Chipotle Salsa Baked Chicken

Dear restaurant chain by the same name, thank you for making chipotle a household word! (And for helping to teach people how to say it correctly—”chee POAT lay”.) I love cooking with chipotles—smoked, dried, red jalapeños—especially those packed in adobo sauce. In this recipe we are making a simple salsa with fire roasted tomatoes, onions, lime juice, and chipotles packed in adobo, coating chicken breasts with the sauce, topping them with melty jack cheese, and baking them in the oven in a casserole dish. So easy. And so versatile. First, chiles in adobo last a long time in the fridge, many months once you’ve opened the can, so you don’t have to stress about using them up right away. Second, this dish has lots of sauce, which tastes great with rice, pasta, tortillas, even chips. Third, it makes great leftovers.

My Travel Snack: Peanut Butter

Have Peanut Butter, Will Travel

“Business or pleasure?” The first question a travel agent asks generally sets the tone for the type of food you’ll be either tolerating or enjoying on your trip. Weekend conference with lots of panels? Hello, veggie sandwich and potato chips. Ten day trip to France for your honeymoon? Bonjour, to just about everything in the history of amazing! One common denominator for me for just about any type of travel though, is peanut butter — the P to the B. Here’s how it gets me through travel, whether it’s business, pleasure, or just an hours-long drive on the highway.
