Peanut Sauce!

I am a big fan of peanut sauce because it is delicious on chicken and even pasta. You can make either chicken skewers or breasts of chicken and BBQ them! So this easy to follow sauce is very diverse for lots of dishes. You will need 1 cup of smooth peanut butter, 1/4 of a cup of low sodium soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of chili paste, 2 tablespoons of dark brown sugar, the juice from 2 limes, 1/2 a cup of hot water. Combine all the ingredients EXCEPT for the hot water in a blender or food processor. As the blender or food processor is running drizzle the hot water into the mixture in order to get the sauce thinner. You may not need all the water just enough to get it to a thickness for you. Now you are ready to use this sauce for several different dishes!

Lets make tacos!

Since being in Barcelona I have missed a good Taco a great deal. I tried buying the prepacked taco seasoning, however I did not enjoy the taste that much. Instead I realized that making your own seasoning for tacos is so easy. You need: 1 tablesppon of chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cumin, salt and pepper.

Simply mix all the ingredients in a bowl and add as much salt and pepper as you wish. And there you go there is your taco seasoning. You can either put this seasoning on sliced chicken or ground beef what ever you prefer. Grab a margarita to have a full mexican meal!
