Chicken Marinade

It really doesn't matter what the outside temperature is doing;

we like to grill!

Since it's the Mr. that stands out in the cold,

or heat,

or mist,

or snow,

or rain,

I'm always game to throw something on the grill for dinner!

The other day, when shopping for groceries, I noticed the store didn't carry my favorite marinade.

But they had another marinade from a brand that I like that sells BBQ sauce.

Plus, it is a local brand, and I like shopping local.

So I bought the new brand marinade.

But I didn't like it.

Matter of fact, the Mr. and cherubs didn't like it either.

Not that it was bad, because we wouldn't know.

Because it had no taste.

None.

I'm not into tasteless marinade.

So now, with no marinade in the house and chicken thawed out,

I needed a marinade.

I remembered a teriyaki marinade that I used to make,

but couldn't find the recipe.

Then I remembered another one.

This one is delicious.

I tweeked it just a bit, because I wanted to.

You can do the same if you feel like it.

I think this might become my new favorite marinade,

even over the other favorite marinade!

At dinner, everyone commented on how yummy it was!

The next day, I made a double recipe to store in the refrigerator,

just so that I'd have some when we I wanted to grill!

Chicken Marinade

1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup soy sauce (I used gluten free)
2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce (I used gluten free)
2 TBSP water
1 TBSP brown sugar (or white if you're out of brown)*
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 tsp. ground ginger**

Place all of the ingredients in a jar and shake to mix.

Pour desired amount over your favorite meat and marinade.

Discard any marinade after using.

*If this amount seems too sweet for your taste, just reduce by 1/2.
**I omit this occasionally. Not everyone prefers the taste of ginger.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
