A little bit about Lisette.....

Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest I feel most alive surrounded by trees and breathing in the fresh mountain air.

When I am not working you will most likely find me spending time outdoors, volunteering with my church and exploring this beautiful planet with my family. 

This is my place to share my passion for life and to encourage you to take time to find the extraordinary in your life.

Tangy Chicken Skewers

How often do you see something in a magazine and think, "I am going to make that" file it away and never see it again? I know I do it a lot, so that is part of the reason this recipe is so exciting is because I actually followed through, it was delicious and I have made them several times. They are easy to make, but I will warn you the garlic lingers on your breath for a couple of days. Oh well, such is life.

Tangy Chicken Skewers:

let your bamboo skewers soak in water while you
cut up as much chicken as you want to serve
chop up 1 green onion
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp lime juice
1 garlic clove
combine in a ziplock bag and shake, shake, shake

in a food processor combine
1 red pepper
3 garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
1 crusty piece of bread
1 tbsp sherry vinegar

put chicken onto skewers
barbecue or cook on stove for 5 min. each side, or until done

put sauce on the side
whip up some couscous or rice
add a vegetable
and voila- perfect for an impromptu dinner on the deck.
