Meal Fifteen: Buffalo-Chicken Macroni and Cheese

This was better than average comfort food!  I had made this myself  in the spring for a saturday night dinner with friends, but we needed Dory's advanced skills to really enjoy  Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese . It came out cheesy and bubbly, with some kick from the hot sauce.  The immersion blender stepped in again to ensure a creamy sauce.  YUM!

Meal Fourteen: Chicken Tacos

Back to school time!  What an incredibly nice summer.... it was tough to stay indoors and cook.  Our Labor Day weekend started out great with Easy Chicken Tacos. This was a wonderful recipe that has inspired me to try more poaching chicken breasts rather than roasting in the oven.  I like to cook up a few pieces just to have on hand for creating dinners.  Lots of recipes call for purchasing a rotisserie chicken and shredding the meat for quick meals.  I really like to cook it myself - tastes better, cheaper and probably a bit healthier as I think those store chickens are full of salt.  Dory enhanced the recipe a bit - used the entire can of adobo chilies and the sauce was just great.  Good heat, but not too firey.  There were a few leftovers that made yummy lunches during the week. We started out with guacamole & chips and also had some beans for a side.  A lovely start to the new season of PD!
