Took chicken thighs out of the freezer to cook for dinner last night. Was craving Mojo Criollo but haven't been able to find it in the grocery. So I made the marinade from what I had on hand. It came out just delicious!

Put 3 cloves of garlic, toasted cumin seeds, oregano, salt, fresh lemon & orange juice and olive oil in the mini food processer and whipped it up. The orange was not super sweet, so add a little honey.

Put that with the chicken into a Ziplock along with the leftover orange halves, a white onion and cilantro. Let it marinate in the fridge all day.

On the egg at 400 for about a half an hour, turning once.

Plated with Cuban black beans, avocado & tomato salad and a buttered tortilla. Yum!

Never thought this day would come! Bella & Blaze happy together. Our older cat has still not warmed up to her yet, heck, she has not warmed up to Blaze and it's been 4 years!

And finally, our cactus in bloom. So pretty.
