Dish dish

Had a craving, needed to have lunch. I was happy to discover that I had most of the ingredients, just didn’t have American or Monterey Jack cheese. I used a 4-cheese Mexican blend. Don’t. It’s not melty enough so the dip was flavorful but very thick.

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 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.

My wonderful husband surprised me with this dish tonight for dinner. Fan-freaking-tastic. Serves 4, you can do this with a broiler or on the grill. If sodium is a concern, I’d probably not try this one.

Okay, not food related. But fun.
