What's on the menu for eveyone today?
I'm making the chicken Nicoise salad from one of the
C@H Grilling books and think I'll also do the Benedictine sandwiches that goes with the salad.

We are having the grilled peach/mustard chicken that Jean posted about, with broccoli and a garlic bread. First day of really trying to cut down. We just had way too much fun this summer and our waistlines are showing it.

We're on the road. William has offered to make sausage and rice for dinner. I'm hoping the rain stops by the time we get home. But comfort food will be nice after a crazy weekend.

Please let me know how you like it, Trixxee. Fingers crossed.
Daphne, I just found the most interesting 'salami' recipe this a.m. in a book I downloaded to my kindle. Won't say anymore yet, but I'm thawing out some burger right now!!!! Your sausage mention made me think of it.

That really looks delicious Karyn, thank you for sharing. I put it down for Thursdays dinner.
Last night's dinner was so delicious that I'm making it again tonight, except I'm using beef filets with the steak sauce; French fries and asparagus as sides.

I don't "get" the chili or chipotle in adobo sauce. They are way too spicy, even for me. Is it the sauce or the pepper in the sauce that's the spicy one?

Barbara, I'm a bit of a chipotle wimp, so I usually de-vein and de-seed chipotles before I use them in a recipe. That way, I get the nice smokey flavor without so much heat. I did that in this recipe, and regret it, so I'm making a note to myself to leave the seeds and veins in the marinade. The flavor was delicious but actually had almost no heat...a bit more spice would have been nice.
Blane and Daphne, this was really delicious! The avocado cream sauce is very mild, but the yogurt adds a really nice tang. I served it with Goya Mexican rice and grilled zucchini. It's definitely a keeper. I hope you enjoy it!
