Coconut Lime Grilled Chicken
I have a huge upright freezer that I vowed to use better in 2017. I prepped a lot of recipes back in August, and I have been working through them over the last few months. I first made this back when I could get to my grill outside, and the guys devoured it before I could even reach for the camera. Now, the grill is buried under a few inches of snow and ice, so I prepared this batch on an indoor grill. Not as pretty to photograph, but still tastes amazing!
I didn't make any changes to the recipe except to use dried parsley instead of fresh. One of my resolutions for 2018 is to get an herb garden in! Thank you so much to Ruth at Living Well Spending Less for this fantastic recipe :)

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try. They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing. I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach. I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture. When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so. Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick
Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple. Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper. Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears). Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy. The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese. I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size. I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version. The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with. First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese. For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with. Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker. For the pepperoni pi
Looks really good. Do you think it will work cooking it on stovetop?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I've made it on the outdoor grill, indoor grill, stove top in a skillet, breaded it and baked it in the oven. Very, very versatile recipe.
