Chicken with Coconut-Lime Peanut Sauce Recipe: Thai, Asian Inspired
The Super Bowl is this Sunday and I am finally diverting from my Valentine’s recipes and sharing a dish that would be great alongside all those mini bite appetizers. There have been so many awesome recipes passed around the internet the past few weeks in preparation for the game. Do I even know who is playing, no. When it comes to spectator sports it is all about the food for me. I added some bright green asparagus. This sauce tastes even better the next day after the flavors have a chance to combine. I like to make a big batch of this chicken dish so we have enough for a few days. What are you serving for the Super Bowl? Chicken with Coconut-Lime Peanut Sauce Ingredients Sauce Chicken 2 pounds Chicken Breast, cut into 1 inch pieces 1/2 cup diced Onion a few Garlic Cloves, chopped 1 teaspoon unrefined Coconut Oil 1 cup chopped Asparagus Spears, cut into 1 inch pieces Optional Garnishes Chopped Cilantro chopped Peanuts Green Onion toasted unsweetened Coconut Flake Srirach sauce Method Notes

Bacon-wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites
610K+Add bacon to anything and it will fly off the table. That’s what a caterer once told me and I believe it. Certainly applies here. Whether you’re planning a cookout this weekend or cooking indoors (rain predicted here in Texas), grill up a few of these sizzling treats for a quick appetizer or serve as an entree. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the Fourth of July than with a big plate of these spicy and cheesy, smoky and crispy chicken nuggets. If you don’t like hot, leave out the jalapenos or skimp a bit. Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Chicken Bites Author: Recipe adapted from Home Cooking with Trisha Yearwood 8 chicken tenders, flattened and cut in two3-ounce package softened cream cheese1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped8 slices bacon, cut in half Dab ½ teaspoon (more or less) of cream cheese on top of each chicken tender.

Alicia’s Awesome Crab Rangoon
I invented this recipe many years ago… when I was in high school. I loved eating crab rangoon at Asian restaurants, and of course there were none of those in my hometown of under 1,000. Like a lot of recipes I come up with, this one was invented out of necessity. And it was awesome . I’ve only tweaked it a little here and there, and it just gets better every time. Since the crab in the filling is already cooked, I’ve even made the filling and served it as crab dip. You can also make these ahead of time and freeze them uncooked. Here’s the details… And here’s the recipe… Alicia’s Awesome Crab Rangoon 1 12 oz package imitation crab meat (leg or flake style), chopped 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 2 green onions, chopped wonton wrappers Mix together all ingredients except wontons. Makes about 30 rangoon, or 2 cups of filling.

DIY Braided Bead Bracelet
It’s been awhile since our last bracelet DIY. I don’t know about you, but our wrists have been begging for another colorful addition for months now. So after playing with some materials that were already on hand, we’ve created a tutorial for a braided bead bracelet, which is a not so distant cousin of the hex nut and wrap bracelet. You’ll need: Cut the waxed linen cord into a 26″ and 19″ piece. Tie a knot about half an inch down from the loops. Start braiding the strands. Push the bead against the base of the braid, and cross the left strand over the middle. Keep a finger at the base of the braid, holding the beads in their place and keeping the braid tight. Finish the bracelet with another inch of braided cord, measuring it against the wrist. Thread on a two hole button – two strands through one hole and one strand through another. Trim the end. Your bracelet is finished! (all images by HonestlyWTF)
