My dinner tonight was really good. I roasted some asparagus and cooked up some chicken. I prepped the chicken on Saturday and it has been soaking in a marinade ever since. That marinade has jalapeno mustard, lime juice, lime zest, and some olive oil. Oh, this was good.

Battle Bacon
I’m watching Iron Chef America on the Food Network, and tonight it’s Battle Bacon! I never know where these guys come up with their ideas. I do hope Bobby Flay wins. Tomorrow’s lunch is ready to go. I cooked up the rosemary-lime-mustard chicken and put it over a bed of rice. There are four chicken… Continue reading Battle Bacon

This is quite possibly one of my favorite cocktails. It’s light, refreshing, and outright tastey. And they’re so easy to make. It’s… Continue reading Mojitos

Well, they were already in a zipper bag from the freezer, so I coarsely chopped some garlic, added some… Continue reading Beer Brined Steaks
