Kabob Marinade

I am not a huge fan of kabobs but the kids are.  Last week I threw a new marinade together.  The veggies were AWESOME in this marinade. I put sausage, pineapple, red and green peppers, zucchini, onion, cherry tomatoes, yellow squash and mushrooms on the skewers, veggies only for me and they were good.  I will use this marinade again.  Easy and tasty! I don't have a photo of the marinade...oops.

~Marinade Recipe~
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup spicy brown mustard
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 Tbsp soy sauce*I used low sodium*
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp fresh ginger root, minced

I combined these all in a bowl and whisked until all mixed and threw it in a ziplock and added the veggies I brushed everything when I was grilling*You could broil as well*  This had a great flavor and was really yummy! Enjoy~

Citrus Chicken Marinade

YUM! It is grillin' season again! Woo Hoo! Love to grill everything and I love to try new marinades and recipes.  This was a huge hit...juicy and flavorful! Make sure to allow plenty of time for the marinade to sit with the meat.

~Recipe~
4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts ** I doubled this for our family**
1 1/2 cups of white wine
Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 orange
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp peppercorns
1 Tbsp fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons of fresh basil, chopped
3 bay leaves
2 additional Tbsp vegetable oil
Mix all of the ingredients well in a bowl.  Place chicken in a large ziplock bag pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours. Turn occasionally to make sure all the chicken gets marinade time. Throw away the marinade before you grill.  Brush the breasts with the oil and grill for 10-12 minutes r until cooked through. Easy...Enjoy~

Lemon Garlic Marinade

You will need to adjust this recipe to the sizes of meat or veggies you are marinating....I have used it on everything from pasta to fish to chicken, beef and it is really good on grilled veggies.

6 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Zest of 2 lemons
6 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley 
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp fresh ground pepper

Whisk all together and add to meat and coat. Put in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Enjoy!
