Grilled Taco Lime Chicken

We had this chicken for dinner last night and loved it!  It is so versatile- in fact, between the three of us we ate it three different ways.  I had mine in a taco, Aaron had his with a salad, and Brynlee ate hers plain with some veggies on the side.  It was perfect with the usual taco toppings (lettuce, baby spinach, tomatoes, avocados, fresh lime juice,etc) and the Creamy Tomatillo Ranch Dressing from the Cafe Rio Salads.  Taste aside, I loved that this chicken was so fast to prepare!  No marinating time required.  Just mix up the spices, rub them into the chicken, add a squeeze of lime and you're ready to grill.








Grilled Taco Lime Chicken
modified from Picky-Palate

 Ingredients:

1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp table salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 lime
3-4 chicken breasts



Directions:

Pre-heat indoor or outdoor grill to medium high heat.  Mix the spices together and sprinkle over thawed chicken breasts.  Rub in with fingers.  Cut lime in half and squeeze generously over chicken.  If desired, marinate for 1-5 hours.  If not,  just go ahead and throw it on the grill.  Cook on each side for 5-6 minutes or until juices run clear.  Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing to keep the juices in.  Enjoy!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
