Spicy Cabbage Kimchi

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2012
Searched this recipe out while looking for ideas for a gift basket of homemade goodies for my parents for Valentines day! My step-father is retired Army, and has always loved Kimchi. Both him and my Mother are big Foodies, and I thought this would be an interesting surprise for them! The first try I made, I could not find the Korean chili powder, so I used regular, mixed with some Siracha. It was insanely hot, but John is still flipping out on how wonderful it is! For my second attempt, I put a message on facebook on where to find the correct chili powder, and a chef that I am friends with told me where it was locally. The second attempt is wonderful also!! On a side note, Dr.Oz (tv personality/doctor), had a show where he was giving advice to help non-morning people wake up. He called it the "kimchi kick-start", and advised to eat a few forkfulls in the morning in order to get you raring to go!

Black Bean and Corn Salad II

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2012
I searched recipes for a dinner with my friend who was recently diagnosed with both Gluten and Dairy allergies, and is also on Weight Watchers. I served it with the Chili-Lime Chicken kabobs, and they were fantastic together! My friend is not an adventurous eater, and told me that if she saw a bowl of this out at a party, she never would have even tried it. But she took a tiny spoonful to taste it to be polite, and then was shoveling it by the spoonful! She had corn tortilla chips that are Gluten Free, and they turned it into a fantastic appetizer before it was the dinner's side dish! If you do wind up making both the chicken and the salad, the leftovers from the 2 recipes are insanely wonderful in a tortilla wrap as a sandwich!!! I will add a little more lime to mine next time, as I never get enough citrus! :)

Chili-Lime Chicken Kabobs

Reviewed: Mar. 19, 2012
I searched recipes for a dinner with my friend who was recently diagnosed with both Gluten and Dairy allergies, and is also on Weight Watchers. I marinated the chicken pieces for about 24hours- which I normally do if possible, to get the best flavor! I wish I would have made more marinade and put the veggies in to marinate also- as they only picked up a bit of the flavor-but still were great! The flavor is fantastic!! I did the corn and black bean (with Avocado) salad on the side, and they were fantastic together! If you do wind up making both, the leftovers from the 2 recipes are insanely wonderful in a tortilla wrap as a sandwich!!!
