Back from hiatus!

So I haven't blogged in a while as I was awaiting the arrival of my fourth baby. I'm now the proud mommy to a second baby boy and I am totally in love! I have so much blogging to catch up on and so much to share but for now I'd like to start with something I'm sure all you busy moms out there will truly appreciate! During my first two weeks home with my new baby, I was blessed to have some wonderful ladies send dinner for me and my family. I received so much food I had to freeze some of it and that was a good thing because after being spoiled it was really difficult to get back to reality. Thanks to leftovers, last nights dinner required very little effort on my part but turned out amazing! I had some chicken thighs that I defrosted and deboned and decided to get creative, I made a simple rice on the side, threw it in a pan with the chicken, added some fresh garlic, salt, pepper, cumin and fresh lime juice and mixed it all up and threw in some fresh coriander at the end. I then made a tomato onion and coriander salad, dressed with some garlic salt, pepper and lime juice and a sauce made with mayo, lime juice and rind, fresh garlic and salt. We ate it in a pita but you can eat it anyway you like, wrapped in a tortilla or even as is, whatever u like. It was a hit and so easy and quick to make plus I used up some leftovers!
