What's For Dinner?

[Marilyn. 340]

the chicken we had yesterday was so yummy and hubby barbecued it to perfection.. mmm yum...

i marinated it using kind of a combination of two recipes.....

1/4 cup ketchup

2 to 3 tablespoons lime or lemon juice

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 cup olive oil

1 to 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar

2 to 3 garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon garlic powder

a few shakes of pepper

I used this with 4 chicken drumsticks... the recipe says you can use 12 drumsticks but I am not sure if there would be enough marinade for that...

oh and one trick I learned from another recipe is to put a few slashes in the chicken... this helps the marinade to get inside the chicken better... oh and I always take the skin of the chicken... and I also love to use Ziploc bags for marinating.. just throw in the marinade and add the chicken and zip it up...

I only marinated the chicken for about 3 hours but it still tasted good.. it would be even better if you could marinate the chicken for a few more hours or even overnight...

then bake the chicken in the over for about 45 minutes or grill them on the barbecue..

I ended up making orange ginger beef stirfry with jasmine rice. I also fried some onions and mushrooms then added them to the remainder of the roast beef and gravy and froze it for a day when I don't feel like cooking.

Oh, and my husband told me he will be working late tomorrow so I have started a ham and pea soup from scratch.... sticks tongue out at Trailmix..... and left it to gather flavour in the crockpot.

But you were the one who got me craving it, Trailmix, so it's all good. I'll still make you some BBQ sauce.

I get so hungry when I read about the good meals everyone is preparing. We had speghetti squash last night with homemade marinara sauce. It was very good. Garlic bread sticks accompanied.

I don't know what I'm going to make tonight. I might have to post what I made tomorrow. I have lots of choices, I just don't know what to make.

Tonight I am making shish kabobs. I have some steak I have been marinating since yesterday and I have mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, onions, red peppers.

I have leftover couscous from yesterday and I'll make a salad.

Well yesterday we ended up having the fried chicken/potato salad/coleslaw combo - which I like. I was sooooo tired yesterday, you would have thought I had been burning the midnight oil for days, when in fact it was just 1 night that I had only 6 hours of sleep

Anyway, I took pork chops out yesterday, so hopefully I will have enough energy to cook those tonight! Along with some potatoes and ... something.

Get oudda town! How do they even know about it?

[Sprailenes 47]

Because I talk about it constantly with the executive chef.

[Krikit 1,164]

Score one for the Canadians. How well did they go over, Sprailenes?

It was actually really good. He used a different type of cheese though and it was delicious! I will have to ask him what kind he used, it was like a fancy poutine.

Yay for fancy poutine!!

Well, we have a rotisserie chicken from yesterday, so that is now what is for dinner - the pork chops will have to wait or whatever.

I'm tired....yawnnn

I have to get up off my chair and find something to go with that chicken. I'm thinking canned chili and some french bread
