Hot August Days

Just a cool refreshing margarita to accompany some Malibu Chicken strips. A light summer lunch with some Malibu sauce, in the heart shaped container, to go with the chicken this time.

Malibu chicken - All rolled up

When I was in high school, my best friend had a boy friend who was a few years older than us. He worked as a parking lot attendant and collect lots of one dollars as tips.  In the evening he would come over to my friend's house with a wad of money. She would then beg him to take her to Sizzler where she loved the cheese toast. Often I would go along for a ride and ended developing a certain attraction for the Malibu Chicken. Somehow I remember as a roll. So here it is

Pounded out a boneless, skinless chicken breast. My trick is to do this between two sheets of saran wrap.

Layer slices of ham and swiss cheese.

Rolled it up and secure with tooth picks.

Dip rolls in beaten eggs and bread them with Panko crumbs.

Bake until done. Served here with avocado, lime, and sour cream.

These are little crackers with chocolate in the middle made to look like burgers. From Japan.

July Food Swap

I was so very excited to participate in the pen pal foodie food swap. Here is my summery card that was the pen pal part. Don't you just love sunflowers? And that color blue - it's like the sky on a crisp day.

This is what I received. I requested savory, though I hinted I special like of jam. Thus, crackers, chips, peanuts, dip mix, and mango salsa, and peach (!) jam. Yay!

This is what I sent. All locally grown products. Almond bark, honey, chocolate almonds, cashews, pistachios, pomegranate jelly, and apricots.
