Chef's Day Off #15

This week has been absolutely crazy. Not only am I going to work every day, I am also attending a professional development seminar all week as well. Translation: long days, lots of work, and not enough time to get it all done. So when a day off comes along, I take full advantage of it. This week, I'm just going to sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice slice of Mexican Chocolate Buttermilk Pound Cake from Joy over at Yesterfood. Simple and delicious. Now where did I put that remote???

Now it's your turn. Link up your recipes to inspire me for next week.

Chef's Day Off #14

This past week has been so crazy. The weekend brought temperatures in the 80s, but the forecast still shows snow!!! Looks like I need a nice warm dish to make it through another day off. The Chicken Marsala from Shauna at The Best Blog Recipes looks delicious. I mean, chicken, mushrooms, BACON, and sun dried tomatoes. You could serve it over gym socks and I would ask for seconds...

Now it's your turn. Link up your recipes to inspire me for next week.

Chef's Day Off #13

The best thing to do on a day off.....is nothing. I love being a able to sit back, relax, and catch up on my DVR. This week's featured dish is perfect for that. The Pineapple Chicken from Danielle over at Peanut Life Adventures combines simplicity with fantastic flavors. And the best part, ten minutes of prep followed by eight hours in a crock-pot leaves plenty of time for relaxation. Perfect day off dinner fare.....

Chef's Day Off #12

This week's featured recipe on Chef's Day Off comes from Heidi over at A Week From Thursday. Her Cranberry Orange Donuts looks delicious, and a great breakfast treat on a cold dreary day here in Eastern Nebraska. Looks like we might dodge the snow (unlike our neighbors to the west), but we could really go for a sunny day in the 60s. At least we need the rain.....

Chef's Day Off #11

This week's day off seemed like it was never going to get here. Although the weekend here in Nebraska was beautiful, now we are looking at rain and possibly snow this week. Seems like we are having a nice winter this spring. Oh well, I can always look forward to the weather actually warming up and being able to prepare this week's featured recipe from The Food Prepper. The Vegetable Garden Minestrone looks absolutely delicious. Perfect for a relaxing spring day (if they ever get here)!!!

Chef's Day Off #10

This week's day off could not come soon enough. Easter and my wife's birthday made for a very busy weekend, so it's time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some time off. Looking back over last week's recipes, one post just stuck out to both myself and my wife. The Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting from Diane's Vintage Zest look both easy to make and amazingly delicious. Perfect for a relaxing day!!!

Chef's Day Off #9

This week's featured recipe on Chef's Day Off comes from Evelyn over at My Turn (for us). Having lived in Texas for five years, I am very familiar with Tex-Mex food. Her Beer Braised Beef Taco Boats are the stuff Tex-Mex dreams are made of. Beef, roasted tomatoes, and beer....let's do this!!!!

Chef Day Off #8

This week's featured recipe on Chef's Day Off comes from Leia over at Latitude Adjustment.   Her Ham and Chicken Calzones remind me of one of our favorite foods--pizza. As she mentions in her post, a calzone is basically a stuffed pizza, and her recipe can be easily modified to suit individual tastes. Looks like today is a calzone day. Works for me!!!

Chef's Day Off #7

This week's featured recipe combines my wife's favorite ingredient (chocolate) with one of my favorites (chocolate), then stirs in those little chocolate mint candies. I could only be talking about the Triple Chocolate Mint Cupcake Squares from Pamela at Pamela's Heavenly Treats. These look absolutely delicious and so easy to make.

Chef's Day Off #6

For this week's day off, I feel like being lazy. Sometimes I just need to sit back, relax, and enjoy a little time with the family. But we still need to eat, so this Herb and Onion No Knead Bread from Joy over at Yesterfood is perfect for a lazy day. A few minutes mixing, 45 minutes of rising time (just long enough for an episode of Psych), and an hour in the oven (time for another episode) for made from scratch yeast bread. Sounds like a good day off to me.

Chef's Day Off #5

Another week has come and gone, and it's time for another day off. I look forward to these days because it means I can sit back and enjoy the tasty dishes coming out of other peoples kitchens. In our house we LOVE pasta, so this week we'll be enjoying some delicious Cavatelli with Chicken Sausage and Kale, thanks to Angela over at LeMoine Family Kitchen.

Chef's Day Off #4

It's Wednesday again, which means it's time for another day off. As we prepare for a little bit of snow here in the Central Plains, I was looking through the recipes posted up last week and one jumped out and grabbed my attention. These White Chocolate Macadamia Magic Bars from Kaylee over at Couponing and Cooking. These will taste absolutely amazing with a cup of coffee while watching the snow fall...and after shoveling out from under a huge pile of the white stuff.

Chef's Day Off #3

With the arrival of Wednesday, it's time to sit back, relax, and take the day off. Last week's recipes looked tasty, but one recipe just caught my eye (more specifically, my wife's eye). Thanks to Jovana over at Taste of August, we'll be enjoying some tasty Reese's Brownies with Peanut Butter Frosting.

Chef's Day Off #1

Every chef needs a day off. For me, that day off is Wednesday, but I still need to eat. That means on Wednesdays, I'm going to need your help figuring out what to have for dinner. Link up any recipe on your blog to inspire me on my day off. Since this is my first week taking the day off, I do not have a featured recipe. Starting next week, I will be featuring the recipe that catches my eye and inspires me the most.
