This week I tried some new recipes that were all very tasty.
Here are some links and my comments:

| Chicken Santa Fe by Lea |
I made this into a 'quick' meal (no crock pot) using canned shredded chicken from our butcher shop. In place of fresh cilantro, I thawed some cilantro sauce mixed in with everything else.

7. Spread sauce on top of loaf after 30 minutes; keep some reserve for dipping, or make extra
Pair with mashed potatoes and a green vegetable
The Santa Fe chicken looks yummy! Did you put in the cumIn?
ReplyDeleteI omitted the cumin. Have you cooked with cumin before? I'm hesitant to buy it in case I don't like it!
ReplyDeleteCumin is one of my favorite spices! You can get Meijer brand cumin (with the plain white label, not their organic or anything fancy), for under $2. Encourage you to try it out!! =D
DeleteI loooooooooove cumin. I seriously almost bought a huge bag (it had about 2 cups lol) in it at Meijer b/c I go through it so fast. I don't know if you have Trader Joes or not, but spices are $1.99 there (they have the basic ones). Seriously, cumin is my fave... I cook w/ it all the time... it works in mexican, curries, chili... yum. Don't hesitate. I probably go through a jar a month... yikes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your input MJ and Jen. I'll pick up a jar next time I'm shopping. I come across so many recipes that call for cumin, and I've always just skipped over it!
