A whole lotta cooking

As you all know I do make more than one meal almost every night, one for me and one for my kids well tonight is no different so I made my all time hubby's favorite chicken and rice, and then I made some yummy Cod sandwiches with roasted bell peppers and basil sauce that I saw from the Barefoot Contessa show the other night it was yummy the flavors rocked and it looked awesome. Then I sliced a granny smith apple and covered it with caramel sauce, they were yummy crunchy and sour and sweet all at the same time. Tonight was a great cooking day!

Good Food!

So I am trying to get healthier and make some good choices so tonight instead of fried chicken I made myself this delicious Salmon salad. The salmon was cooked in olive oil and black pepper in my grill pan. I made a dill and caper sauce to go with it and it was awesome, (dill, basil, green scallions, capers, lime juice, sour cream, and mayo) I served it on a bed of baby spring mix cause that is what I like to eat and with a piece of sourdough bread! YUMMY!

Big Lou's Pizza Place

If you are ever in the San Antonio area and you want to stop and get some grub for you and the familia I suggest going to Big Lou's Pizza it is a hole in the wall joint but is always busy. The pizza is awesome and the place is very nostalgic and the prices are very appetizing as well and since it is in Texas the staff is very nice and friendly. They are known for this huge pizza that can feed 10 to 14 people and the pizza is HUGE!!!! We only ordered the 20 inch and we had pizza for a couple of days for leftovers. This place was on the Man Vs Food show and I so recomend it the pizza is thin like New York pizza and the sauce that they make for it is unreal and OOOHHH so good! It has the perfect amount of cheese and topping! I WAS IN PIZZA HEAVEN!

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Well before I left to go to San Antonio I made some delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup, you add some lime and avocado and it sends your taste buds to a different universe, mine is not very traditional but I love hominy so in it goes and I love the texture that it gives the food! This by far is my favorite soup to have on a rainy cold day with good friends.
