When I got home I took a nice bike ride and then I started cooking. I made a favorite marinade for chicken......usually we make shish-ka-bobs...but last night we just had the chicken, It reminded me how much we like this recipe.........
Shish-Ka-Bobs
1 1/2/ lbs chicken breast cut into 1 inch cubes
15 oz pineapple chunks-drain and save the juice
* or you can use a small can of pineapple juice like I do
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 TBSP light brown sugar
2 tsp ground ginger
1 TBSP dry mustard
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Mix 1/2 cup pineapple juice with the first seven ingredients. Place in sauce pan, stir and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer. simmer uncovered for 5 minutes. Pour over chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Stir occasionally and turn chicken.
If making shish-ka-bobs.....skewer chicken chunks with onion, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, green peppers and pineapple chunks as desired.
This makes delicious chicken...try it out.
While I was mixing away I was listening to music and dancing around the kitchen...and I just felt good! I also made some Frosted Banana Bars (originally from Darby at on her blog Fly through My Window)
I finished off the day watching the movie The Secret Life of Bees.....enjoyed the book a few years ago and the movie was good too.
Today I had 25 kids and their Moms, Babysitters, Grandparents and Dads....a little bit of everything. We had fun! Tomorrow it's time for some puppets and songs. Fun! Fun! Fun!
aw the crowns are adorable!
