After looking at msmofet's dish, I hate to make my black bean quesadillas, but that's what's on the menu for tonight - (unless msmofet has any leftovers - if so, I'll be right over!

Thank you. There is a little bit of the chicken and veggies left but no rice.

Beautiful as usual MsM.

We've been gone to Yellowstone for a week so dinner was simple tonight.

DH asked me to pick up some Nathan's Dinner Franks to have for chili dogs. He was raised in NYC and said Nathan's dogs are Coney Island Dogs. Hmm, news to me.
I've always bought Hebrew National and thought they were very good until tonight! Those quarter pounder Nathan dinner franks were out of this world GOOD. I'm so done with ever buying anything else after tonight......without a doubt the best chili dog I've ever had in my life.
Sure made a believer outa me!

Ditto from me!! I'd love to have that recipe also. That sounds like such a wonderful combo, potsnpanties. If you post the recipe under chicken it won't get lost. Thanks in advance.

Add some chilies (I like chipotle) to the apricot for a fantastic flavor blast.

There's two ways - the slow, whole foods way, or the quick, not-so-whole foods way. The quick way which was Friday's dinner, is simply a can of apricot nectar and a pack of french onion soup and whatever additions (I like adding garlic and mushrooms). The slower method is a bit more lengthy recipe involving making an apricot puree and the like. So it really depends on the time you have to make it
