What's cooking? This CL recipe for Chicken Gyro Bowls (728 views)

That looks good, applecrisp. I wish someone would make it for me! Sometimes those assembly recipes seem more daunting than cooking recipes--too much assembling

This week, I am mostly eating leftovers. These Maple and Chipotle Broiler-Barbecued Chicken Thighs are really good and fairly fast and easy. I didn't have time to let them marinate with the rub on this time around. Plus Mother's Day leftovers, including Best Make-Ahead Recipes' mac and cheese. It came out really good this time and the leftovers are surprisingly better than I thought.

Funny about Mother's Day: I attempted to make KA's Berry Tiramisu. Panicked when the cake layers came out really thin and made vanilla cupcakes instead, but after looking at the recipe pictures later, think now that maybe they were fine. I did the soaking (could have done more) and used the cream and berries so it all worked out, except for my panic and being a bit behind that day.

Up next, though probably next week, are some chicken and poblano tacos. I am toying with the idea of making a lemon pavlova this weekend. I love the idea of using the yolks in the curd and the whites in the pav--not sure why it tickles me so much!

Thanks, applecrisp! The leftovers were especially good this week I do use the molasses--I have it on hand because I like oven-baked beans--but I would still say you could try it without if you were so inclined. Like you, I sometimes adapt and then wonder "Did I really try this recipe?" My poblano thread popped up here recently--still haven't really used them in recipes--but we did roast them last year and they are still in my freezer so it gives me a leg up on that taco recipe. And my mom has made it twice recently so it comes highly recommended.

Nothing cooking for me for awhile....on day 4 of generator power and am actually at work now with my DH using his computers. We had storms in our town last Tuesday (4 tornadoes but those did not hit us. We got the microburst rip through our town from one side to the other at 110 mph). Our town was the worst hit but fortunately my family and house are safe. Our town still looks like a war zone with tons of houses and cars being crushed by trees, trees just ripped out of the ground or in half etc... Scary! I am crossing my fingers that we may get our power back later today or tomorrow. Until then.....no cooking!

So glad you are safe KarenW!

O.K. This is getting old....Day # 6 OR is it 7 now without power. But then again, what day is it anyway!! They say maybe midnight today. Meanwhile school is cx'ed again today and tomorrow which means these kids are going to go until the end of June. I just want to cook again!! At our library now....at least I can go online here. Ugh....when will this end. But don't get me wron, I am thankful my family, house etc....is o.k. But hey, I am human, too....I am allowed to whine a bit!

In the dark....still, Karen
