Green Chili Chicken and Lime SoupI love this soup at Chili’s. It is so light and delicious. I get it sometimes at lunch. I found the recipe for it and I am excited to make it. I am not a big cilantro fan, but can handle a hint of it in this soup. All the flavors mixed together make my mouth water. The pieces of avocado are my favorite . It is easy on the waistline too…a real winner (Or as my hubs says at random times, “winner winner chicken dinner!” I have no clue what it means but it sounds fitting for this dish).

I have been craving this Strawberry Pretzel Salad. I just love it! I have noticed it highlighted on other blogs lately. I guess it is that time of year when everyone is craving rich, strawberry goodness! I think I will make it next week with the strawberries I put in the freezer. Yum!
The foodie’s photo this week is not food related, but I could not resist posting the photo of his first swim of the year. Bless his little heart!
Happy Food Friday!
