Bacon & Asparagus Breakfast Pizza Recipe

This is a unique and delicious breakfast or holiday brunch recipe! Plus, who doesn't love pizza anytime of day? 

I'm always game for trying and experimenting with new breakfast recipes. Since I didn't have a breakfast pizza recipe yet, I knew that would have to be the next thing to try! I picked up some Pecan Rubbed Bacon from my local meat market, Manea's Meats in Sauk Rapids, MN and decided to fry it up and use it on this pizza. 

Fantastic Fish Tacos Recipe... Made with Pollock... Surprise Recipe Swap!

 I was super excited to participate in the Surprise Recipe Swap again this month! Thanks to Jutta from Hungry Little Girl for setting up this fun swap with a whole group of great bloggers!

I was even more excited to find out that my assigned blog for this month is Bobbi's Kozy Kitchen! I've been following Bobbi for such a long time, and just love the recipes that she posts! You will have to stop by and check them out! Plan on getting lost in her recipes for awhile, I know I did!

After looking through Bobbi's recipes, I decided to try her Fantastic Fish Tacos! The sauce caught my eye and I just knew it was something I'd love! I made a few small changes within the recipe (changing the cheese and leaving out the coriander), but it still turned out absolutely delicious! I am so glad I tried this recipe and we will be making it again! 

Fantastic Fish Tacos Made With Pollock (print recipe)

What you need:

Fish:
4- 6 ounce white fish fillets ( I used pollock)
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
salt and pepper
olive oil
corn tortillas
cheddar cheese
shredded cabbage
tomatoes, diced

Sauce:
1/3 cup mayo
1/2 cup sour cream
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 ounces canned green chiles
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
salt

Directions:
In a food processor combine all of the sauce ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate until serving.

Set your oven on the low setting. Wrap the corn tortillas in aluminum foil and place in oven to warm. 

Remove the fish from the refrigerator. Pat dry on both sides. Season and rub both sides of the fish fillets with the cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the fish and cook on both sides for 3-4 minutes until fish is cooked through, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Remove the tortillas from the oven and fill with fish, cheese, cabbage, tomatoes and sauce!

Bacon, Spinach and Mushroom Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

This recipe is one of those Sunday dinner comfort foods! Hearty and delicious! 

Aaahhh mac and cheese! One of my favorite comfort foods! I don't make it very often, but when I do, I savor each and every bite. Well, we all know bacon makes everything better, so when I decided to add bacon, mushrooms and spinach to my usual mac and cheese recipe, I knew it would be out of this world! Thankfully I had a couple friends at my house to be my guinea pigs when I made this, and they loved it just as much as I did! What tops it all off, is a few dashes of hot sauce. This is sure to be a new favorite. Your welcome and enjoy ;)

Bacon, Spinach and Mushroom Macaroni and Cheese

by Sheena

6076207

Ingredients (9x13 pan)

• 2 1/2 cups elbow macaroni, cooked according to package directions
• 6 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup onion
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 8 ounces velveeta, cubed
• 1 1/2 cups shredded swiss cheese
• 8 ounces white mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach
• 8 ounces bacon, pre-cooked and chopped into bite sized pieces
• salt and pepper, as desired

Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and paprika and saute for 5 minutes. Add the flour, stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the milk, velveeta and swiss cheese. Heat until the cheese is completely melted, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile saute the mushrooms, baby spinach and cooked bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until spinach is wilted. There should be enough grease released from the bacon to saute.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Pour the cooked macaroni in the baking dish, adding the bacon, mushroom and spinach mixture on top of that, then pouring the cheese sauce over the top. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the top starts browning.
