Mexican Chicken

mexican chicken recipe

My mom used to make us something like this Mexican chicken when we were kids.  It is not really Mexican, but is what we called it when she made it.  I loved when she made this dinner for us, and now my kids love it when I make it for them.  I remember that the recipe came from a class cookbook that my sister brought home from school.  I have no idea where the book is now, and I have no idea if this recipe is even close, but what I do know, is that my family loves this dinner.  I sort of … [Read more...]

brown sugar and balsamic crock pot pork recipe

I saw this recipe bouncing around on my beloved Pinterest, and knew that I had to try it.  I love anything with brown sugar and balsamic vinegar.  I am so glad that I did.  I cannot think of an easier, more perfect meal for the crazy first days of school.  The pork cooks in a slow cooker with some salt, pepper, crushed garlic, and ground sage with a little water for 6 to 8 hours.  A hour before it is done, you make a super quick glaze, pour half over the roast and serve the remaining glaze … [Read more...]

Fish Tacos

fish taco recipe

I have fallen in love with fish tacos.  Specifically, these fish tacos.  I used to think that I did not like fish tacos.  I am not a fan of fried fish, so the fried fish taco never appealed to me.  The grilled fish tacos I have had were okay, but not inspiring enough to order them again.  Then two things happened:  Gwyneth Paltrow and Lent.  This was my first year observing Lent and the "no meat on Friday" rule made me rediscover that I love fish.  I also love (I have a girl crush gp, I … [Read more...]
