Milagros= Mexican Ribs!


So yesterday while working, one of the other staff, James, mentioned a place off 8th north in Orem that had killer Mexican ribs. Now, I know you're all thinking, "What! Mexican ribs?" and that's what I thought! Oh man, was I surprised. James left for a bit and brought back a half-rack of killer mexican ribs! They were sweet but with a little heat and the meat fell off the bone. They weren't super fatty, and they really hit the spot. He also brought back the fattest steak quesadilla that I've ever encountered. It was cheesy and packed full of steak. All this food came with a ton of rice, fresh corn and flour tortillas, guacamole, and beans. Since we weren't a fan of beans we got double rice which came either spicy or regular. All this food was for about 20 dollars and the portions were generous. I wish I had more to say about the actual restaurant but that will have to wait for another time. I will definitely eat there again, and want to let everyone know that Mexican ribs are awesome! Here's a link to their site, it has their menu as well as prices.  Happy eating!

Lemonade or Lemon Awesomness??

So this is my first post for this blog, but I really would like people to help me out with this one. I would reallllly like feed back, as well as comments about where I should go eat next and so on. So, to make lemonade or something with lemony amazingness cooked in? I think something with the amazingness cooked in, like this recipe that I found a couple of weeks ago that I'm hoping to try soon.

                                                          Lemon Butter Chicken
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon butter                                               
  • 1/3 cup Italian salad dressing
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 chicken tenderloins
  • lemon pepper to taste
  • garlic salt to taste
  • onion powder to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place the butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish, and melt in the oven. Remove from heat, and mix in Italian salad dressing, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
  2. Arrange the chicken tenderloins in the baking dish, coating with the melted butter mixture. Season both sides of chicken with lemon pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder. Sprinkle with lemon zest.
  3. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until chicken juices run clear.
 I promise that not all recipes will have to do with lemon, but this particular recipe looks awesome! check it out, and if anyone tries this before me let me know what you think!
