Sooo...

I've been a bit distracted lately to say the least.... My favorite person in the world finally came back from China after being gone for ten ugly horrible weeks, and he gave me a real nice gift when he got back...

Hopefully coming down from this high will get my culinary juices flowing. No guarantees though, and no guarantees that this won't turn into a wedding planning blog either.  =D

Ideas...

I lack them. Any requests or recipes you'd like to see?

Comment if you do! Otherwise I may just go AWOL for a while till I'm inspired...

Greek Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

- Fresh baby spinach

- Grape tomatoes

- Cucumber

-Black/Kalamata olives

- Feta Cheese

- Chicken breast

Dressing:

- Olive oil

- White wine vinegar

- Dried oregano

- Dash of salt

- Dash of sugar

Chicken Rub:

- Course salt

- Freshly ground pepper

- Dried oregano

- Dried parsley

Mix the rub together (which about equal proportions of each spice) and coat chicken breast. Let sit while your grill heats up. Mix together the ingredients for the dressing, and whisk until it combines. It should actually turn slightly creamy-looking; add more sugar and salt to taste.

Grill the chicken breast. While that's cooking, wash and cut your vegetables. I sliced the grape tomatoes width-wise, and they are SO much easier to pick up with a fork! I also sliced the olives length-wise in quarters, which gave it a different look that I liked. 

Once the chicken is done, slice to a desired size, and toss everything together. Serve immediately. 

Purely Decadent

So I unfortunately discovered this at Wegman's the other day... The good news is that it is dairy free and all natural; the bad news is... it costs money and there is lots of natural saturated fat from the coconut milk. But some things are just worth it, right?
