Sausage and Fig Pizza

I have been drooling over this Sausage and Fig Pizza recipe from "A Kitchen on Elm Street" for a while! Last night was a perfect night for a fall pizza. I have never made anything with fresh figs so I was a little intimidated but they were the perfect sweet compliment to the smoky chicken sausage and fontina cheese! Visit Noelle's blog for a little kitchen inspiration! I'm excited to try her recipe for Salmon Salad with cilantro lime vinaigrette.

Grilled Guac Recipe

Check out this grilled guacamole recipe over at "the kitchn"! The grilled avocado's look beautiful- I can't even imagine what they taste like!

Cold = Comfort

Cold weather makes it so hard to eat healthy! Skiing = hot chocolate, watching football on Sundays= pizza and beer and coming home after a long day and taking the dog for a long much needed walk in the 7 degree temperatures does NOT make me crave a healthy salad. I found these healthy pizza recipes from Eating Well so get ready to curl up to a movie and graze! (Click on the images for recipes)
