Lemon Marinade (Chicken)
"Another good recipe from local news chef, Chef Walter. A nice change from the usual lemon pepper marinade on store shelves. This recipe is enough for 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Prep time is marinade time. Note: feel free to cut back or eliminate the salt in this marinade. Low-sodium soy sauce also works well for this. (Thanks for the tip, Nif!)"

I used this to marinade my chicken tonight for the grill, I increased the garlic and used seasoned salt in place of white salt, I also add in some cayenne pepper, wonderful marinade and one i will use again soon! thanks Mis! -
So simple and perfect! I uses for grilling but rain is in the forecast today Into the oven we go! The chicken is so juicy and tender..flavorful.

Loved this! I've been using the George to do our grilling lately -- too much rain these days! This is a wonderful recipe that I'll be able to use year around! I used about 1/2 cup of the marinade to brush on the zucchini, peppers and onions as well. Delicious! Thanks Misa!! Made for KK's Grilling Tag! -
Thanks Mis...this was great. I marinated both chicken and shrimp for the grill. Did the shrimp as kabobs w/greenpepper/onion/baby potatoes. Yum..Yum!!!! I especially loved how both the ginger and the soy come through nicely. Made for KK's Grilling Tag~ -
I made this for my son tonight because the rest of us were having shrimp and he doesn't like it. I asked him to rate it and he gave it 4 stars because it is quite salty (I have to agree - sorry!). I think I would skip the added salt next time - the soy sauce is salty enough on its own. Besides that, it is very good! I made this on the grill and he enjoyed this with recipe #123114. Made for Kittencal's Grilling Game. Thanks Misa! :)

I've been hanging around here for awhile, so I guess filling this part out is overdue...:oops: (6/09)
I am a teacher, married to a pretty swell fella, and have a spoiled rotten princess, er, I mean, cat.
I'm pretty eclectic with my passions - obviously cooking and eating being high on the list! I love to read (from cookbooks to horror/suspense to fiction, fantasy, sci-fi to nonfiction...if it's still long enough, I'll read it). I make beaded jewelry, mostly bead weaving, some stringing. Enjoy listening to most sorts of music - and it's a darn shame I can't dance, sing, or have any sort of rhythm. Computer geek at heart - I'm frequently on the net or playing games in my spare time. I also like drawing and writing, but I don't have as much time to do as much as I used to. I have amassed quite the Good Eats DVD collection (thanks to my DH.... and he's sweet enough to make sure I've picked up the plungers and dino squirt bottle along the way :D). And to complete the quintessential nerd profile, yes, I do read comics.
I couldn't pick a single favorite cookbook, but golly, I looove fundraiser cookbooks. Talk about tried and true! I tend to collect all sorts of cookbooks, most of them southern cooking. Guess I cook what I know.
If you ever try any of my recipes - thank you! I hope they tickle your tastebuds!
