Last night I was by myself so I made a salad from my Company's Coming cookbook - romaine, cukes, tomatoes, red onion, black beans and avocado tossed with a home made jalapeno dressing. I am having more for lunch today!!!

Tonight I am going to be by myself again so I am making something hubby doesn't like - coconut crusted chicken breasts with mango mint salsa. It's from Chef Michael Smith and is TO DIE for.

Ask and ye shall receive

Jalepeno Dressing
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 Tbsp Lemon juice
1 1/2 Tbsp Chopped jalapeno pepper, seeds and ribs removed
1 1/2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp Liquid honey
1/4-1/2 Tsp Chili powder

Process ingredients in blender until smooth (I actually just chopped the jalapeno and cilantro finely and shook everything together in my salad dressing making bottle). Makes about 1/3 of a cup of Dressing.
Note: wear gloves when chopping jalapeno peppers and avoid touching your eyes.

No joke. I learned that the hard way the first time I worked with peppers. I did all my chopping, had dinner, and later went to get ready for bed. When I went to take my contacts out I felt a pretty good twinge from the capsaicin but didn't think a whole lot about it. Weeellllll the next morning when I put my contacts in.... Holy mother of God!!! The capsaicin - a lot of it - had stuck to the contacts. Once I figured that out my eyes were swollen to the point that I had to pry my contacts out but the damage was done - it was in my eyes. I walked around crying for half the day.

Thanks for sharing!!!

I have no clue what's for dinner tonight.

Although I am craving some home-made chicken enchiladas!

2nd_t!me iz_best

lots of women complain of too much meat.

I'mInLoveWithMyHubby

I just threw in a bone in ham! Yum! I'll make potatoes of some sort, corn and salad with the ham.

That means tomorrow I make homemade black bean soup. Even better! Homemade buns go great with this soup. Kids will have a honey white bread bun and I make 100% whole wheat for hubs and I. Big cooking day tomorrow.(will take all day)

southern wife

What time should we be there for dinner?
