This seems like a WIAW post. It’s not. I’m well aware that it’s Tuesday, thankyaverymuch. It’s just that I really wanted to share a couple meals with you. (As for the title, any Beastie Boys fans out there? Just curious…)
On Sunday, I baked this chicken recipe. The sauce/glaze makes for very tender chicken. Mmmmm… top the chicken with asparagus for non-soggy but slightly soft, roast green goodness.
Sundays are for roasting.
I was really happy I got to enjoy leftovers last night. I was also happy that I made extra quinoa and chicken for lunch.
The ill-behaved child begs like a dog.
Lunch was kind of a big deal. There’s the extra chicken and quinoa, but the exciting part is the sauce.
I like it hot hot hot.
This was my first sriracha experience. Let me tell you – it won’t be the last. I can take the heat; bring it on sriracha!

Ever had sriracha?
Best sauces, spreads, or spices for adding zest to low-cal meals?

Ooh I’ve never had that kind of sauce, but the eat you describe it makes me want to try it really bad! I’ll have to hunt for some at the store next trip
March 6, 2012 at 5:47 am
I meant way you describe it, not eat haha Dumb autocorrect gets me every time
March 6, 2012 at 8:11 am
Ha! It trips me up all the time!

I actually bought sriracha last year but it’s still sitting unopened in my cupboard because I’m not a big fan of too much heat… I have no idea why I bought it haha!
I love adding lemon juice, homemade balsamic dressing, hummus or salsa for some low calorie flavour!
March 6, 2012 at 8:11 am
Mmmmm, salsa is a winner in my book!
March 6, 2012 at 8:24 am
Hey Tiff! Thanks for the post mention on your site today
My husband LOVES Sriracha! When I try it it’s a little dab at a time but he loads the stuff up! We’ll both add it to any kind of Asian inspired dish, but most recently he tried it on a regular deli chicken and cheese sandwich and raved about it.

I love sriracha. It’s fabulous and makes me insides all warm and happy.
March 6, 2012 at 8:50 am
The red heat monster! I cannot do it, my mouth is burning just reading!
March 6, 2012 at 9:06 am
Love love sriracha. We go through that stuff like crazy.
March 6, 2012 at 9:45 am
aaahh we love sriracha so much!! I put it in my spaghetti sauce, lasagna and eggs! So good
Costco has this amazing southwest no salt spice that we love to get, also really good in eggs
March 6, 2012 at 10:08 am
MMM I love sriracha. I bought an intimation one at whole foods and it was sooo not the same.
March 6, 2012 at 10:11 am
Thanks for the link love, girl!! I am a sriracha fan too, and when I’m not using that, it’s either balsamic vinegar or salsa!
March 6, 2012 at 11:35 am
I’m a HUGE srircha fan!! SO GOOD and it makes my food so hot! True love!!
March 6, 2012 at 11:47 am
Awwww… I hope your first time with sriracha was special.
It’s my #1 favorite condiment. Mix it with some peanut flour and a little almond milk for a killer pasta sauce!
March 6, 2012 at 1:28 pm
The title of this post alone won me over–ohh, if this is your first taste…beware. You’re going to start finding yourself putting sriracha on EVERYTHING
I go through a huge container of the stuff at least once a month, yum yum!
March 6, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Oh man I love sriracha sauce! It is so delicious! It’s great on a lot of asian inspired dishes as well! ha
That dinner does look so good! I can’t wait to try out that recipe!
And your cat is so adorable! little paw up there begging! ha How funny!
March 6, 2012 at 2:50 pm
I’m glad you’ve finally had a sriracha experience.
It’s very important to my life- ask anyone who’s ever been in my kitchen. I’m actually eating some right now in my leftover coconut beef!
March 6, 2012 at 3:00 pm
i loveeee sriracha – on like, everything <3 lol hautepinkpretty.com
March 6, 2012 at 3:34 pm
I put sriracha on everything. Love it on a veggie burger with smashed avocado to cool it down some.
March 6, 2012 at 5:38 pm
I like it spicy
March 6, 2012 at 7:05 pm
First – THANK YOU for the link love. I’m glad you liked part 1 of my race recap. I’m learning I have a tendency to be wordy.
Second – I love sriracha – it’s delicious stuff. I’ve been mixing it with my kale salad marinades recently and love the kick it adds. My NOLA roots are showing. 
March 6, 2012 at 7:29 pm
I have not tried it yet, but you have definitely made me curious! Will try it soon!
March 6, 2012 at 7:33 pm
That picture of your cat had me dying. SO cute and funny. I have not yet tried this sauce…but it is sitting on the table at my manfriends house..perhaps I shall give it a taste!
March 6, 2012 at 8:43 pm
I bought three different sauces from Wegman’s last week and they’re GREAT sauces to add onto my veggies/chicken/etc. to give it a little flavor! My favorite is the Sweet Chili Sauce although the Garlic Seasame is a close second
March 6, 2012 at 8:49 pm
Yes, I’ve had it and agree it adds a lot to the meal!
I like Frank’s Wing Sauce. It is 0 WW points so it must be healthy, right?
. We use it to make buffalo chicken wraps — add it to a whole wheat tortilla with chicken, plain Greek yogurt and lettuce. It is so good!
March 7, 2012 at 5:15 am
Frank knows what’s up – I like that stuff too!
March 6, 2012 at 9:45 pm
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE SRIRACHA!!! I call it “Rooster Sauce” though haha:) I used to put it on EVERYTHING (seriously!) BUT, there’s sugar in it… so now it’s a far distant memory!! I’ll drool from the sidelines, though!
March 6, 2012 at 10:42 pm
I always hated hot sauce. I thought it ruined the food and then I found Sriracha! And I am obsessed. It makes everything taste better!
March 7, 2012 at 12:15 am
I just tried sriracha for the first time last week…And I’m now adding it to EVERYTHING. I think I”m in love.
March 7, 2012 at 9:35 am
i love sriracha! good stuff!
March 7, 2012 at 1:17 pm
Sriracha is by far my favorite condiment. I could easily go through a bottle a week. I especially like on top of spaghetti and scrambled eggs. May sound weird but it rocks.
March 7, 2012 at 4:35 pm
Spaghetti is a new one for me; I hadn’t thought of that!
March 7, 2012 at 4:45 pm
TIFF! I love love love sriracha
So when I saw your title I was like OMG she is my type of girl 
Hehe
I love to put it on macaroni and eggs too
March 7, 2012 at 4:53 pm
