1 package boneless, skinless chicken
1 cup fresh cilantro
2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
3 cloves pressed garlic
juice from one lime
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup shredded asiago cheese
1. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces. Coarsely chop cilantro.
2. Combine all ingredients (except asiago cheese) in large ziploc bag. This can marinate for one hour, or be frozen for several weeks.
3. To cook, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in large fry pan or wok. Add chicken, cook through stirring frequently. Add asiago cheese just before serving.
**I serve this with either steamed rice or in tacos.

Baked French Toast
I have to give the Mormon Mavens credit for this one. I love this recipe! Although I have made minor modifications.
1 loaf sourdough bread
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold butter
**I normally make this in my pampered chef baking dish, so I don't need to butter my pan. If you are using a regular pan, spray with pam.
1. Break bread into bite sized pieces and place in pan.
2. In large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon. Pour over bread, ensuring you get all the corners. Place in fridge. (I normally try for overnight, but have done as little as 1 hour.)
3. For the topping, cut butter into small pieces. In a medium bowl mix together butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. I use my pastry blender but a fork would work as well (although Mormon Mavens says to use two knives). Combine until mixture has a small pebble consistency. Store in a ziploc bag in the fridge until ready to bake.
4. Sprinkle topping over bread mixture and bake at 350 for 1 hour.
I serve with a little bit of butter and syrup on top.

Epic Fail
So between getting sick and having a huge project due at work, I really failed to get the recipes for this week up. Even worse, I failed to make dinner this week at all! thank goodness Kevin was home last night so he made the tacos, but other then that there has been no cooking being done in this house. So I'll start planning for next week and probably carry over some recipes since I already have the ingredients.
