This dish is incredibly versatile. Salsa chicken is great on days when you are looking for something quick and hearty.You can stop at the salsa and chicken and add cheese, but lately I been shredding the chicken and adding black beans and corn sometime I serve it over rice. One time I put the chicken in a burrito, it turn out good.

BEST BEEF RIBS RECIPE EVER

Your Aunt is bringing ribs to my house tomorrow... wanna come over? This is what my mother always says to lure me over to her house. I guess she doesn't know I'd come over without a food bribe.... but I'm not telling her that as long as she's offering these ribs.

The recipe my aunt uses is similar to the one below. It's been modified a little from my aunt's version, but it still taste just as amazing. These ribs are smothered in a mouth-watering sauce and are fall-off the bone delicious. The best part is the ease of preparing them. Although, I gotta say, letting someone else make 'em is a lot easier... and without "the clean up".

The smells coming from my oven were heavenly. The crescent was scrumptious.  The flavors mingled perfectly, and needless to say this recipe was the highlight of dinner.

BEST ITALIAN CHICKEN MARINADE RECIPE EVER

This recipe uses a zesty Italian dressing as super tasty chicken marinade to start out with. Tasty as that is on its own, I couldn't just stop there. I minced a ripe bell pepper, which ended up being the shining star of this particular recipe (at least in my house). Then I thought it was in need of some cheese, so I went with a simple Mozzarella (Finely Shredded) topped over some perfectly complementing onion and garlic chunky spaghetti sauce. When this recipe was all done, it was far more delicious than I could have ever imagined. I was truly surprised! It was definitely much more that just the sum of its parts. This is a keeper! Enjoy.
