Try the ethnic section at the grocery store

I tore out an interesting recipe from Good Housekeeping yesterday. It was a buffalo chicken salad. You cut up chicken breast into chunks, then toss them with a little cayenne and salt and bake.

Then you microwave a little butter, Tabasco sauce, and water together and mix it with the chunks and bake a few minutes longer.

Put the chicken on a bed of torn lettuce and top with shredded carrots, thinly sliced celery, and a drizzle of bleu cheese dressing. It was fantastic.

But I didn't have any cayenne pepper and the little Spice Islands bottle at the store was $5.01. Uh uh. Dh said, "Let me check the Mexican foods section for something cheaper." Sure enough, he came back a few minutes later grinning and holding out this bag. A couple of ounces for . . . 89 cents. That's my kind of price. :-)

  3. dx, the girls liked it. C & E ate all of theirs and S ate a few bites. I was surprised C ate hers because she's not very culinarily adventurous and the chicken was spicy, but she ate it and liked it.
