Lately, I’ve been spending more time on Google+. (Come on over and say hi!) I still don’t “get it” completely and it hasn’t become a part of my routine like Facebook and Pinterest are, but I do come across the most delicious and droolworthy desserts and meals.
Like this Salted Caramel Skillet Brownie.
(I’m not sure if it was the skillet brownie part, or the salted caramel part that got me. But put the two together and I might have had to wipe the drool off my computer. Not kidding.)
And then there was the Margarita Chicken with Mango Avocado Salsa from From Foodie with Love. I made it that night y’all. Except I didn’t marinate it…because I didn’t have time. Still, so so so delicious. I also think this would be great topping combination for a salad…in fact, that’s what I had for lunch the next day…salad with diced grilled chicken, mango, avocado and red pepper. Happy, happy, happy!
(Speaking of which…who is excited that Duck Dynasty is back on?!?)
Enough with the rambling, and onto the recipe!!!
Quack.
(Note: our family eats 2 large chicken breasts, cut into “deck of card” sizes. Make 3-4 smaller ones if your family eats more!)
