The post of the day was prompted by this amazing verse which captured my attention this morning on FB while reading all the updated status'. My God is good and better yet the good that He unveils when we surrender each day to do His will. I've decided to allow Love transcend through everything my hands touch...So, I saw this recipe on TV, Nigella Lawson, she was cooking up Pollo Espanol or Spanish style chicken. It was a success in my home and hope it will be in yours.
However, I made my own version of Pollo a la Espanola. Here's my version of this fantastic recipe:
1 whole chicken (I used Natural from TJ's), cut the chicken in all its pieces.
1/2 SOYRIZO (I substituted chorizo because we're trying to cut back on pork).
1/2 white onion (the original recipe calls for 1/2 a purple onion)
2 Yukon Potatoes (the recipe calls for little potatoes cut in half)
1/2 Carton of Mushrooms (TJ's) [this was NOT in the original recipe]
1 whole yellow squash [NOT in the original recipe]
Orange Zest (you MUST grate Orange Zest on top of the chicken it's awesome)
*I added the extra veggies 'cuz my boy's are not great veggie eaters so where ever I can put 'em in...I WILL!
375 degree oven for about 1 hour
As a side I made a simple Romain lettuce salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Romain Lettuce (cut the lettuce put in bowl)
a couple of splashes of Balsamic Vinegar on top,
2 T or more Grape seed oil (You can use Olive oil)
Pinch of salt
Combine it all together
Homemade Strawberry Lemonade
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 cup fresh lemon juice (this equaled close to 8 of my lemons)
4-6 cups cold water (this will vary depending on your taste)
Almond Berry Muffins
For dessert I made Berry Muffins, I made a couple of changes to the original recipe (click on the link for the original recipe).
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1/2 cup of Almond flour
4 oz granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups of buttermilk
1 stick butter, melted
4oz blueberry, thawed
4oz raspberry, thawed
2oz almonds cut in half
