I haven't been participating very well, because I am a bad bunny. So here's what I had tonight.
It's nothing fancy, but it is tasty. Simple salad with leaf lettuce, shredded cheese (colby and monteray jack), avacado, roma tomatoes, chicken and ranch dressing. I use Litehouse Ranch, the stuff you have to get in the produce section, because it just tastes way better than what you get in the bottles on the regular shelf. I cheated and bought the chicken already cooked and ready to go in the bag, basically because it's too hot to really cook and I was pretty tierd from spending four hours getting work done on my car today. I also used just a little bit of garlic powder overtop, just enough where you get the smell and just a tiny bit of that aftertaste.
The presentation could have been better, but I didn't think about taking a picture until I'd already chopped the veggies. If I'd been thinking, I'd have done them in half slices and arranged them a bit nicer. I also use a pie dish instead of a bowl or a plate. A bowl just never seems to give you enough room to mix things up nicely, and on a plate you just seem to lose everything over the side. A pie dish works just perfect, even if it looks kinda weird.
Oh yes, the bread is the grocery store brand of "good" bread... that being the bread that's in the wide, fat loaves. It's the store brand and is the cheapest, but I swear it's better than any of the expensive alternatives. This is potato bread, which has a great flavor and is rich enough to really fill you up. And that's apple juice in the glass.
I'm not terribly smart with spices and garnishes, but I do like to cook. I just don't like to cook when it gets up to 104° outside. o.O
