I have always been a sandwich lover. From peanut butter and jelly to my “world famous” turkey, avocado, tomato stacked sandwich, I can always go for a sandwich. This chicken pita has a zesty, fresh taste that is perfect for lunch or dinner. With all the hype around the Hunger Games, I named this dish after my favorite character Peeta Mellark.
I woke up this morning and realized I only have one month left until I graduate from law school. And that means a summer of studying for the bar. And if I’m gonna stay sane, there is going to have to be lots of cook outs, happy hours, and patio drinking (I’m talking to you Mel Bakker!)
I’m too excited to wait for warm weather so I broke out some new grilling recipes. Tonight I made Key Lime Grilled Chicken Kabobs for only 5 Weight Watcher’s Plus Points.
My favorite go-to meal. This fun Mexican dish is so easy to make because you just toss everything into the slow cooker before you leave for work, and you come home to a wonderful meal waiting to be devoured! Matt loves this meal and asks me to make it at least once a week.
A college tradition at La Crosse was Wednesday night wings. Every Wednesday, you and all your friends would walk down to 3rd street to get 10 cent wings and dollar PBRs. It was a fun tradition that Matt really misses now that he’s a “grown up” who lives a city where Wednesday wings means 75 cents a wing. Not much of a deal. So I decided we could make our own Wednesday night wings. Only this time, they would be healthier. Now that I am in the middle of p90x, I really can’t be eating deep fried wings. I found this great recipe from SkinnyTaste that is amazing. It’s a mixture between our Wednesday wings and Chinese food. And the best part is it is healthier than both! It is a bit saltier so you will want to keep your portion small. (unless you are Matt who devoured that entire plate!)
I knew I was either going to love it or hate it this recipe. Unfortunately, it was the latter, but that’s just me. If you really enjoy grilled chicken with a heavier sauce, then this recipe was made for you. The grilled chicken part was fabulous though. Matt’s grilling skills saved the meal.
