Lemon Lime Chicken Broil....on the Grill

Lemon Lime Chicken is one of the easiest recipes I make. It is a hit with company. Plus, the leftovers make yummy tacos or sandwich fillings.

I found this recipe on All Recipes.com, but changed it slightly to fit my needs. I personally think it tastes better grilled than broiled. So, I leave the breasts whole, marinade them no more than 2 hours and then my sweet husband grills them for me.

Don't forget the Italian seasoning, it makes the dish! Enjoy it with a salad and some ranch on the side!

Menu Plan Monday, July 5, 2009

I didn't really adhere to my menu last week. I substituted taco night for the souvlaki on Wednesday, and I honestly cannot remember what we ate the rest of the week, but I went berry picking with some friends, so I know we had fresh fruit. I did have success making chicken broth in the slow cooker with my leftover chicken carcass. It made over 4 cups! What a great deal!

Perhaps this menu week will be more memorable ;) Find more menu plans at Laura at I'm an Org. Junkie.com!

Sunday: Ben grilled the last two burger patties. I made peach crisp for dessert with fresh peaches and fresh blueberries.

Monday: Hot dogs over the fire, marshmallows and banana boats.

Tuesday: Leftovers, or Sandwiches with fruit.

Wednesday: Meatloaf from the freezer with mashed potatoes. I'll make the pizza dough too.

Thursday: Pizza Braid

Friday: Quesadilla Pie

Saturday: Taking dinner to Ben at work.

I won't make it this week, but I want to try these breaded chicken drumsticks soon.

I also want to try chicken fried steak. I've never made it before, but it sounds like a good summer meal. Any ideas?

Music for the Fourth of July

These are some of my favorites......

A Splash of Pops: The Boston Pops Orchestra Under Keith Lockhart

American Anthem: Denise Graves and others.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Celebrates America

State Fair- The Original Broadway Cast Recording.
(It isn't traditionally a patriotic album, but it fits well with the rest of the music)

Summer Treats

In my latest Menu Plan Monday, I noted I had blue icing to use up. This is why! These cupcakes were a huge hit with adults and kids at my church group! I got the idea here. I took the easy way out and used a boxed cake and store bought vanilla frosting.

I made these the night before. If I had to make them again, I would wait and put the teddy bear/lifesaver on before I served them. The lifesavers "wept" a little and the bears got soft. Otherwise, they were delicious!
