Football Epilogue

I tried out my cooking skills recently with these ad hoc chicken fajitas. It's so easy a guy like me can do it. The result was super delicious, so much so I made it twice. Once as the salad below and once using the romaine leaves as a wrap/taco shell.    1 Chicken Breast, thawed 1 tbsp. lemon or lime juice 3 Baby Bell Peppers, seeded and sliced into circles 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded to preference and sliced 1/2 White Onion, sliced to comparable chunks 1 tbsp minced garlic 2 splashes of oil salt & pepper Romaine lettuce Pico de gallo (I just went store-bought) 1/2 avocado 1 tbsp. sour cream (optional) Place chicken in a bowl, add a splash (1 to 2 tbsp) of oil, minced garlic, 1/2 tsp of salt and lemon juice. Mix to coat chicken and let sit. Heat second splash of oil in sautee pan and heat on medium. Once hot, add chicken (save the bowl for a moment) and brown for a couple minutes on each side. Remove chicken and cut length-wise into strips and recoat in bowl of seasoning. Pl...

Another home cooked meal. I might be getting the hang of this again. Last night it was some stir fried chicken and veggies with some "General Tso's" sauce over rice. The meal was rather tasty. For some reason it feels weird to eat these sorts of meals with a fork any more so I keep a supply of chopsticks handy.  Oh, and the Strawberries were good too :)

Chicken breast, pre-cooked wild rice, 1 cup water, poultry seasoning, parsley, minced onion, garlic salt, white and black pepper and some corn on the cobb. Delicious.

I'm liking this new crock pot. Tonight's dastardly concoction: an ad hoc Sun-dried tomato pesto chicken. Crock and shred 2 lbs boneless/skinless chicken breast Add 1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing/marinade 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato basil pesto  (I'll figure out with actual homemade tomatoes and pesto later) 6 to 10 fresh basil leaves 1 tbsp oregano mix it in, let it simmer, part it out, feed a nibble of chicken to your begging cat and voila! I think I'll have mine over veggies or cold on a salad, but would go well over pasta. Delicious.
