Lemon Juice Margarita

I have been craving a summery margarita, but I didn’t have any limes or limeade in my kitchen. I did, however, have lemon juice. So after some experimentation (quite fun!), I came up with this.

Homemade Chunky Marinara

Last night I found myself wanting pasta with my baked chicken, so I scrounged through the cupboards and the fridge to see what kind of sauce I could make. There was a big can of tomato sauce I bought on sale recently and several veggies. Chunky marinara it was!

Just so you know–this should cook for AT LEAST three hours, so don’t start it when you get hungry.

S'mores on the Grill

This is not my recipe, so I thank my friend Blake’s wife for an idea that I can try, and which fits with my grand plan here at the blog. Yes, I will have to buy these ingredients (because I don’t keep sugary things in the house), but it’s a simple recipe with few ingredients and easy to explain to just about anyone.

Baked Chicken Sandwich

I love a good chicken salad sandwich, but there is only one chicken breast sandwich out there in the world of food that I think is worth eating–the plain Jane Chic-Fil-A standard. What is it that makes that sandwich special? Well, it’s the pickles and something else–a spice in the batter perhaps?–but I’ve come up with a baked chicken version that made me pretty happy the other day.

In the freezer–leftover sesame seed sourdough hamburger buns and a package with two remaining boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

Rainy Days and Mondays...

Well, surprisingly, we are having both in New Mexico. And wouldn’t you know it, I watered the garden today.
