Hi!
I switched it up a tad…I’m blogging from the couch this evening! Here’s my view. That up there is the kitchen table where I’m usually parked and typing away 
In that very chair – riiiiiiight there. If you have a blog, where do you write from? If you just read blogs, where do you read from?
Oh ps, in case you were wondering – this morning’s Breakfast Cookie held me over SO well! In fact, I didn’t get hungry until 12:30! Unfortunately I am out of fresh bananas, so b-fast cookie round 2 will have to wait for another day. Rats…
So tonight’s dinner was something that I always get excited to eat. Teriyaki Chicken with Nectarine Salsa!
I suppose I should clarify – I don’t get excited to eat chicken (does anyone?! I mean I like chicken, but I don’t get excited per se…) anyway, I do get excited to eat fruit salsa! I love the combo of sweet & spicy you get when mixing ingredients like fresh nectarines and jalapenos.
I started dinner by marinating some chicken breasts in Kikkoman Teriyaki sauce (you can make your own by combining 2 parts each mirin & soy sauce, to 1 part white sugar) for about 15 minutes in the fridge.
When marinating time was up, I sautéed the breasts in a skillet that I had sprayed with some non-stick spray, for about 4 minutes a side. Meanwhile, I gathered the ingredients for my Nectarine Salsa!
I based it off my recipe for Pineapple Pico de Gallo – and combined:
- 1 nectarine, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 1/4 small red onion, minced
- handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered
- sprinkle of dried cilantro (fresh is best, but i only had dried!)
- juice of 1 lime
- S&P
Stir everything together and you’ve got yourself a custom, flavorful, EASY fruit salsa my friends! Served with a side of fresh broccoli crowns – why, my taste buds were in Heaven this evening This salsa is also fab with tortilla chips or as a salad topper!
Dessert = Extra Long Twizzlers. Ben’s Mom bought these for us because she knows our favorite sweet treats are Twizzes…thanks MIL!!!
ps recognize my shirt?! It’s from my VEGAS TRIP! I miss Vegas…I think the slot machines miss my nickels too…
Wish me luck in not eating too many Twizzlers…these bad boys pack a walloping 160 calories in TWO ropes!! Two! I could eat about 15 of these!! I won’t though – 3 max and they’re banished to the kitchen for the rest of the evening
Have a good night!

What was your dessert this evening? Do you eat dessert every night?
I have to – like seriously, have to…!
If I’m at home, I blog from the couch. If I’m at work then I’m in my office! Your chicken looks delish! I love chicken but it’s not always the most exciting thing. Your topping looks really good! I love topping chicken with really fresh ingredients like that! Whoa those twizzlers are long!
Dinner looks great, heck, you dinners always look great:)
I blog/read blogs from various places, often times my bed. When weather permits I LOVE being outside and yapping away.
I’m a total couch blogger. I read blogs at the table over breakfast, but I do my blogging on the couch at night.
I’m with you! Dessert is a must…seriously, there is just no questions when it comes to something sweet to end the day. It’s beyond a want, it’s essential in my life!
that salsa looks great!
I always blog from the couch
there’s a permanent butt imprint! ha 
i don’t always have DESSERT per se, but I usually have something after dinner. Some times it’s sweet (chocolate, fruit, smoothie, etc), sometimes it’s salty (popcorn…usually)
You are adorable!
I am a couch blogger too. I may have to a do a couch view ‘post’ at some point
Dessert is a must for me every single night, no questions asked. Tonight, I’m not quite sure. I usually decide and then change my mind
But I am thinking some yogurt and cereal mixed together!
Have a wonderful night!

Dessert hasn’t happened yet but will be good!
I always blog from my couch
Wow those twizzlers are loooooong lol
Delicious looking salsa!!! I love peach mango salsa so I’m sure nectarine salsa would be beyond good. Haven’t had dessert yet tonight, but I’m heading to a BBQ where there will be ice cream & cookies! And I have strawberries in the fridge for my return home
Hey girl, this chicken recipe looks fab! I just “starred” it in the ol’ google reader which means it’s going to have to get made real soon. Love the fresh salsa to go with, gorgeous! Have a great night
Nice to change it up some days. I normally blog in my office but occassionally I blog from my couch too.
Tonight I had far too much chocolate for dessert…hence the chocolate coma I currently have.
I could be stuffed to the gills and STILL want something sweet:) Those Twizzlers look amazing!
Glad to see I’ve found someone else who occasionally likes to blog from a more comfortable location:)
Have a great night!
I blog from the couch! After an incident involving a bottle of water and resulting in the purchase of a new laptop I stopped for awhile, but here I am again. Blogging from the couch! Comfy!
Love your blog!
I blog/read from my wonderful leather couch! I love Twizzlers too, grew up on them, my mom always has some at her house!
I don’t get excited about chicken anymore either, but with nectarine salsa I would, thanks for the great recipe!

Hi my dear! You are too cute. Love your nectarine salsa, and your skin is AMAZING. Tell me your beautiful skin secrets. Mine needs help. With a capital H!! xo, Sarah
Blogging happens all over the place with me.. my desk, the couch, the porch, the airplane, the coffee shop.. school.. class (!!).. no where is off limits!
That makes it seem like I post super often, but I don’t.. it’s just wherever I am when I can fit it in!
Hmm.. the question is not what was desert, it is which dessert! I had a orange soda float after dinner, but right now I am munching on smores goldfish (new!!) that are booomb. I recommend. Very. Much.
You make my world go round. Just know this. Blog on, sister
oh my gosh!! you are so gorgeous!!!
seriously, like GLOW gorgeous
those are some loooong asss twizzlers!! haha. I like chocolate, or fruit.. or choclate AND fruit for dessert
I usually blog from the desk in my room.
Nectarine salsa sounds and looks so good. I love the bright colors in the meal (especially the green, green brocc!).
I don’t eat traditional dessert too often, but I love a bowl of yogurt with granola or some chocolate chips on my oats…does that count?
Twizzlers really are addicting! I’m not a big dessert person though. I’d rather just eat a bigger dinner. Last night I guess my dessert was a beer – Tecate Light
I read my blog from my kitchen desk (I have my own little nook) where my computer sits.
I almost never eat dessert. Just not much of a sweet eater…I’d rather eat more dinner!
It is a very rare thing for me to skip dessert after dinner. I just need something sweet to finish it off. Usually just a few bites of ice cream.
I HAVE to have dessert! Even if it’s small, I need it! Tonight it was a popsicle

good day bros. I’m actually into shoes and I was searching for the sake of that meticulous brand. The prices for the velcros were around 170 pounds on every site. But definitively I bring about this locate selling them as a remedy for half price. I really like those prada sneakers. I will probably buy these. what do you think?
