A mixture of Mexican cheese nachos and marinated and grilled chicken breast are garnished with cilantro and lime crème. The Vermentino wine that is typically accompanied with shrimp was my inspiration for this dish. Since the couple got along so well, I had numerous requests for the nacho recipe. Make it your own using this as a model since I kind of just made it up as I went along!

This was my first time using spelt flour. I used honey instead of maple syrup and didn’t have pumpkin pie spice on hand so used half T of nutmeg and half T cloves. The texture was really soft, quite different from wheat flour, and the taste was good. I will definitely make this again.
I made these as written, with raisins, except for substituting olive oil for the butter. They were moist but light and tender. Next time I will try dried cranberries and nuts! Thank you for the recipe.
I have made these twice now. They are very tender.
I was looking for a recipe with healthier flour and no sugar added. This somehow popped up and I made it this evening. I followed the recipe exactly (except , no raisins) and the muffins came out moist and delicious. I cooked them for 20 minutes and my 1 year old son devoured one before bed. Next time I might add some chocolate chips to half the batch 🙂
