So I grabbed some green chilies a few weeks ago when I was stocking up (and going over-budget, sigh!)…and I had plans to make a green chile chicken in the slow cooker…but decided to pound out the chicken and roll it around the green chilies instead. I paired this with brown rice, corn kernels and [...]

And the bazillion little cottonwood seeds drifting through the air, and some other pollen are wrecking havoc on my allergies. (I just took a Benadryl, so if [...]
