Tarragon Chicken Salad and Pita bread


















Cool meal for a warm summer night. I used the recipe from Pink of Perfection blog for Tarragon chicken salad and it turn out great. I use half the sour cream and mayo she called for, and twice the grapes just because and I used this Pita bread recipe and it turned out great.

Corn Tortillas




























































Last night I thought it was a good time to make corn tortillas out of the Corn Masa mix leftover from the tamales. I have a new found respect from those perfectly round tortillas you can buy at the store, but how much better they taste when they're fresh. It wasn't hard to make as much as it was difficult to get the knack of rolling them out. I just followed the directions on the bag, which said to use a tortilla press, used my rolling pen, placed them in the pan for awhile then flipped them over and cooked the other side and thats it. Other then the odd shapes they where great.

Lemon Yogurt Blueberry Cake














































So many blueberries and so many things I could make. I really could sit around and eat blueberries all day until I turned into Violet Beauregarde*, thats basically whats going happening now that I'm pregnant anyways, but I figure I should make a nice sweet bread while I have so many berries at my disposal.

I used this recipe and it turned out great. My only issue was fresh blueberries were heavier than the batter so most of the berries sunk to the bottom of the cake.
