Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the chicken skin side up, on a cast iron skillet.
Spoon leftover marinade on top of each piece of chicken.

This Spicy Chorizo Monkey Bread recipe came about

This Spicy Chorizo Monkey Bread recipe came about as an inspiration after I saw an IG reel by @grillin_with_dad. Prepared differently than my inspiration, it looked delicious, and I immediately thought this would be a great twist for me. I chose a Mexican twist with the chorizo, taco cheese and Monterey Jack cheese. I honestly feel like it was perfect! I will be making this frequently as it was so easy to make. And I really suggest you try both of our versions.

Quick Lemon Pasta @inagarten inspired me to make

Quick Lemon Pasta @inagarten inspired me to make this recipe with my own little twist to her Fan-Favorite Lemon Capellini. I used what I had on hand, added a couple of things and it was delicious!
 My Twist… Ingredients: Salt and freshly ground black pepper  1 lb. thin spaghetti  1/2 pound (2 sticks) salted butter  Zest and juice of 2 large lemons  1 tbsp chopped basil, I used Gourmet Garden (Semi-dried and lasts 4 weeks) Grated parmesan to taste  Directions: Add 2 tablespoons of salt to a large pot of boiling water.  Add the thin spaghetti and cook to package instructions.  Meanwhile, heat a large sauté pan, add the butter, and heat until the butter is melted.  Add the zest and juice of the 2 lemons. Add 1 teaspoon pepper and swirl the pan to combine.  As soon as the pasta is cooked, lift the pasta out of the water, allowing most but not all of the water to drain back into the pot, and add all the pasta to the sauce.  Cook for one minute, adding pasta water to the sauce with a ladle just enough to keep the pasta moist. Add chopped basil and parmesan. Mix well. And we are done!  #lemonpasta #quickdinners #easypastarecipes #easyweeknightdinner #Inagarten #belquistwist #pastaaddict #10minutemeal #inagarten #recipetwist
