Try Something New Post #1

I've set a goal for myself to start trying new things.
First and foremost NEW RECIPES!!!!
My hubby has very polietly mentioned that he would prefer that we not have the same things for dinner week after week after week. -Giggle- I have to admit, I have been in the spaghetti, tacos, pizza, chicken and rice rut. Since he is kind enough to grill me tons of chicken every week, I will be kind enough to look for recipes to spice it up in the kitchen. -wink wink-

I found this recipe on Recipe Zaar! It got a big thumbs up from everyone at the table. My hottie hubby is such a team player he will eat anything that I make. (he said to type "sort of" here, but really, if you can put Tabasco and salsa on it, he will eat it!) If there aren't any comments outside of "thanks for making dinner wife," I know not to put that one in the recipe file. Today I got a "this is good wife," which is my favorite seal approval from the hubbie. -BIG GRIN!-

Thanks to Paula G. for the photo.

I LOVE crunchy anything and these were CRUNCHY!!!! I think they would be even better with some chili and cheese poured on top but I skipped that so it wouldn't totally defeat the purpose of the "oven fried" status.
