I'm back, babydoll!

I've been doing the domestic thing recently, and cooking a lot more. I have more reason to, since I have another person to cook for (who doesn't mind doing the dishes after I've cooked-- nice bonus). And I'm also coming around to the idea of leftovers*, which has greatly helped.

Pinterest has, like for so many others, really broadened my recipe collection. And the reason I'm back is to show my friends and family the recipes I've tried and how well (or not) they've worked! Because you can't always trust pinterest when it tells you something is "amazing" or "the best ever". I know this to be true.

I'm starting off with what I'm having for dinner tonight, actually. I made it for my gentleman friend and I last night, and I'm having it again tonight. It's that good. It's actually what turned me around most to leftovers. I kid you not, it has changed my eating habits! This recipe is even better left over, if it makes it to the leftover stage. It may not, I make no promises.

The recipe is called Queso Smothered Chicken. And it gets nothing but raves from the gentleman friend. I didn't plan on making it again so soon after I made it the first time, but I found myself craving it and gave in, because I have patience/impulse control issues. It also takes about 30 minutes to cook (not including marinating time), which is great for me, because of the aforementioned patience issues.

I won't post the whole recipe here, as I don't want to take traffic away from the site I found it on (I have made a few recipes from there and they've all been keepers). I will, however, post a link and let you investigate all on your own! Here's a picture, though, to give you something to look at:

Like many of the recipes I make, this one is not exactly healthy. But it is so, so good, that it's worth cheating a little bit for. That is, if you believe in that whole "dieting" thing. I do not.

Okay, that's it! I hope I'm back for awhile. You never know...


*I have always hated leftovers. I tend to not want the same food again the next day, and the thought of it makes me quite unhappy. Luckily, the food I've been making recently has changed that.
