I have always loved marinating chicken with vinegars the high acidity breaks down the chicken and leaves a much more tender and flavorful bite. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family and I…

Continue ReadingIt’s a strange time in the world and meat counters and grocery stores are bare! My most favorite recipes have been born out of literally using something I have on hand and this is a winner!! Creative cooking is the best! When I compose new recipes I think of adding the elements that will hit all the tastebuds!
