My friend has been raving about Pompilio's in Newport for a couple months now. She said she loved the small local feel of the restaurant and really enjoyed her meals that she has had here. I do love Italian, so when my husband was recently craving Italian, I suggested we give it a try.
Pompilio's is located in the small neighborhood of Newport, KY and there is a location in Girls Who Grubhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08900953336201172471noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462275377008887308.post-76356197667607288012012-05-25T10:24:00.002-04:002012-05-25T10:24:17.487-04:00Recipe: Chipotle Chicken SaladOnce again, I was inspired by Pinterest for this recipe. I love anything with corn and black beans, so I knew I would like this salad. It's great for this time of year with tomatoes, corn, and some chicken from the grill. I have made salad very similar to this before; however, I tried a new dressing recipe that I got from the Nutmeg Notebook website.

I wanted to make something that people could just pick up and eat and something new. I immediately turned to the new favorite, Pinterest, for some inspiration.
I have to say, I was pretty impressed with these overall. They turned out fantastic!

I made it on a week night and immediately after making it, I had gone to my computer to write up this post, but it somehow got deleted, so I'm writing it again!
This recipe was actually in an ad for Al Fresco Sweet Apple Chicken Sausage.

Big thanks to my sister, Kelley, today for sharing her great recipe for Pretzel Buckeyes. She was nice enough to give one to me yesterday and it was delicious! I loved the mix of chocolate, peanut butter, and salt. These are definitely a crowd pleaser :)

I'm always looking for new recipes to try. I like to keep it healthy and low-calorie so I can pack them in my lunches throughout the week.
