Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Every once in a while you get a craving for something. Yes, I know you do. I do, too. This week I craved chicken satay.

It all started a couple of weeks ago at a dinner party where chicken satay was served as an appetizer. It was yummy. Then I saw Lucinda Scala Quinn make her version of chicken satay on her show, Mad Hungry.

Well, that was all it took. The combination of the two made me lock onto chicken satay as a must have. I decided it would be an entree item, served with my coconut rice and steamed broccoli.

The recipe I used was inspired by Tyler Florence. Chicken tenders were on sale this week at our local grocery store and all the other ingredients were happily waiting in the refrigerator or pantry. It was time to make chicken satay!

Coffee and Dessert-A Perfect Pairing

Coffee and dessert go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly, night and day, or Thelma and Louise. I've teamed up with three blogging friends who love coffee and dessert as much as I do to bring you three of their favorite fall desserts to pair with three specialty coffee drinks I've made in the Ninja Coffee Bar System. I was very excited to receive this Ninja Coffee Bar System (Model CF092) to review. I am by no means a coffee snob but I do like a good cup of coffee.

In the past few years, I have used a Keurig single-serving system, a French press, and a Cuisinart drip coffee maker. The Keurig is sitting on a shelf in my basement, the French press is on a high shelf in the kitchen and the Cuisinart sits in my beverage center waiting for me to return to it while I take the Ninja Coffee Bar System for a test drive. I have...
