Ginger-Lime Marinade

6 6

Since we live so close to Ranch 99, Greg & I walk there to get our vegetables/produce because we feel it is of better quality and cheaper than grocery stores. A win-win for us! Last time we were there, they had lime and ginger on sale. Since we try to use ingredients we have on hand, Greg found this yummy recipe for a marinade that used ginger and lime which we used for chicken.

Ingredients:

Servings Size

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 lime zest

Mix all together and marinate chicken for 2 hours (so says the recipe). Greg cut the chicken breasts in half and pounded them flat so they would cook more evenly in the skillet. We let the chicken marinate for an hour because we were hungry. We added cayenne pepper to add a little kick and it wasn't overpowering.

It turned out really well! We had a side of homemade mac & cheese with broccoli. Was a wonderful meal and the marinade is definitely worth a try! Simple yet delicious.

Chocolate Biscuit Cake

I have every intention of making this cake. I thought I was going to have more time on my hands but Stanford called and I have a job again for another 4 months. Once the quarter is over in June I will make it. I can't wait to try it!
