Hug Me, I’m Half Irish. March 17, 2012 at 10:14 pm
I am, at most, half Irish. I’m adopted (and have no interest in speaking to my biological family…I know where they are, I know what they are), and don’t really know much of my heritage, but I was born a Kelly. So I consider myself half Irish. Considering I have pale skin, blue eyes, and ROCK red hair (when I keep up with my appointments), I think I even look the part. And I love Saint Patrick’s Day. Not just because Saint Patrick is the patron Saint of Ireland. Not just because he drove the snakes out of Ireland (I effing hate snakes). But because it is one of my favorite types of holiday. A feast day. Makes me think food, and food is good.

Not my recipe but… February 28, 2012 at 11:29 pm
This is not my recipe but it is the best freaking tomato sauce I have ever had. A little spicy but in a very, very good way. We had it on pizzas. Best pizza I have ever had.

Cilantro Lime Chicken with Queso Fresco January 22, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Cilantro lime chicken with queso fresco and jalapeno, kicked up succotash, and mashed yucky.
My husband has gotten into the habit of cooking basically on the fly. No recipes, just creating these amazing wonderful dishes. Me? I’ve always needed a recipe so I am totally jealous of this ability. The other night I got to thinking about chicken. It started out that I was going to cook the chicken with chiles in the oil, then add a slice of pepper jack cheese. Mike pushed me a little bit to think about it more. I remembered a salad dressing/marinade recipe on the box that came with our Good Seasonings salad dressing kit. Cilantro lime. Hmmm. I suggested using the cilantro lime marinade, then topping with the cheese and maybe some strips of chiles. My husband suggested queso fresco. Yes. Definitely. But what to have with it? I love succotash. Maybe add some red pepper. But it needs something more….Chorizo! Yes! My husband suggested a little onion as well, just for flavor. But what else? We need a starch. Why not mash up some yucca root? Use our standard mashed potato recipe but substitute yucca for the potatoes. Boom. A dinner plan without a recipe.
