Yummy NEW Dinner Idea!!!

As you can tell from the new abundance of posts I have been able to commit to, life without a job is a lonely and dull one at that. I know one will come eventually, hopefully my dream job that I have been anxiously awaiting, but in the meantime, I've been racking my brain for some new, creative dinner ideas.  I want Mike to come home to something warm from the oven, (or at least be able to reheat in the toaster oven :).

My new favorite thing right now, are the Sweet Potato Puffs from the Alexia Frozen Food line. They are absolutely awesome! Just like real tater tots but better because they are SWEET POTATO, and you can bake them right from the freezer in only 15 minutes. Crunchy, sweet, slightly salty...okay I'll stop writing a TV advertisement for them and just explain the recipe I came up with.

Sometimes they are hard to find, but keep looking...they are out there.

When Mike and I first starting scoping out the grocery stores in Dallas, we had a very hard time finding a place that carried the sweet puffs, but luckily, (phew) we found some.

My first thought was to make some sort of casserole, incorporating veggies and the rotisserie chicken I recently bought. However, I was also in the mood for some sort of eggy frittata, so why not incorporate both? 

All the ingredients for this awesome dish, plus my gummy vita-bears in the background.

Sweet Potato Puff Casserole

• 9x9 non stick pan
• 30-35 Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs (slice them in half while frozen)
• 1 1/2 cups Egg Whites 
• 1 Plain Chobani Greek yogurt
• 4 slices Oscar Meyer Turkey Bacon (nuke it for 3 minutes to crisp up)
• Handful of Matchstick Carrots (just throw em in there, can't hurt and they are veggies :)
• 1/4 cup skim shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• However much Rotisserie Chicken you want to eat

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Grab a medium bowl, combine egg whites, and Chobani and whisk together till frothy. Add the carrots, chicken, and any blend of seasonings you want. Tonight I used dried mustard, cumin, seasoning salt, chili powder, and ginger. About a teaspoon of each, give or take. Pour egg mixture into pan, sprinkle cheese on top of the egg mixture. Crumble turkey bacon to you liking and arrange on top of cheese. Lay the Puff halves with the flat side down until you cover the entire dish and spray the top with a couple mists of olive oil spray. Pop in the over for about 35-40 min and enjoy!!!

Holy YUUUMM!

I was super stoked it came out, and tasted great!

I know I'm happy!

So is Monkey because he snuck a piece of chicken when I wasn't looking :( rotten kitty. Now I'm off to catch up on some intellectually, thought provoking, reality TV that is BRAVO! Oh, and you know I have some fro-yo waiting for me later :)
