Looking for Easy Super Bowl Appetizers, then we have you covered.

For those that know me, they know I’m a pretty open book. I spend my days juggling work, parenting, fun and adventure. I am a proud native San Diegan. I am a maker; I love glitter, rainbows, cooking, traveling, and entertaining. If a project or recipe is super complicated or takes a ton of time, it’s most likely not going to happen. I believe in clean eating, home gardens and feeding my family organic when I can. For most of you, I am a busy Mom, just like you. As a busy Mom, we’re making a million decisions a day on the well being of our family. I don’t know about you, but I big-puffy-heart when the complicated is taken out of the decisions. Especially when it comes to the food I’m feeding my family. When Foster Farms® Chicken, a west coast family-owned chicken company, asked me to create a recipe using the new product line of Simply Raised fresh chicken, I first said you betcha. Then secondly I gave myself a Mom high-five because they made grocery shopping that much less complicated by offering options at the grocery store I go to, and not making me go to multiple stores to get my poultry.

Foster Farms® is one of the leading chicken producers for us out West (CA, OR, and WA). It’s a family-owned company that is now offering Simply Raised chicken(raised without antibiotics). Simply Raised fresh chicken is raised on vegetarian feed, humanely raised and delivered locally within 48 hours.

I thought I would share a chicken twist on a San Diego favorite. Al Pastor is typically a pork dish where the meat is marinade in some great flavors and then placed onto a slow cooking rotisserie and then the meat is sliced off similar to gyro meat. You can find it almost any Mexican food restaurant.
Today, I’m sharing my al pastor chicken kabob recipe that I’m pretty sure is going to make it into your monthly dinner recipe list.

I love the bright colors of this dish from the onions and peppers.
There is the ability to crank up the spicy heat on this recipe really easily. Simply add another chipotle pepper or increase the amount of chili powder. This recipe is great for my family as it has a small kick, but not enough to bother the kids.
