Chicken Fajita Marinade Mix

April 29, 2014 by Kay 1 Comment

Chicken Fajita Marinade Mix is my go to marinade for fajitas and much more.

To continue with my Mexican inspired recipe week, here is my recipe for Chicken Fajita Marinade Mix. The strong flavors in this marinade are chili powder and lime, the perfect flavor to marinade chicken breasts in for fajitas.

It is important to plan ahead if you use this marinade, as the chicken needs to marinade for a minimum of 3 hours. Trust me, it’s worth the wait. The chicken will be more tender and juicy.

You certainly don’t need to use this marinade just for fajitas, you can easily just grill the chicken and serve it on a salad, by itself with a fresh salsa served along side or in Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Enjoy!

Homemade Taco Seasoning uses every day spices, can be whipped up in minutes, stores well and can be used in many recipes.

Cinco de Mayo is next Monday, May 5th. I thought I would dedicate this week to Mexican recipes.

First up is my recipe for Homemade Taco Seasoning. I know you are probably thinking it’s just as easy to buy taco seasoning at the grocery store but I will tell you Homemade Taco Seasoning has NO MSG, store bought does. No one likes MSG, but it is out there in a lot of items at the grocery store. Here is a simple way to cut back on MSG.

I love Mexican food, I hope you enjoy the recipes I will share this week.

Honey Balsamic BBQ Sauce

Balsamic vinegar is cooked down to a thick syrup and is added to honey, barbeque sauce and brown sugar to become a flavorful sauce that can be used on meatballs, chicken or pork chops.

This sauce has a lot of complex layers that come alive in your mouth. If you are looking for a kicked up BBQ sauce, try Honey Balsamic BBQ Sauce, you won’t be disappointed.

I love this sauce on my recipe for Herb Meatballs.

Kale Pesto

March 16, 2014 by Kay 4 Comments

Kale Pesto is a nutrient filled sauce that is very versatile for cooking. It can be used with pasta or rice, meat or poultry, on pizza, bread or burgers. The possibilities are endless.

Pesto is basically made up of 4 ingredients (plus salt & pepper), you need a green, nuts, cheese and olive oil. My favorite greens to use are basil, spinach, kale and garlic scapes. For nuts, I like pine nuts, almonds, cashews or pecans. For cheese I always use parmesan and I always use olive oil.

This takes seconds to mix up and you have a fresh, deeply flavored sauce that will kick your taste buds into high gear.

Add the kale, cheese, nuts and olive oil into a food processor.

Pulse to combine.

Add pesto to your favorite recipe like pasta.

Enjoy!
