  1. Deliciously simple! Love lime with poultry! Mine was done faster than the time here. Thanks MarraMamba for sharing. Made for Zaar Stars.
     
  2. I don't usually include mushrooms as an ingredient in anything, but I made an exception here, 'cause my other half really likes them! VERY NICE CHICKEN DISH, & definitely easy to prepare! I used two large chicken breasts & sliced them into thirds! Really liked the use of the lime juice here! Definitely a keeper recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars tag]
     
  3. Delicious and easy. Perfect as a weeknight dinner. I made this as written except for scaling the recipe down for one and increasing the quantity of mushrooms. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
     
  4. YUM! SO easy and SO delicious! :) Except for using more like 2 cups of mushrooms (we LOVE mushrooms) and adding some minced onion and minced garlic (just couldn't resist including them) in with the mushrooms, I made these exactly to the recipe. LOVED the blend of lime juice and olive oil. The chicken was moist and so wonderfully flavoursome. I used boneless skinless breasts, halved and Recipe #260039 was the perfect complement. Thanks MarraMamba! I'll certainly be making this recipe again. Made for Gimme 5.
     
  5. I was surprised at how flavorful this was considering the simple ingredients. Very good, simple and healthy! Thanks!

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
