Back in my own kitchen

 Can you imagine how life  would be? " Give me the Luxuries of Life, and I will willingly do withou the necessities" -Frank Lloyd Wright

I guess we can all define Luxuries to our own taste and making those things pleasurable.  I personally think that there is no better way to relax decompress and regroup than by taking pleasure in the simple things.... like comfort cooking.
I do miss my own kitchen when I am out of town visiting family, although I often insist on taking control of  their kitchen.

My husband can cook and does a great job when I am away and can create a few great dishes on his own. He is the "master griller"...and the BBQ grill is ready all year long.

This Grilled Citrus Chicken recipe was very good. It is low fat and only 173 calories per serving. We are really trying to watch our consumption of healthy food and this I found delicious.  Wine?  I would pair this dish with a pinot grissio or a good chardenay. Guaranteed to get a WOW!
