Do yourself a favor and whip up a little batch of these.

A Sneaky Treat

Pinterest. It has opened my eyes and my belly to things I would never have known. My most exciting recent find is chocolate frosting shots made from coconut milk. I had never opened a can of coconut milk before and was surprised to find it thick like whipped cream. Don't shake your can! The recipe suggests opening the can and letting it sit in the refrigerator over night so that the whole can gets thick. I wish I had done this as only 25% of my can was thick but it was enough to experiment with. Since my milk portion was off I just improvised to taste with the following ingredients: cocoa powder, vanilla extract and powdered sugar. The result is very tasty but with every bite my brain screams It's Not Buttercream!!! Every night I get into it, I find the taste better and the consistency is so delicious, like thick frosting or mousse. I can't believe this girl made a vegan dessert and is enjoying it. Give it a try!

The Most Delicious Chicken

With no hesitation, I will tell you this is the most delicious tasting chicken I have ever had the honor of placing between my molars. It is so good that on nights I make it I don't even eat dessert because I am too busy in the kitchen eating little pieces left in the pan with all the remaining juices. I can't take credit for it, I found it on this blog: http://healthyeasyrecipes.blogspot.com
But every time I make it (so easy) and every time I eat it (so yummy) I am overcome with the need to share this treasure. So if anyone reads this anymore, this is for YOU.

Without further ado, may I present the honorable Lemon Honey Chicken.

2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp honey
1/8 cup grape seed oil (I never have
this and just use olive oil)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 large chicken breasts sliced in half
and half again

Put everything in a large ziplock bag and mix together. Let refrigerate for an hour or longer but no more than two hours. Pour the whole bag into a skillet and brown chicken by cooking four minutes on each side. Put all contents into Pyrex dish and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

I've served this with veggies and potatoes or rice and just recently with pasta and homemade pesto. It is delicious in pita wraps too. This chicken can do no wrong! Enjoy!!!
