Good (Food) Reads

It’s Wednesday and time for another Good (Food) Reads, the weekly post where we highlight recipes and foodie articles from around the internet. There’s a whole lot of goodness out there on the web this week so let’s dive right in, shall we?

Skillet Chicken with Tomatoes, Pancetta, and Mozzarella. I’m a sucker for anything with pancetta and ooey-gooey bocconcini so this recipe will be happening in my house ASAP. Plus, I love any excuse to use my Le Creuset cast iron skillet!

My husband hates tomatoes so I stockpile tomato recipes for those nights when I’m eating solo. I think this Tomato and Basil Risotto will be next up on my solo-cooking list! Yum.

Speaking of skillets, I’m super excited to try these Summer Vegetable Skillet Enchiladas. I’m thinking they’re just the answer for this coming Meatless Monday!

As grilling season continues to heat up, I am looking forward to trying these Maple Balsamic Chicken and Bacon Skewers. A step up from standard BBQ fare, for sure. I’m also intrigued by these Balsamic Honey Chicken Peach Skewers.

Chocolate Banana Nut Crunch Cupcakes. Because I can only be virtuous in my diet for so long.

Right now I can’t stop eating ALL. OF. THE. WATERMELON. It’s a real problem. Camille Styles rounds up 20 great watermelon recipes for any of you out there having the same issue I am!

I’m also loving pineapple these days. YummyMummy has a recipe for Vegan Pineapple Ice Cream that I can’t wait to try, right after I make up a batch of this Super Quick Raspberry Ice Cream. Can you tell I’m all about fruit and dessert these days?

Lane and I recently attended a spectacular dinner party which included the best dates as an appetizer. Those were savory – covered in a blue cheese sauce and wrapped in bacon (SO GOOD) – but these dessert style Almond Joy Dates sound just as fantastic.
