@Kathryn: Thanks for the list. I'll definitely be researching the places you've mentioned.

Boring, Bland Chicken. Help!

oh, you could also caramelize some onions - butter, medium heat, one or two finely sliced onions cooked for about 20 minutes over medium-low heat. once those are done, saute some chicken with spinach and make yourself a sandwich or wrap with your choice of provolone or mozzarella even feta cheese. i love broccoli, diced chicken and feta mixed with orzo also.

Boring, Bland Chicken. Help!

i would do chicken rubbed with oil, some minced garlic and a mixture of herbs. saute it or roast it with some greens- kale, spinach, broccoli,etc and a starch - maybe roasted carrots with honey, roasted potatoes mixed with some lemon juice and greek yogurt or just seasoned with pepper and more herbs, bulgur. if you want, you could try mashing some beans- black/pink/pinto, with some finely chopped peppers and onions and seasonings like cumin, coriander, crushed red pepper, chili powder and throw in maybe an egg white and leftover rice or low sodium,crushed tortilla chips and make a burger. serve with your choice of side. tofu's a great meat sub too, just season it however you like. i love to do a saute of minced pepper, onion, and garlic mixed with diced butternut squash, a tablespoon or two of organic tomato paste and light pink beans with about 2 cups of water. let that cook down and serve with either saffron rice or plain white rice and you've got yourself a meal. need more protein? throw in a pan fried egg and serve it over the rice.
if you can find low sodium chicken sausage, theyre great too. only a small amount of fat and they go with just about anything - in wraps, with pasta, greens, the possibilities are endless.

Got roasted peppers. Need inspiration.

Add on: you could also mix it with some rice with some grilled corn and chicken added in or whatever other vegetables you might like.

Puree them with some cilantro, garlic,corn oil, almonds, salt, crushed red pepper. You'd have a pesto-like sauce that you can spread over some grilled chicken, pasta, in a tortilla or wrap.

How Do You Like Your Cheesecake?

Junior's Strawberry Cheesecake in downtown Brooklyn is at the top of my list. When I can't get there, my girlfriend makes her own version that is equally delicious.

Pimento cheese...what's your best recipe?

If you're looking for a "light" recipe, here's mine:

3/4 c of Hellmann's light mayonnaise
2 c of Kraft or Cracker Barrell's 2% Shredded Cheddar
1/4 jar of roasted red peppers, minced
1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper
Couple Grinds of Black Pepper
Pinch of Salt

Place all your ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine.
