Go away snow!

February 24, 2010   
Today is very cold and snowy. I was pretty darn excited to see the snow start to melt, and then we get slammed with more of it! ugh I can not wait for spring!

On another note, I recently found a fellow college student who blogs & has her own Etsy shop! It's really exciting to find someone around here interested in those things. Not only do I love cooking but I love creating and crafting. It is just so hard being a full-time student to find time to do everything I want.
She was also kind enough to feature my blog link on her blog!
You can read about her creations here: http://artistic-elements.blogspot.com/
& check out what she has for sale in her etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/CalliesCreations

She makes very beautiful jewelry and even has step by step tutorials on how to make some pieces yourself! Be sure to stop by and have a peak!
(if anyone can show me how to put links on my page, so the website doesn't show up and you can click words to get to the site, I'd appreciate it! I am a huge novice when it comes to html.. if you can't tell! and I've tried some html codes that did not work.)

For lunch yesterday I made a quick and easy wrap for my boyfriend and I. Usually he likes big hearty sandwiches and meals but he loved this Chicken Caesar Wrap as much as I love it. I've been on a chicken caesar anything kick lately. It's just so good!


Easy Chicken Caesar Wrap (makes two wraps cut in half to make one!)


2 chicken breasts (cooked and chopped. You can pan sear them or bake them in the oven with a little bit of salt and pepper, Parmesan cheese, Caesar dressing, and garlic powder.
1 1/2 - 2 cups of romaine lettuce
1 big handful of croutons
Caesar dressing
2 big wraps, whatever flavor you like
2 handfuls of  shredded cheese (I used an Italian blend, so it had Parmesan cheese right in it)


Layer 1 tsp of dressing on wrap. Then layer chicken, lettuce, 1/2 the handful of croutons, and 1/2 of the cheese. Do this on each wrap. Drizzle with dressing. 
Fold wrap and serve! 
To fold the wrap I take both sides (the right and left) and fold them in. 
I then fold the bottom up over the filling and roll over so the seam is on the bottom.

I know most of my recipes are really simple and are not complicated at all. But the lifestyle I live right now only allows for that. Plus I love quick and easy meals and I love coming up with really simple recipes that anyone can make. A lot of my friends and some of my family don't cook often, so creating these easy recipes will help them feel more confident in the kitchen, at least I hope!

Stay warm if you are snowed in!
