Tut Tuesday: Lemon Dessert Bowls - The Proper Pinwheel : The Proper Pinwheel. What up what up? Did you enjoy your Monday? I sure did.

Honey Lime Chicken (inspired by Sunset Magazine) Leave it to Sunset Magazine to come up with a variety of delicious marinades to suit any purpose and serve them up in one cool issue (August 2010). Recently I made the two "Perfect for Seafood" marinades - Lemongrass, Chile and Coconut Milk Shrimp and Chile Ginger Shrimp. Both were fantastic, so this time I decided to try the honey lime marinade from the "Perfect for Chicken" section and I was very pleased with the outcome.It doesn't get any easier than this - 5 simple ingredients (not including the salt and pepper), marinade overnight, and throw on the grill.

Then sit back and enjoy the lime-infused, honey-crusted chicken. Serves 4-6 Marinade: 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes), plus the zest of both limes 2 Tablespoons honey 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper 2 pounds of chicken (I used boneless skin-on breasts, but use whatever suits you)

Jeg er simpelthen så ambivalent i min lyst til mad i disse dage.

På den ene side har jeg rigtig meget lyst til (endnu mere end normalt) at spise sprøde salater, grønt, frugt, groft og masser af sunde, knasende sprøde, lækre og friske sager = tegn på forår. På den anden side har jeg lyst til at spise søde sager, lækre lakridser, chokolader, kage og drikke varme hyggelige drikke som latte, te, kakao og chai = tegn på vinter. Kender du mon det mønster fra dig selv? En kombination er jo ikke det værste, hvis du spørger mig. Og i går aftes spiste vi disse lækre og sunde tortillaer, som er ualmindelig velsmagende og giver en perfekt kombination af det søde med det sprøde. Haps!
