I’m not going back to school.
That would be strange and not good.
Grade school, college, and grad school was enough for me, but congrats to all the kids (and their parents) braving the start of the year! I’m here for you in spirit… and in taking the strange but goodness to school.
If I was going back to school or sending a kid to school, here are 10 Back-to-School Recipes I would make.

Vegas claims not to like leftovers.
Both of us used to compete basically constantly ate leftovers.
At the prime of my meal prep, I was eating leftovers 7 meals a day, 7 days a week. I got used to it. Vegas got sick of it. She claims not to like leftovers.
Until I put them in front of her…

It’s pretty hot and humid right now in San Diego.
Feels like my Atlanta hometown!
We’ve had hot soup since Vegas has had a cold, but in the middle of the day there’s no way I could stomach it. I thought of making tomato gazpacho, but I had half a watermelon in the fridge that needed to be used. My gazpacho took a strange (but REALLY good) twist and went tropical.

Soup in August?
When you’re sick, that’s a must.
The recipe I’m going to share today is for a hot soup often referred to as Jewish Penicillin… with my own special twist. It’s a roasted Garlic Matzo Ball Chicken Soup.
Vegas caught a summer cold. How you can get a cold in the summer, I have no idea… but it happens to me about once a year. And apparently to Vegas. I decided to cure her with a big bowl of Matzo Ball Chicken Soup.

It’s not secret Italy is my favorite place in the world.
I could move to wine heaven.
When it comes to the combination of history and cuisine, there are few places in the world that provide the type of high quality dishes and sightseeing that Rome does. From Michelangelo’s ceiling in the Sistine Chapel and the Gladiator lore of the Colosseum, to the local eateries and the world-renowned restaurants, weekend breaks to Rome provide something for everyone. I first went when I was 15 and I think my jaw hit the floor and stayed there the whole trip!
If you’re looking for a tasty get away to Rome, here are some of the city’s best dishes.

S’mores don’t have to wait for dessert.
What ISN’T good in pancake form?
I still had graham crackers and marshmallows leftover from my S’mores Brownies… I had to use them some how! Why not create a pancake breakfast? Don’t S’mores Protein Pancakes sound divine?!
Maybe it’s a little strange to have a campfire dessert first thing in the morning, but it sure is good!

I’m a snack junkie.
If I’m honest I’d rather snack and have a meal.
If you’re a snacker like me, you can imagine my excitement when I received a GIANT box of jerky from Jack Link’s. Turkey jerky, teriyaki turkey jerky, chicken jerky… it is basically outdoor snacking deliciousness.
And by outdoors, I don’t just mean sports (though Vegas and my favorite softball snack is jerky).
