Mom's Spanish Rice

(1 reviews) Posted by GaylaV  

This is very close to the way my Mom made Spanish Rice. This dish was taken to every pot-luck we attended, not because it was what she wanted to take but it was what everyone asked her to bring. This is a very simple dish with only as much spice... MORE»

Weeknight Chicken and Noodles

(1 reviews) Posted by GaylaV  

I threw this dish together in minutes and we all liked it. It is one of those things you can play with a bit. If you don't have red pepper, use green. If you don't have fresh mushrooms, use canned. You get the idea. Feel free to spice this up more... MORE»

Avocado Salad

(9 reviews) Posted by GaylaV  

This salad was adapted from a recipe from Company's Coming. The avocado is the star but it mixes nicely with the vegetables and beans. Cut and add the avocado in just before you serve it so that it doesn't turn dark. The last 7 ingredients are the... MORE»

I have played around with marinades and come up with this one that leaves the chicken flavourful and juicy. I use skinless chicken breasts or thighs. I would also use it for pork chops. This makes enough for 3 or 4 large breasts. MORE»
