What the Beck???
I poured some of the marinate on the salad
Recipe Review
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Grilled Chicken and
Strawberry Salad Wrap
Found in: The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Dinnertime
Pages: 43 - 45 Copyright: 2015 Harper Collins
I figured out that there are
188 calories, if 8 servings are
made. (Please note that the calorie counts vary depending on the
specific brands of ingredients that you choose to use.)
I really liked this wrap, except I took out a main ingredient. I am allergic to strawberries, so this dramatically changed the recipe. Mine lacked sweetness, which the strawberries would have added. Ree's is also beautiful because the red color just makes the wrap pop.

Here are the ingredients that I used
to create this recipe.
I made the marinate first because
the chicken needed to be covered in the
fridge for at least an hour.
I just used a baggie to marinate the chicken
I browned the chicken on a griddle
I cut the chicken into bite size pieces
The time has come to start building the wrap
I added the grilled meat
It wasn't cloudy when I made it! Geez!
On went the goat cheese
I never would have liked it before I began
cooking Ree's food. My taste
buds have changed so much
(for the better)
I owe you so much, Ree!
I used toothpicks to hold them together
They tasted so wonderful.
Of course, strawberries would have
given it the sweetness it was lacking.

Bucket List Update
Academy Award Nominated Movies
1939 Wuthering
Heights
starring: Merle Oberon, Laurence Olivier, David
Niven
plot
– Emily Bronte’s story set in
England of a hired
hand and a wealthy girl who are separated by personal weaknesses
and choices.
Bronte was a wonderful writer and the story takes
you
to a different time and place. I loved this movie.
1940 The
Philadelphia Story
starring:
Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart
plot
– A divorcee is looking forward to remarrying, but
her ex-husband (Grant) and a reporter (Stewart)
begin causing her problems.
This was one of my favorites this month. Katharine
Hepburn
is wonderful as are Grant and Stewart.
1941 Blossoms
in the Dust
starring:
Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon
plot
– a based in fact story about a woman whose illegitimate
sister commits suicide when she learns she is a foundling. The woman marries and her child dies. She sets up a daycare center
for working mothers, and then her
husband dies. GEEZ! She then opens a foundling center
and strives to get the kids adopted. She convinces
the Texas lawmakers
to remove the word
illegitimate from legal documents. This was
a caring woman who makes real, positive changes
in the world.
This was an OUTSTANDING movie. It really made
me question I am doing now to make
a difference in the world. I thought
about this woman
for weeks.
1942 The
Maltese Falcon
starring:
Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre,
Gladys George, Ward Bond, and Sydney
Greenstreet
plot
– Bogart plays Sam Spade who is hired by Astor
to find the Maltese Falcon which is a valuable
artifact.
I had heard of Sam Spade, but never seen the
movie before now. I thought the premise was well
done.
1943 For
Whom the Bell Tolls
starring:
Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman
plot
– This film is set during the Spanish Civil War. Cooper fights with the guerillas in the mountains.
Their goal is to blow up a bridge
This was a long, slow movie. I wasn’t really interested
in the movie at all. A snoozer for me.
