The BEST Teriyaki Marinade – Quick and easy, asian-inspired marinade that will tenderize the toughest cuts with all the flavors of soy, ginger, garlic, sesame, and chili, sweetened with a little brown sugar.
Teriyaki Marinade is of Japanese origin, but in my house, Teriyaki always brings to mind The Great One. The Great One is my Grandpa, but my kiddos gave him this rather grand title and it has stuck.

Thai Style Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry is full of flavor and is so quick and easy!
I absolutely love stir-fry. It’s great for during the week because it comes together so quickly. Spend a few minutes with the knife and cutting board to slice and dice your meat and veggies. Stir together a sauce and cook everything over a high heat. Dinner is served in under 30 minutes and it’s going to be so much tastier and healthier then carry out.
My Thai Style Cashew Chicken Stir-Fry is one of my husband’s favorites. Juicy strips of chicken breast mixed with tender-crisp sweet red peppers, green and yellow onions, mushrooms, and toasted cashews all combine with a slightly sweet and savory sauce infused with ginger and garlic….
Herb Butter Spatchcock Chicken and Roasted Vegetables is incredibly juicy on the inside with a crispy, golden skin. The roasted potatoes, carrots, and mushrooms make this a one-pan meal perfect for a Family Dinner or a Dinner Party.
I recently, and thoroughly, enjoyed Spatchcock Chicken a few weeks ago at our family reunion held in the gorgeous town of Manatowish Waters, Wisconsin. If you are looking for a cooler summer destination, this place has it all. Lakes, trails, biking, fishing, cranberry bogs, great local craft beer, and of course, cheese.

This Simple Chicken Brine is so easy and will make your chicken ridiculously moist and flavorful.
Why brine you might ask?
The process of soaking a chicken, or many other kinds of meat, in a salt water and herb solution causes the meat to become infused with seasoned, flavorful moisture that will be retained along with it’s own natural juices through-out the cooking process. The leaner cuts, like the breast will always be more moist and juicy and have more flavor then if they were not brined.

There is not a more iconic game day food, in my opinion, than wings and these Sticky Honey Sriracha Wings are a definite win!
We love wings at my house. During BBQ season, we have what we call ‘Wing Fest’. Completely overload the BBQ grill with a ton of wings so there will be plenty of leftovers, and toss them in a variety of sauces. While it can be hard to compete with traditional Buffalo, Sticky Honey Sriracha Wings is a total favorite and the name says it all. A sticky, sweet, spicy heat with an Asian twist.

Chicken Satay – It’s What’s For Dinner!
Dinner you say? Isn’t Chicken Satay an appetizer at a Thai restaurant?
Why, yes. Yes it is. It’s also one of my husband’s favorite dishes! When asked what he would like for his birthday meal, this has been his answer two years running. So how do you have your favorite appetizer for dinner? You turn it into an entree!
Satay is simply a grilled, marinated meat that is very common through out southeast Asia. It is usually served on a skewer with a peanut dipping sauce and sometimes a cucumber and onion salad.
What makes it so special is that it just explodes with complementary flavors and textures. The meat is first marinated in a coconut and curry mixture and then grilled to perfection. The peanut sauce is creamy and slightly sweet with a hint of salty heat and a light crunch. The cool texture of the cucumbers and onions adds a crunchy bite of sweet heat that enhances every mouthful.

Cock with wine? Really? Well, that is the literal translation for Coq Au Vin and it caught your eye, didn’t it?
