Chicken and Chourico Pizza
My mom always made pizza with chourico growing up and I loved it. I have redone it and added more protein - chicken! I love homemade pizza.
Southwestern Chicken Salad
A wonderful blend of spices, herbs, and a bit of a "bite" from the jalapeno combine so well with the chicken and corn in this salad. One of my favorites! If you can't get fresh corn, you may substitute frozen corn.
Striker's Potatoes O'Brien
I'm tired of buying potatoes O'Brien at the store, so I made my own recipe—Striker's potatoes O'Brien. In my opinion, this is the best way to prepare potatoes for a typical breakfast. This recipe lasts a long time in the freezer—simply pull the bag out of the freezer and toss as much as you want onto a hot pan or griddle. Add more vegetable oil when cooking if needed. Enjoy.
