 Easy Protein Pancakes - via Maune Legacy

 Don't get me wrong, I love pancakes for breakfast, especially smothered in whipped cream, macerated strawberries, and maple syrup. But sometimes, I think it would be nice to get a little bit more nutrients out of them. This pancake recipe, packs an extra punch of protein!
Foodie Girl Chicago - via Kitchen Thyme

At first glance, I was drawn to the idea that this is a blog featuring bloggers, kind of like what I'm doing here! But then, I looked at the recipes Foodie Girl Chicago is writing. These all look amazing! The Lamb Meatball Gyro Bowl and the Mexican Street Corn Pasta were instant winners for me! I'm going to be back, visiting Foodie Girl Chicago's page to look for more!
Couscous Salad with Mixed Beans, Feta Cheese and Olives - via Green Lentil

I really need to start eating better. The trouble is, a lot of healthy food just doesn't sounds good to me, most of the time. This Couscous Salad on the other hand, sounds like something I could without hesitation. Maybe it's the fact that the salad in the picture is smothered in feta, a small weakness of mine. Either way, I am going to be eating this!



 Tomahawk Steak - Reverse Sear - via Shakey Eats

 Look, if you haven't tried out the reverse sear method for grilling steaks, you need to stop waiting on get right to it. I was hesitant at first. Steaks are expensive, and I really didn't want to through money away with an unfamiliar cooking method. As long you as you a decent grasp of grilling meat or cooking them in a pan over the stove top, it's hard to mess this up. It's all about indirect heat anyway. Shakey Eats even gives it an added shot of butter if you needed any extra coaxing!



 Saint Arnold Beer Garden Now Open for Houston Brewery Tourists - via Ronnie Crocker

 This is cool. I've been a fan of these guys for as long as I can remember. Opening their new location was a big deal back in 2009, and they have continued to grow it. Now, with another expansion with a beer garden right next door, this is just another reason beer travelers and tourists to stop by and check out the brewery!

Chicken Fajita Marinade

Beef and Chicken Fajitas on Cast Iron Skillet
So I'm not usually a fan of Chicken Fajitas. Carne Asada is a classic recipe and is one of my favorites. The steak has a such a bold flavor, it cuts through all of the toppings inside the tortilla. When I do eat Chicken Fajitas, it's typically at home. I'm really picky about the way it's made and the way it's seasoned. This is my favorite marinade for Chicken Fajitas. I've been using this since my college days, and I remember a michelada being the inspiration for it.

The Recipe: 

  • 1 Mexican Style Beer
  • 2 Limes - Juiced
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 3 Boneless Chicken Breasts
Mix lime juice, salt, cayenne pepper, and beer in bowl. A good Mexican style beer like Dos Equis, Modelo Especial, or Tecate work really well. Place the chicken in gallon storage bag and poor the marinade over it. Place in the refrigerator. Let sit for at least an hour, preferably over night. 

I think the best way to cook any type of fajitas is on a hot cast iron skillet over a flame. I talk about this process here

Happy Eating.
