I Call This The Holy Trinity Of Food Ingredients!

I kind of have this funny habit of turning everything into combinations of three. I don’t know where I got it from, but I remember doing it ever since I was a kid. I guess maybe it somehow helped me remember certain things, or maybe it’s just the fact that I like the number 3 so it was fun to incorporate it in everything I did. I guess it doesn’t make a lot of sense but let me try and explain!

For example, my favorite homemade skin scrub includes coconut oil, brown sugar and coffee crumbs. When I stop by a cafe I always order ice cream, coffee and water (leave any of these out and it just isn’t the same!) When I go to the library I always bring home 3 books; a detective story, an autobiography and a diy-something-guide.

Needless to say, I also love recipes that combine 3 main ingredients or flavors. In this case, lemon, chicken and spinach. Which is one of the reasons I immediately fell in love with this recipe. As soon as I saw this, I knew I was going to like it! And it didn’t disappoint!

Quick Tip: Use any kind of pasta for this dish.

The first time I ordered gnocchi, I had no idea that it was dumplings. I was under the impression that it was some rice like dish, but after ordering, my husband informed me that is risotto. What is it with all these fancy and weird names? Anyway, we were at an elegant restaurant and I did not want to cause a scene and reorder my food, so I just figured I would give it a go. Finding out it was potato based reassured me a little more because I knew I would enjoy it at least a little. When the food arrived, I was pleasantly surprised with the presentation. Then came the moment of truth.

I popped one into my mouth and as I chewed it up, I think I went to heaven and came back. This is the heavenliest dumpling dish I have ever tried. Full of cheesy goodness, these are like little raviolis, but shaped prettier than that. Well, as soon as we got back home, I looked up how to make this at home and realized that these came frozen, so I got to work and created this. It is a soup with chicken some gnocchi inside… a variation of what I was served that evening at the beautiful restaurant.

Eaten plain this veggie might not be the most appealing, but when made cheesy gratin style it’ll be a new favorite in any household! Top it off with crispy salty bacon and it’ll steal the show at the dinner table. I promise even the pickiest eaters will love this creamy spinach side dish and gobble down those greens like you’ve never seen.

Make this side dish to compliment any meat and potato dinner for a quick and delicious way to sneak in those veggies. Take a quick gander at the ingredient list and you’ll notice you don’t need to go to the store for anything special. If swiss cheese isn’t on hand, feel free to substitute it for any other cheese you love. Cheddar? American? Yea that’ll work just fine!

These Are Going To Blow Your Mind

My family is a big fan of Hispanic food, especially taquitos. I try to buy the better quality ones from Trader Joe’s or Fresh and Easy, but sometimes I just get the freezer isle kind. I had never even tried making my own until I came across this recipe.

Somehow I always thought they’d be difficult to make or that they wouldn’t be so tasty. What drew me in was the cream cheese and chicken combo; I was very intrigued and was not disappointed at all. These are delicious and so creamy! They’re perfect for your next potluck or tailgate. It’s good to make these in double batches just to have some that can be re-heated for lunches. And you know these will only get better when re-heated!

This recipe turned into an instant success at our house, and I’m sure your family will fall in love with these taquitos, too. Let us know how yours turn out, and please share with all of your friends.
