Doing my best to get back into food events not titled "Blogging by Mail" (!), I was happy to find a reason to force myself to play hunter/gatherer in my own kitchen.
For Leftover Tuesdays, hosted by Project Foodie, I dug out a large can of pineapple juice we bought for some occasion and never actually used. Cute swizzle stick really classes it up, doesn't it?
A habit we're getting into: roasting a couple of chicken breasts over the weekend in case that week's dinners don't produce leftover's for Matt to take to work. This juicy chicken, combined with...

Monday's dinner: a recipe we had late last year, Chicken Braised in Pumpkin Seed Mole and our attempt at re-creating the Black Bean Nachos we'd had for this month's Dine & Dish. Check it out! That's an early stage of the mole; tomatillos,...
- Chicken Braised In Pumpkin Seed Mole Verde
This recipe was really nice; it didn't have a particularly strong flavor, but it was a very...warm, comforting dish. A hint of citrus from the tomatillos. It worked equally well with tortillas, which is how I ate my leftover's the next two days. ...
