Posole Recipe - Every Day with Rachael Ray

This is a must try on a gloomy day like we are having today

Hawaiian BBQ Teriyaki Chicken

Last night I was prepping the steaks to be bbq'd.

I was marinating them in Teriyaki sauce.

I had some chicken breast out as well and thought I could toss something together and have the left overs for lunches.

I pounded out two breast and placed a lean slice of deli ham, slice of low fat swiss cheese and a half slice of pineapple in the middle and rolled up the edges and secured with two toothpicks.

I placed the chicken in the marinate as well.

My dear husband bbq'd them up and OMG they were so good.

I would highly recommend you trying them that way.

They were gone in a split second so I was not able to take a picture to post LOL

Cashew Oat Milk with cinnamon and agave

I love trying new things.

I'll head to trader joes to get my raw cashews and other fixins to make other goodies for some friends.

Once I'm back I'll have to prep for this lovely cashew oat milk.

I'll keep you posted on how I like it, I'm sure I'll love it.

Lemon Cake w/ Butter Cream frosting drizzled with Lemon Glaze

I found a recipe that I wanted to try out from Sunshine and Carousels She also found this recipe from the Food Networks Ina Garten Who I just adore.

The cake comes out like a pound cake which isn't too sweet. The pairing of the butter cream frosting works well. I made a white lemon butter cream and a made a yellow lemon butter cream. I pipped the two colors together and drizzled the cupakes with a lemon glaze.

Recipe for cupcakes:

* 1 stick of soften butter (1/2 a cup)
* 2 cups sugar
* 4 extra-large eggs
* 3 tablespoons cup grated lemon zest
* 2 cups of flour
* 1 cup of cake flower
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 3/4 cup of milk (whole)
* 1 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Cream the butter and sugar together until smooth.

Add one egg at a time and then your lemon zest.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup lemon juice, the milk, and vanilla.

Add the flour and milk mixture alternating each addition, beginning and ending with the flour.

Bake for 20-22 minutes.

Let cupcakes cool before icing.

For the frosting:

4 sticks of soften butter
1 block of soften cream cheese
1 two pound bag of powder sugar
lemon juice just enough to make it as thin or thick as you like.

I mixed all this together for about 3-5 minutes until it was very creamy.

I took about two cups of frosting out into another bowl and tinted it yellow.

Placed the yellow frosting into a small pipping bag with no tip.

Placed the white frosting into a small pipping bag with no tip.

I placed a pipping tip into a large pastry bag and placed both small filled pipping bags into the large and pipped the frosting onto the cupcakes.

For the glaze:

1/4 cup powdered sugar
enough lemon juice to make it thin
yellow food coloring

Mix well and set aside.

Once cupcakes are frosting drizzle the glaze over the cupcakes and place in fridge.

Enjoy

Citrus Chicken Salad

I came across this recipe and I can't remember for the life of me where I found it.

I made some grilled chicken last night and saved a grilled chicken breast for this recipe.

I diced it up into bite size pieces.
Juice from 3 limes but I used lemons because that is what I had handy.
1/2 cup coleslaw mix
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 kiwi's cut into bite size pieces
1/4 cup chopped red onion
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Lemon pepper to taste. You can use salt and pepper if you like.

Mix all together and chill til you are ready to eat. My container I brought to work was too small LOL I had the kiwi's here in my office so I diced them here and topped the salad.
