Mexican Chicken Marinade

Talk about DELICIOUS!!! This is such a great marinade. You can serve it so many ways and I don’t see how you could ever get tired of the flavor. This marinade has lime and cilantro in it and the flavors just infuse the chicken all the way through! I like to serve this shredded and make up chicken tacos with it. It is great over rice with lots of fresh vegetables or can stand proudly on it’s own. Try it, and you’ll see that you pretty much can’t go wrong with this marinade (I’m obviously pretty proud of this one!) Continue reading

Becca’s Bulgogi

This is a great steak marinade, but again, use your imagination :) I’ve changed this marinade enough that I don’t really know if you could even call it a “bulgogi” type marinade anymore, but the alliteration with my name was irresistible! This still has as what we Americans would categorize as the typical Asian taste to it with the soy sauce and sesame oil so I figured it was close enough! Enjoy this simple and delicious marinade any time you’re feeling the itch to grill out! Continue reading

Hawaiian Pork

To add to the marinades this week I wanted to do a sweet and savory type of meal. I decided to use thick, boneless pork ribs cut into chunks. Again, with this recipe, you can use whatever meat you want (I’d stick with pork or chicken with this, but hey if you want to experiment with other meats too, that’s cool).  I sauteed the meat until cooked through, served it over rice and put some green onions and pineapples on top. It turned out really great! Grilled, sauteed or baked, I’m sure however you decide to use this marinade you’ll be satisfied! Continue reading

Lemon Pepper Chicken

To start off my string of marinades this week I decided to go with a classic lemon chicken. I really love lemon chicken, so this marinade was a pretty easy one for me to put together. The great part with making this marinade is that the lemon really tenderizes the meat, the olive oil keeps it moist, and the pepper and garlic makes it pop! Continue reading

Marinades!!!!!

Marinades are amazing. Not only do they infuse meat with flavor, they are simple! I must have forgotten how easy marinades are because I haven’t used them in a long time. In honor of summer time grilling that is coming up I decided to do a week of marinades for you all. So I put together a few marinades, threw them in my freezer, and my whole weeks worth of dinners were put together in a only about 1 hour worth of effort! It was amazing!

While I made these marinade recipes and either baked or sauteed the meat, you can grill any of the meats. Just use your imagination, marinades are just a starting point. Don’t be afraid to switch up the meats and the ways you cook them.

Herb & Artichoke Chicken

I could not believe how easy this ended up being, and how delicious it was too (BONUS, quick and easy can be healthy and yummy too). This recipe derived from a crock pot cook book that my husband bought me, but I changed a few things to make it easier to make and to give it a bit more depth.  Continue reading

Chicken Cordon Bleu

I’m not going to lie, this “classic” meal that everyone knows of….well I’m usually not a huge fan of it. Maybe it was the texture thinly slices ham mixed with the tough thick chicken. Or maybe it was the can cream of mushroom soup that was poured over top (msg anyone????). Perhaps it was  because the ham always slid off the chicken unless there was a toothpick holding it place. Needless to say, I hadn’t made chicken cordon bleu since I got married because I didn’t want to have anyone live through my memory. When I saw a chicken cordon bleu recipe done that basically took out all of the things I didn’t like about the original recipe that I had been exposed to, I knew I had to try it out. Of course I changed it a good amount, so it’s and Dinner For Everyone “original” now I guess! Try it out though, it’s so delicious, so simple, and so worth it! Continue reading

Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know these are cookies, but they would actually be a great thing to serve at a brunch. There is not a lot of sugar in them and they are not overly sweet. I’m not saying they are health food or anything, but they are probably not much better (or worse) for you than a muffin, and they are probably better for you than a cinnamon roll! They’ve got a great tang from the dried cranberries along with an occasional sweetness from the white chocolate. To top it off there is almost an oatmeal cake texture to the cookie with the comfort of nutmeg lingering behind it all.  Continue reading

Green and Clean

For a few years now “going green” has become a prevalent theme in our society. All you have to do is turn on your daily news shows and you’ll usually be able to find at least one plug about how what they are eating, wearing or riding is environmentally friendly. But what about being green and clean? Continue reading

You get plenty of filling, hearty taste with the squash but keep it light with the salad. Try it out! It’s simple and delicious! Continue reading
