icy and bland. After that I swore, never again. But then, they opened up a second location and Mike and I would walk by almost everyday. One sunny day, when there was magically no line, we popped in to take a look at the flavors. Carrot cake immediately called out to me. I mean,  I love carrot cake . I had a taste, was sold, and was the happy new owner of a very addictive  waffle cone full of creamy ice cream with fluffy chunks of carrot cake and cream cheese icing . It was so good that I was sad when it was over. Because, the truth is, it was over for good. I’ve been back so many times looking for carrot cake, but they ...
