I like doing memes from time to time, and these are both pretty new to me. Food Trip Friday is where you post a food – any kind of food. Photo Friday is where you post a photo that represents the word of the week – this week’s word is PLEASURE. Food is pleasure to me, AS IS photography. Two of my favorite things – food and photography! So here ya go!

I chose this photo because of the colors in the photo, which I love, but also because it demonstrates the complexities of cooking, which I love as well! A twofer!
And, of course, because this IS a recipe blog, afterall, the recipe that this came from!
I decided to (re)do another of my favorites from my blog, the Grilled Southwest Chicken recipe that I’d gotten from an old blogging friend, Karen – formally of Pediascribe – but now blogging at Forgiven & Loved.
In any case, it was a hit then, but not so much of a hit this time. I think it’s because I tried to tweak it by adding a new favorite of mine, LIME, and doubling the spice/oil mixture. IT didn’t work – do NOT try it. LOL Follow THIS recipe instead :)
Grilled Southwest Chicken
4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp each cumin, oregano & chili powder
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon(ish) lime juice. DO NOT USE LOL
salt & pepper to taste
 | Mix the spices in a bowl together with the oil. Poke chicken breasts with a fork. In a zipper-type bag, place chicken breasts and spice mixture. Mush together so that each breast is coated. I let mine sit for about 10 minutes while the grill heated up. |
Grill the chicken approximately 10 minutes on one side, flip and another 5 on the other.
Be sure to visit my other blog, Coming to a Nursery Near You, for my other take on the photo friday theme as well :) Thanks for visiting!
