Tomorrow I’ll continue my month of ice cream with one of my favorite ice creams ever, but I couldn’t wait to share some grill recipes for this Fourth of July weekend. Beer can chicken, grilled potato salad, grilled sweet corn and grilled peaches – an entire meal from the grill! Wishing you a safe, fun … Continue reading Grillin’ for the Fourth!
Tonight I spent almost two hours grinding almonds into almond meal for a flourless orange cake I’m planning to make tomorrow. What was I thinking?! The good news is that I didn’t have to do much work for tonight’s dinner. I slow cooked the chicken for these chicken tacos so it was very easy to … Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Tacos

After being in the house all day, we (actually Josue) contemplated going out, but we (actually I) decided we should not spend the money. But then…what to cook? Josue suggested pasta so I decided … Continue reading Chicken Parmesan

However, since then, my husband and I have made a lot of Indian friends, we’ve eaten with them and we have grown to … Continue reading Chicken Tikka Masala
