Now Reading..........

I have read several of Kristin Hannah's books. This book is pretty good so far. I am halfway through and enjoying it. My favorite Kristin Hannah book is "Firefly Lane". LOVED it! We'll see how this one goes............

Recipe Needed.....

A new Italian market opened up close by to us. I ventured in there yesterday to check it out. It was fabulous. I could have stayed all afternoon just admiring the cheeses!! I spotted a rustic chicken salad in the glass window and ordered a 1/4 pound just to give it a try. OMG....it was amazing! Pulled chicken, grapes, diced red peppers and onions and a bit of cilantro perhaps! The difference in this chicken salad was that there was NO mayonnaise. I could not make out the dressing. Light yet tangy and oh so fabulous. I really want this recipe or a similar version. It would be a summer must-have and I would be sure to take it to any picnic or barbecue!!! Any suggestions for the dressing would be much appreciated!!!!!!!!!
Cheers.................

Barbecue Chicken

Love barbecue chicken????? You need to try Lawry's new marinades. They are so delicious!!!
First we tried the Sesame Ginger with mandarin orange. So good...a little sweet and tangy...just perfect.




Next, we tried the Baja Chipotle with lime juice. So, so good. A bit on the spicy side but ok for the kids to eat!!! Our grill broke and we have yet to replace it. I put the complete bottle of marinade over the chicken in a roasting pan and baked it in the oven. It tasted like it came off the grill.


I promise, if you try it, you will not be disappointed!!!!
