My mom has this favorite pizza that is a seasonal specialty at a fairly well known pizza chain known for their 'take-n-bake' style of doing business. Okay, okay... so it's one of my favorite pizzas too!
It's a simple enough pizza; thin crust, thai sweet chili sauce, red onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and chicken. It's light and perfect for the oncoming summer months...

Read MoreAs if these taquitos weren't amazing enough on their own and chalked full of veggies... add in this amazing avocado cream sauce and you will wonder how you ever lived without them.
Seriously. If you have a love for avocados like I do, you will soon be putting this light, cool, creamy avocado sauce on everything.
Currently, I'm the only one in the house that does love avocado, so I got to keep the whole bowl of it to myself all week long. Darn. I know. It's a hard job.... yep... but, someone has to do it...
Read MoreI pretty much gave up fried foods a few years back (with out really realizing it) and I can honestly say that I do not and have never owned a frier. I've just never needed one in all of my cooking-life.
Of course, I've not always found tasty and easy baking alternatives to fried treats. Faux frying can be a tricky thing. I have definitely come across my share of faux-fried mishaps and flub-ups. This is not one of those recipes. Oh, no. This is great stuff here...
