A Recipe A Week: Week 8

Happy Thursday y'all!

I have gotten a vote on my poll for more recipes so I'm glad to know y'all appreciate my recipes every week :)

This week's recipe is something I pretty much threw together, and it ended up being really good!

Grilled Hawaiian Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 packet McCormick Grill Mates     

Hawaiian Luau Marinade

(for marinade you will need oil and

white or apple cider vinegar)       

1 can pineapple rings                       

1 jar Marciano cherries                   

Salt                                         

Pepper                                    

1. Prepare marinade as indicated on packet. [Combine packet of marinade seasoning, 1/4 cup oil, and 1/3 cup vinegar in a bowl and stir].

2.  Salt and pepper chicken breasts. Place chicken breasts in a Tupperware container or a Ziploc bag. Pour marinade over chicken. The package says to let the chicken breasts marinate for at least 15 minutes, but I recommend longer especially if they are bigger breasts. I marinated mine for 3 hours, flipped them, and marinated them for 3 additional hours.

3. Grill chicken breasts for 20 minutes, flipping regularly. When the chicken breasts have about 5 minutes left, place pineapple rings on the grill.

4. Take chicken breasts off the grill, and garnish with grilled pineapple rings and cherries. Serve immediately.

I can't believe I've actually tried a new recipe a week for 2 months! It has been a challenge I look forward to every week.



I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

We Want to Know Wednesday

Happy Wednesday y'all!

Today I'm playing along with We Want to Know Wednesday hosted by Impulsive Addict, Janette, Mamarazzi, and Seriously Shawn!

 1. If you could choose a Super Power, what would it be? I think I would definitely want to be able to become invisible! There would just be so many benefits to that!  All those times you wished you could be a fly on the wall... :) Think Harry Potter's cloak of invisibility!

 2. What would be your first frivolous purchase if you were awarded a million dollars tomorrow? For myself, I would definitely get a Nikon D3100 digital SLR camera! And, I would have to get my husband that boat he's been wanting. Come on, the boat is for me too :) {via}

3. What would be the hardest current luxury for you to give up? Definitely the Internet! If I didn't have a phone I could survive because I could just call people online! Although I guess that means that in particular, it would be hard to give up HIGH SPEED Internet. I don't think I could go back to the days of dial up! 4. If you were given a choice between  being given great wisdom and great wealth, which would you choose? Great wisdom. Because in theory, if I was given great wisdom I could gain great wealth :) 5. If you were to be stranded on a deserted island for 100 days, what 5 things would you pack? 1. A pretty nice tent. I can't see myself being good enough to construct a sturdy make-shift shelter.2. A change of clothes. That way I wouldn't have to be completely disgusting.3. Toiletries. I just can't see going 100 days without brushing my teeth, washing, or shaving!!4. Matches to start a fire.5. Water. Pretty sure I wouldn't be surviving the whole 100 days without it!

I'm loving... that I got a lot of deep cleaning done around the house yesterday! I even cleaned out enough clothes out of the closet to fill a garbage bag.

I'm loving... that my parents' and sister's dog and cat are coming to stay with me next week while they go on their cruise to the Bahamas! Their dog, Allie, was my dog until I got married. I just couldn't take her away from them! So I'm really excited for her to come stay with me :)

I'm loving... all the reading I'm getting done off my summer reading list! I'm reading Something Blue by Emily Giffin right now :)
