Grilled Honey Lime Chicken Sandwiches. A tasty surprise! What leftover chicken there was didn't last long.
4 stars

(p.s. This is Natalie now, and the sandwiches were a LOT better than my mom makes them out to be. I loved them! The avocado and grilled chicken together was ah-mazing. I just thought I'd throw in my opinion since mom didn't spare too many words on her review. )


But let's get to my favorite dish of the night! Chili Lime Avocados! OMG -- This is heaven.

Heaven with George Clooney.

With a tub of Moo-llennium Crunch ice cream.

Really, that's how good this is! It's so unusual. Everyone else in the family gave it 4 stars, but I will give it 5 stars for sure. Give it a try!

Chili Lime Avocados - Rachael Ray
2 ripe Haas avocados
the juice of 2 limes
1 t. sugar
1 t. chili powder
1/2 t. salt
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
chopped chives or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Halve the avocados and remove pits. Roll limes or heat in microwave for 10 seconds to get juices flowing. Halve the limes. Rub the avocado halves gently with 1/2 lime (cut side of lime) to prevent browning. Juice limes into small bowl and mix with sugar, chili powder and salt using a fork or small whisk. Add oil in a slow stream while mixing dressing. Pour dressing into the cavities of avocados, distributing it equally, and serve, garnished with chives or cilantro, if you wish. Makes 4 servings.



Here's the last recipe in a busy cooking night. Nothing fancy, but a cute way to serve pineapple.
Ripe Pineapple Wedges
1 whole ripe pineapple
Quarter the pineapple lengthwise leaving the top on. Following the skin of the pineapple, carefully pare the fruit away using your knife, keeping the green tops attached. Next, cut the pineapple into 1/2-inch wedges, arranged alternately to the left, then to the right. Each completed pineapple serving will look like a "boat" filled with the fruit slices. Makes 4 servings.

3 stars
