The title says everything you need to know. Say it slowly with me. Mango. Guacamole. Feel the words as they bounce from your lips. Mango. Sweet, light, tropical. Guacamole. Rich, creamy, delicious.

Broccoli Beef
Who knew homemade Chinese food was so simple and delicious? I'm a big fan of the little boxes take-out Chinese comes in, but I generally stick to chicken dishes when ordering out because the "steak" always looks a little off to me. I've had a hankerin' for some broccoli beef for a while now and… Continue reading Broccoli Beef
Ultimate Chicken Fingers
This week I had a couple extra chicken breasts defrosted and needed to do something with them. So I decided to give the munchkins a special treat and make chicken fingers for dinner. I don't know what magical property chicken fingers have - but it seems that every kid in the history of the universe… Continue reading Ultimate Chicken Fingers
Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
I was having a serious sugar craving today. Epic proportions. I actually considered heading to the garage to raid the hidden cauldron of leftover Halloween candy. What?

Aside from… Continue reading Baked Brown Sugar Garlic Chicken
Crock Pot Chicken Taco Chili

Cornmeal Biscuits
I've made cornbread lots of times. And, have a great recipe for big giant fluffy biscuits. But when I made a white chicken chili a couple of weeks ago I just didn't feel like either of those breads were going to be just right to serve up alongside the chili. I went searching for some… Continue reading Cornmeal Biscuits
