We had company last night, and I wanted to make the potato spears with cilantro-lime mayo that mom and dad make - so good!
Then, I noticed it was linked to a recipe for tortilla chicken legs that looked fun!
Well, I don't like putting crumbs over skin, so I decided to do pounded out chicken breasts.
Then, the reviews said it wasn't very flavorful, so I decided to go ahead and make lemon chicken and use the tortilla crumb breading.
Also to boost the flavor, I heaped the cumin and chili powder, but also added oregano (since it was already in the potatoes), a little Columbia seasoning (essentially seasoning salt, but from the Columbia restaurant mom and dad went to with us) (for the onion and garlic savoriness), cayenne for spice, and ground mustard, for tang. Just pinches of each. Well, it was SOOO good! So good, that I thought I would share. The cilantro lime mayo was great on the chicken too!
We had it with green beans and multigrain dinner bread, but it would have been awesome with jalapeno cornbread, too.
Finally, we topped it off with red velvet cake a la Bakerella, which was very good! I'd never really had red velvet before, so it was a new experience that I wanted to try. And let me tell you, it looked exactly like the picture - I couldn't believe it! And it wasn't dry like most scratch cakes I've tried - nope, moist and small, even crumb, just like box cakes!
Much love to all of you!
Keep praying for us on the job search - we're getting some response, but still fairly early in the processes, and hoping one of the WA/OR opportunities will work out!

ReplyDeleteWow that sounds good. I can feel my arteries harden as I read it. I may have to pass on it though. Except for the cilantro-lime mayo dip. It is good on Everything. Love ya ~Dad~
ReplyDeleteActually, olive oil should be really good for you - raising your good cholesterol and lowering the bad. If you use those multigrain chips they have the right kind of fat, too. And canola oil mayo is that same kind - look for MONOunsaturated fats, with just barely any saturated or polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated is your friend! That takes care of the chicken, potatoes, and dip. Then use canola oil in the cake, and half whole wheat pastry flour, and, um, well, you'll have to work on the cream cheese frosting issue...but everything else is taken care of!
