Salted Caramel Mini Cheesecakes

I have lists of recipes I want to make, kind of like my Netflix queue.  I find new ones I'm excited about and add them to the list, then occasionally I go through the list, re-prioritize, and delete some, and sometimes I get hung-up on themes--like cupcakes!  And sometimes the theme is more specific, like cheesecake.

Chili Tortellini

I kind of love Tortellini as much as I love Ravioli.  I'm sure anyone can guess why.  They're pretty similar in really awesome ways.  You know, noodles stuffed with yummy surprises?  I found this recipe on Pinterst and was intrigued.  I've heard of putting  noodles in soup, but tortellini in chili?  Interesting.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Bake

I like Chicken Cordon Bleu, but I have an irrational fear of wrapped/stuffed meats.  Maybe not the meats themselves because that's a step past irrational and borderline insane, but my fear is of making them.  I don't pound meat, I don't wrap stuff in it, and I don't roll it either.  Since I believe all of this is required for actual Chicken Cordon Bleu, this recipe seemed ideal for a meat-pounding hater like me. :)

Ravioli with Italian Sausage and Fire-Roasted Tomatoes

On my first date with Matt he took me to a restaurant where I ordered Portobello Mushroom Ravioli in a cream sauce.  That should have been a warning to him.  This is a girl who likes her ravioli, whether it's of the Boyardee or the 3 cheese variety.  When I made this delectable ravioli recipe, Matt wasn't totally wild about it and I blame the 3 Cheese Ravioli.  And while blaming it, I also respect, honor and adore it.

Spinach Artichoke Pizza

This was so yummy!  Perfect treat for cheat night--and I have a LOT of cheat nights.  This was a creamy spinach artichoke dip on top of a pizza crust and eaten as a meal!  So much awesomeness in my mouth, I can't stand it.  Even the leftovers were yummy.  I ate it for 3 days in a row and it was great!  The pizza crust is never quite the same the next day, but who really eats crust anyway?  (Blasphemy, mom.  I know.)
