A little this and a pinch of that

Ingredients:

boned, skinned chicken breast halves (2 lb. total)
1/4 cup lime juice ( I didnt have 1/4 off a cup of lime so I put like half this much and the rest lemon juice and it tasted a lot better then the time I put in the right amount of lime)
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon honey ( I ommitt this)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Red onion ( I add this so no real set amount)

Preparation:

1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 in.) and place in a shallow baking pan.
2. In a small bowl, mix lime juice, cilantro, garlic, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour over chicken and turn pieces to coat evenly. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or overnight.
3. Lay chicken on a grill over medium heat (you can hold your hand over the surface only 4 to 5 seconds) and cook, turning once, until no longer pink in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

And the only Pic I have on the Preparation:

Tex Mex Squash Casserole:

So this recipe is one that I made up by myself with a little inspiration/amounts from a recipe:

Ingrediants:

2 pounds yellow summer squash
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (4 ounces) chopped mild green chiles, with liquid
2 small jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
8 ounces shredded Monterey jack cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups tortilla chips, crushed ( I dont measure I just see how much will cover)

1 red bell pepper

Preparation: (this i totally made up)

1) Cut up the squash ( i do thin slices)

2) The squash will have a lot of water, so I found that if you boil it with a little bit of water in the pan until all of the squah is mushy, drain the water and pat the squash dry it works well

3) While I am cooking the squash I sautee the onions, bell peppers and jalpenos on the stove until squishy

4) Crunch up the tortilla chips to cover the bottom of you pot ( I use a medium sized corningware dish you will see in the pictures).

5) Mix all ingrediants together

6) Put indgediants in pot and cover with tortilla chips

7) Cook on 350 for about 25 to 30 mins

Why yes this is squash from my garden boiling

Sauteeing the oinon and bell peppers

Everything Mixed together

All ready to go in the oven

Dinner Time !!!!
