Lime Garlic Chicken with Zucchini and Rice
About this Cook
I'm nearly 26 years of age, married and working 9-5 (many nights later). I'm very active -yoga and walking. If I can, I would prefer to make most foods and snacks myself because I like to keep it fresh and healthy.
My favorite things to cook
pie, cookies & bars, muffins.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mexican dishes, i.e. enchiladas, tamales, tosatdas, rice and fideo and frijoles con queso. I just tried making sushi at home. It's so much easier than I expected it to be!
My cooking triumphs
Canning, cut out cookies, and convincing my husband to accept tofu into our meals.
My cooking tragedies
Not reading through a recipe before beginning, if I am not familiar with it. It just goes much smoother while you're preparing the recipe.

Beefy Chinese Dumplings
I cannot give this 5*s b/c I wasn't able to make it as is. I'm not able to eat cabbage so I made them with sweet potato as a substitute. I must say they are delicious! I steamed them for 10mins, but next time I'll bake them. B/c there were so many (aprox. 40-45 dumplings) I steamed enough for two and froze the rest to make later. My favorite kind of recipe!

Honey Curried Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
Made this Sunday for me & the hubby. If you're looking for a spin on the standard roasted chicken --make this one!! I did as others suggested by roasting the veggies first and then the chicken, adding the veggies after draining the chicken juices 10 minutes before the chicken was ready (at the same time adding the glaze). Had GREAT flavor. Thanks!
