The Dirty Girls Social Club

First, just let me say that this is not the other name of our book club! With that said, the book was entertaining...
Dirty Girls Social Club by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez: Book Cover
The New York Times bestselling novel that is a sensational debut about six friends—each one an unforgettable Latina woman in her late '20s—and the complications and triumphs in their lives.

Alisa and Margie fed us with Southwestern fare- the highlight of which was the Southwestern grilled chicken...

Southwestern Grilled Chicken

2 cups buttermilk
1 lime, zested and juiced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp chili powder
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp turmeric ( I was just reading on Dr. Andrew Weil's website that all these spices are SO good for you!!)
Tabasco hot sauce, to taste
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper
4 boneless chicken breasts
Canola oil

Whisk together the buttermilk, lime zest and juice, garlic, chili powder, coriander, cumin, turmeric, hot sauce, cilantro, and salt and pepper. Pour this into a large Ziploc plastic bag, add the chicken, seal the bag and refrigerate. Marinate up to 4 hours.
Preheat grill or grill pan. Remove chicken and pat dry. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown and cooked through.

I will finish up year 3 next time with Gone for Good and Memoirs of a Geisha...until then...
