Menu Monday

Just a quick post to share my menu plans for this week. I will be blogging this week as promised with a recipe for my Thai Chicken Stir Fry that I made last week...I just have to find the time!
First, here is what I made for a quick dinner last night:

Grilled Chicken Tacos


Marinate your chicken for at least 30 min in:
3 Tbls Soy Sauce
2 Tbls honey
1 Tbls Vegetable oil
Juice of 1 lime
1 garlic clove, minced
1 Tbls Pampered Chef Mole Rub

Grill chicken (or saute in a skillet or grill pan) until cooked through and no longer pink. Let your chicken rest for about ten minutes and then chop in to cubes.

For Tacos:
Whole wheat taco sized tortillas (I used Mission Artisan Style tortillas)
Bibb Lettuce or shredded cabbage
Diced avacado
Diced red onion
Reduced fat or fat free sour cream
Extra Mole rub to top

Just assemble them as you like! I served these with Tostido "hint of lime" chips and some queso dip. Yum!!

Now for this week:
Tonight I'll be eating with my parents so no cooking tonight.
Tuesday: Date night in! I'm making my sundried tomato and chicken linguine with roasted asparagus. (I'll share that recipe next week!)
Wednesday: Tex Mex Sloppy Joes (I'm using ground turkey instead of beef)
Thursday: Curried Coconut Chicken Stir Fry

Have a good week everyone!!

Thai Chicken Stir Fry

I promised to share my favorite Asian recipe with you all. It is so simple and so delicious. I've made it for guests and it always impresses. I got this recipe from my favorite kitchen shopping venue,  The Pampered Chef . I've tweaked it and made it my own over the several times I've made this dish. Here's what you need: 3 Limes (Or lime juice-about 4 Tbls) 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter ( I use reduced fat) 3/4 cup chicken broth (I use fat free) 3 Tbsp  Thai Red Curry Rub 1 Tbsp soy sauce (I use low sodium) 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 medium onion sliced in small strips 1 red bell pepper sliced in strips 2 medium carrots either julienned or chopped fine 6 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro OR 3 Tbsp dried cilantro 2 cups instant rice, cooked (I use brown rice) 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken, cubed 1/2 tsp salt 1 Tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil 1 cup frozen green beans (I use the entire package that is pictured) Green onions and chopped peanut...

Beauty day!

So, in my past life, I was a full time makeup artist, esthetician and business owner. Yes. All three rolled in to one. I owned a cosmetics studio and spa from age 22-26. Before that, I worked in a cosmetic studio and went to school to get my esthetics license. It's all a far cry from what I do for a living now but it's still a big part of my life. I still give the occasional facial and I stay in the loop by doing makeup for weddings and proms here and there. My studio was a Merle Norman Cosmetics studio and I still use their products pretty much exclusively for myself and anyone I provide service to. I firmly stand behind their products. I have never had problems with my skin and I attribute that to years of faithfulness to MN. Anyway, that brings me to my topic for today. I recently had a friend who asked on Facebook what people's favorite brand of drugstore makeup was. She's trying to save some money and go that route. I heard this ALL THE TIME when I had my studio...

Father's day

Each year we celebrate dads. We all have our own stories of what makes our dad's the "best dad on the planet". I'm blessed that God created my dad just for me and my brother. My dad was God's perfect design for the man He intended to raise us here on earth to live in His word and do His works. I am thankful every day of my life that my dad is exactly who he is. I'm sure that all of our dads have qualities that may annoy us. (Mine jokes incessantly with anyone and everyone he meets whether the unsuspecting victim understands his humor or not...mom is always super proud..hehe) But, I wouldn't trade my joke cracking daddy for anyone on earth. My dad is my hero, my supporter and my friend. I'm so proud of his time he spent defending our country as a crew chief in the United States Air Force during Vietnam. I'm so proud of the years and years he spent working in corporate America earning a living for our family. I'm proud of the leadership he provid...
