C QUICK EATS


Hello, Its Friday and what I'm preparing tonite for the family since its such a good nite out I wanted to prepare something quick(of course) so I can have family time.

Marinated Chicken Strip salad

2c chicken tenderloins
2c sherry vinegar or the real thing
5c salad mix romaine, butter, iceberg
now if you do a bag mix it will come with other veggies as well
1c of shredded carrots
1/4c shredded cheddar cheese
1c cherry tomato
1/4c sliced cucumbers
1c croutons
choice of dressing (mine will be pomergranite walnut vinaigrette by Ken's)
seasoning

Rinse tenderloins and set in a bowl then add sherry vinegar set for about 2hrs ahead of time if possible, but if not just kinda roll them around in the sherry and seasoning. Cook tenderloins until done and then dice in chunks. Add salad mix to bowl or separate plates then sprinkle chicken, top with cheese, and croutons.
Now you can also toast some bread-sticks, garlic bread, or croissant rolls. Then enjoy.


WHEN ITS TOO HOT OUTSIDE

So since its still such awesome weather outside (kinda hot) I thought it would be great to get outside and put some meat on the grill and whip up some baked potato salad (sounds yummy doesn't it) and try some veggies on the grill. Yeah its my first time not sure how well the kiddos are gonna feel about it but, I can always put out ole faithful, green salad of course. Now I have this new citrus vinaigrette I purchased and another Pomergranite vinaigrette so I will marinate my steaks in some of the pomegranite vinaigrette, oh y0u didnt think I was gonna put that citrus on the beef oh no no no! I just wanted to tell you about it. Now I will boil about 6 hand size potatoes (red) since they are a smaller potato and once they are soft in the middle  peel the skin and now for the quick additives, seasoning (salt, pepper), bacon bits (real bacon) shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions, ranch  dressing, and sour cream. put that to the side and head to the grill. Now my steak have marinated and I will now put them on the grill and include some yellow/zucchini squash until done and SERVE!
 As always quick-fix cooking and later I'll play the wii with the kids. Until next time.

Steaks make sure you wash after taking out of the pkg
2c of marinade of your choice
seasonings I always use pepper and cajun seasoning
6 red potatoes
1c sharp shredded cheddar cheese
1c sour cream
1 small pkg hidden valley ranch dressing mix (powder)
1c real bacon bits
1/3c green onion
