Jana: Cayenne-Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa

So pears were hard... I'm chalking it up to the fact that February is a short month, not to the fact that I lost almost all motivation toward the end of the month.

But March has come in like a lion... so it's on to a new ingredient. I picked up a couple of avocados at the grocery store on Sunday, but didn't really know what I was going to do with them. Thursday night while Rob spun on the bike in the garage, I found a yummy recipe for Cayenne-Rubbed Chicken with Avocado Salsa on the Martha Stewart site. I even surprised myself by having almost all of the ingredients--the only thing I substituted was white onions for red onions.

This meal was quick and yummy. The pepper seasoning was a bit spicy, but the avocado salsa complimented it wonderfully--the tang of the lime juice and avocado tamed it down to manageable spice level. I bought my avocados several days earlier; by Thursday, they were just shy of overripe, making the salsa less chunky than the photo on the website, but still tasted good.

Another high five from our kitchen...
