  • Take that, Double Down.

    Take that, Double Down.

    I didn’t intend to cook a take on the KFC Double Down sandwich the other night, but about midway through I realized I was.

    Quick chicken tacos with salsa verde

    Back from a great trip out to visit family in Montana (will post at least something from that trip soon), and decided to make something quick tonight. Jessie was thawing out a chicken breast when I got home, so I was pretty much stuck with using that protein (OK, not “stuck,” I actually like cooking [...]
