Knockoff Spicy Jack Wedges

Who likes O'Charley's? Who doesn't like all the calories that come with a delicious, mouth-watering meal there? Me too and that is why I decided to experiment and create my own healthier version of my favorite Spicy Jack Wedges!

They're crispy, spicy and healthier than the deep-fried counterpart!

Ingredients:
1 large egg
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 8-ounce package of pepper jack cheese
dash of red pepper/paprika

Directions:
1. Crack egg into a bowl and whisk, slice cheese into eight one-ounce slices and then cut diagonally so that each one-ounce slice is now consistent of two diagonal pieces. Thus the entire eight ounce package yields 16 wedges. Dip each wedge in the egg mixture.

2. In a separate bowl mix 1/3 cup of bread crumbs and your seasonings. Remove wedges from egg mixture and coat with bread crumbs.

3. Spray a cooking sheet and line each wedge on the sheet.

4. Cook on broil (4-6 inches from heat) for 5 minutes or until the wedges turn golden.

Notes: It is super hard to keep the cheese from baking out of the coating. I think these do taste great, but nothing can replace O'Charley's spicy jack wedges. These are a great replacement though! 

My Little Red Dress

Nick and I went a different route this Valentine's Day. Last year he showered me with gifts and I cooked him dinner, but this year we had some cheese, wine and went to dinner at our favorite restaurant. It was the first place we actually went for dinner together and Valentine's night is a must.     

I really liked the dress I wore on Valentine's Day for three reasons. 

1) It was TEN sizes smaller than what I was wearing before my weight loss 

2) I wanted a sexier red dress 

3) The back was really cute and I have a picture to prove it. 

Hope your Valentine's Day, whether in a relationship, married or single, was worth while and a day to remember.
