This is a really tasty Mexican inspired chicken that matches well with corn tortillas. I've blogged about it before. I served this with refried beans and guacamole. I was planning on grilling tonight, but we ran out of propane before I even got it preheated. The ...

We warmed up the grill for the first time this year, and celebrated with some nice little steaks, baked potatoes, and green salad. A nice meal to enjoy the warmer weather!

Chicken noodle soup tonight - I had a dentist appointment after work, so an easy to chew dinner was in order. Today I browned the butter a bit for more flavor, used leftover rotisserie chicken, used fiori instead of egg noodles, and used some fresh thyme since I had ...

I've posted this before, but the picture wasn't all that great, and as it's one of our stand-by easy meals, I figured it was worth re-posting :-) This is restaurant quality with very little fuss. I usually don't bother with the parsley, but it's a nice touch ...
