If you have to ask "Is it taxable?" - it probably is.
If you have to ask "Is it deductible?" - it probably isn't.

🌿 Easy Chicken Pozole Verde – Comforting Green Chile Soup with Hominy and Tomatillos Pozole is one of those dishes that fills the house with warmth and the kind of aroma that makes everyone wander into the kitchen. This version of Chicken Pozole Verde started from a recipe printed on the back of a can of Las Palmas Green Chile Enchilada Sauce — but with a few tweaks (and a little inspiration from Curt), it’s become our go-to bowl of comfort.

We're currently up in Breckenridge, CO, and made this incredible Spicy Italian Chicken and Potatoes Sheet Pan Dinner. This recipe was inspired by ChatGPT, but of course we tweaked it. We also included so me recommendations for cooks up in the higher elevations.
Spicy Italian Chicken and Potatoes Sheet Pan Dinner
We're currently up in Breckenridge, CO, and made this incredible Spicy Italian Chicken and Potatoes Sheet Pan Dinner. It all started when we found a great deal on frozen Tyson Boneless Skinless Diced Chicken Breasts. We also found some new potatoes on sale, so we bought a bunch. When we got home, we started searching for recipes that would use both of them.

Ok, I told ChatGPT that we bought a big bag of frozen chicken breasts and golden potatoes and asked for suggestions on what we can make.
She came up with Spicy Roasted Chicken and Potatoes.
It was really good and I'll make it again.

Tonight, we made some butternut squash pasta with Italian sausage. I've been waiting since last autumn to make this 🧑🍳
But we're not always fancy. Last night, we made Cheetos Flaming Hot Mac-n-Cheese.

We went down to the community hot tub and listened to old music. It's crazy how relevant some of the 70s and 80s folk and pre-grunge songs are to the events of today.
