It sometimes baffles me how something so ridiculously simple can be so ridiculously delicious. For example, this grilled chicken...marinated in a pomegranate vinaigrette dressing. Paired with a warm BBQ sauce with diced mangoes that simmered while the chicken was cooking. The tang-sweet plus the tang-sweet made for a ridiculously delicious dinner! You should try … [Read more...]

Hot Dogs with Homemade Relish
Holy explosion of taste! There's just something about sweet relish that is special. But there's something about homemade sweet relish that is even more special.

Grilled BBQ Chicken Quesadillas
If you've seen any of my other BBQ Chicken recipes in the past, you probably know that I have a slight obsession with the BBQ Chicken Pizza from California Pizza Kitchen.
