My Kitchen My World - Virtual Travel to Argentina!
A man walks into a doctor’s office. He has a cucumber up his nose, a carrot in his left ear and a banana in his right ear. “I don’t feel so good - what’s the matter with me?” he asks the doctor. The doctor replies, “you’re not eating properly.”
That may be one of the lamest jokes ever, but it made me laugh today. I know for a fact that I don't always eat properly, but it is not because I have vegetables in my ears. It is because I love those foods that are not good for me!
In our MKMW group, this month we are experiencing the deliciousness of Argentinian foods. I was pleasantly surprised when I googled to find recipes were abundant on pinterest. I love pinterest! I decided to treat the DH to a dish of Argentinian Garlic Chicken with Corn, Tomato, and Parsley Sauce. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. It had just the right amount of spicy kick to it, but not overpowering at all. And I do think it is probably pretty healthy. Easy to prepare. First you grill your chicken. Since it was cold and raining outside, I used my grill pan indoors. I always slice my chicken breasts in half so they cook quicker. Chicken breasts seem to be getting bigger every time I buy them. I wonder what the chickens secret is to large breasts. LOL
Then you mix up some spices and herbs in the food processor. Add to some cooked corn and cut up tomatoes and voila. Your dish is ready!
This is such a fun blogging group to be a part of. Each month we try a different country. Come join the fun and adventure - you will not regret it!! Check out our group website at MKMW.wordpress.com
