I make a marinade that is pretty good, leave the chicken in the marinade for a while (overnight is best) and bake in the oven. I usally do this with wings, but thigs is good too.

Olive oil

dijon mustard (or any kind is good, as long as its not the super yellow american mustard)

lemon juice,

salt/pepper

I don't know measurements, since I tend to cook by sight, eyballing what looks to be enough, but basically enough ingredients to coat chicken well (work it w/ hands to make sure each chicken piece is well covered w/ marinade). I usually bake in the oven, but this weekend I suggested my mom use this marinade for the chicken we cooked on the grill and it was delish!

The recipe I'm making tonight calls for chicken thighs. And aspargus. You could use any vegetable you'd like though...green beans, baby carrots...etc.

Saucy Chicken and Asparagus

1 pound fresh asparagus spears halved

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (or whatever you have...skinned or boned...who cares!)

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted

1 tsp. lemon juice

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. curry powder (I like to use more)

1 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

Place the asparagus in a greased 9 inch square baking dish. In a skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in oil on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange chicken over asparagus. In a bowl, mix soup, mayonnaise, lemon juice and curry powder; pour over chicken. Cover and bake at 375 for 50 minutes or chicken is tender. Sprinkle with cheese, let stand for 5 min.

Both recipes look delicious, but since we are low on foodstuffs I'm going to use that recipe Marilyn (because we actually have that stuff ) , with our pork chops, will have some rice with it as well

the sauce should go good with pork chops

Ooh Carla and Marilyn, both recipes look really good. I will have to try them when I am feeling better.

I am living dangerously tonight and having vegetable soup instead of chicken noodle. Woohoo!

Hubby will probably have hot dogs again.

[Marilyn. 340]

I never have Dijon mustard because hubby doesn't like it so I just use regular mustard....

Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato soup with big crusty rolls and butter - and maybe a salad:-).

The soup is actually made by Pacific Natural Foods. We gt it at Costco - and it is yummy!

Making taco soup tonight, last night I cooked goatmeat stew over rice. I have been watching hubby make the stew since he arrived and last night was the first time I made it. I did a good job and he said it was delicious.

Interesting. Do you have a recipe for the goatmeat stew, Forchika?

I will try to get it posted in the next couple of days-such a long process!!!! What's so funny is I have no exact measurement for some of the seasonings but will do my best!!!!!

That's okay. My measurement scale consists of "does that look good/does that taste good enough?" To me, a recipe is just a suggestion.

Hurray for adorable husbands who love to grill!!!!!

This evening we had teriyaki glazed salmon and shrimp with a vegetable rice. Very yummy. While I was waiting for my hubby to come home from the gym, I also made a meat and mushroom spaghetti sauce for tomorrow evening. Any leftover sauce will go into the individual cheese-stuffed shells covered in mozzarella and baked when I get around to it. In other words, they'll get frozen until I feel a lazy day coming on.

[trailmix 77]

Ok, so I didn't make the sauce recipe Marilyn posted, I did do the pork chops, fried them then put them in the oven in BBQ sauce, bit of a shortcut there

That with potatoes and yam - it was good!

Edit: Can I call my pork chops - BBQ glazed??
