Jalapeno Cheese Crunchies
These are baked Jalapeño cheese puffs and they are addictive. Not too hot but the heat does build as you continue to munch. Great with a margarita or mojito.

Marinated Chipotle Chicken Skewers
This is one of our favorite quick dinners because it’s delicious chunks of chicken on skewers you just pop into the oven and serve with some rice and veggies (we love to eat these with the Cuban Black Beans.) It’s a healthy, sorta-fancy everyday dinner that’s quick too.
