Love the cast iron pan--blacken chicken grilled pepper avocado salad with ranch

Cast iron pan, an amazing toy, I want to use it everyday for everything. E said I can't have grilled food too often , it's not healthy. Well, I do not want to get sick, I have so many dreams that haven't come true, I can't die !!

Grilled avocado: toss avocado with lime juice and seasoned with salt pepper( I used bread dip mix)

Grilled pepper: tossed with olive oil, and seasoned
Blacken chicken: boneless chicken thigh(" I love chicken thigh, it doesn't dry out when you cook it" ) rubbed with smoke paprika, Cajun mix as well as some oil---- it really can kick CBC's ass .

Tortilla chips: brushed with olive oil and canjun mix, 300F 10mins, remeber to turn them over once in the half way

Dressing: Ranch

This low-carb tortilla chip is not as crunchy as the whole wheat one, but it's low-carb, which makes me very happy. When I cook for myself, I always use heathy choices, but for others, I am always afraid the heathy stuffs would degrade the taste, so always whole milk, heavy cream, butter, non-wheat bread. I remember when I shopped panko, I hesitated for 30 secs between whole wheat one and original one.
We have to admit, it is difficult to get both healthy/diet and good taste. French cuisine loves butter, there is a trailer of 'Julia and Julie' about french scramble eggs, I believe it is good, but I don;t think I want to cook myself scramble eggs in that way.
Well, as long as most of time , we stick to a healthy way, it's fun and enjoyable to have high-calories good eats.
