Lemon and Garlic Grilled Chicken

Lemon and garlic make a wonderful combination and turn a plain chicken breast into something mouthwatering. A bonus to this chicken is it can be used in other dishes as well. Stay tuned for another yummy recipe which incorporates this delicious chicken!







Lemon and Garlic Grilled Chicken
from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

Juice of 1 lemon, approximately 3 TBSP
3 TBSP olive oil
1 tsp minced garlic, about 2 medium cloves
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 lb chicken breasts, pounded to an even width

Combine all marinade ingredients. Place chicken in a ziploc bag and pour the marinade over chicken. Seal bag and place in fridge overnight. Grill (or cook in frying pan). Seve with sides of your choice or cut into bite sized pieces and add to desired recipe. Note: If you cut your chicken into smaller, bite-sized pieces and then marinate it, you can get away with only letting it marinate for 5 or 6 hours instead of overnight.

Tip: Double the marinade and chicken and grill it all up and freeze the extras to use later.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
