T// Strawberry Lemonade =)

Fresh strawberries & lemons make for awesome strawberry lemonade, made with a homemade syrup - iced, and with lemon zest. A very refreshing and giddy-inducing (for the coming summer) drink

Lemon spiralling, zesting, squeezing, and juicing

Please Sir, Can I have more Chili?

T// Chili!

My first, but definitely not my last, rendition of chili! Spicy in all the right ways, this bowl of chili includes ground beef, red & white onions, red & white kidney beans, diced & crushed tomatoes, diced red bell peppers, and corn. Garnished with melty cheddar cheese and cilantro, served with crisp garlic pita bread. =)

IT'S BED TIME CHICKEN!!!

J// Oven Roasted Chicken on a bed of Veggies

Simple oven roasted chicken, seasoned with salt,pepper, and fennel. on a bed of mixed veggies. all deliciously roasted together in the oven nice and slowly. Simple, delicious, comfort food.

Your Pita is showin'.

T// Pita-Flatbread Appetizers

In an attempt to throw together an appetizer for a meal with the chicken already half-roasted in the oven, I twice halved pitas into substitute flatbread for my flatbread apps, shown in my 2009 summer BBQ meal post. The flatbread is usually brushed lightly with EVOO, but I used garlic spread on these pita-flatbreads and it made a huge difference. Includes the typical herbs and cheeses, with fresh button mushrooms and vine ripe tomatoes of my flatbread apps. They came out of the oven crispy, garlicy, and yummy. Love it. Definitely on the Repeat Menu.
