Honestly I hate Chicken! No, really I do. There is just something about it I do not like. Perhaps it is the fact of growing up and being told nearly all my food on my plate taste like chicken, such as snake, frog, rabbit. Growing up on a farm, we were told lots of things tasted like chicken. So, really that could have played a big part, I was traumatized perhaps by it. lol, or maybe not, either way, I don't like it much. Then again chicken is cooked a lot in my house, and yes, by me. Why? Because my husband and children like it. So I am always hunting for a new way to cook chicken, to cover it in something so I will eat it. I am a faithfully devoted pinterester, I hunt the site daily for new stuff to make, eat or what not. Just my great luck I stumbled across a pin for 7-up chicken. Only four ingredients and of one of them (the horseradish), I really wasn't sure, but said to heck with it and tried it anyways. Let's just say, I actually ate a full piece of chicken and was quite happy with it. The recipe is from a Blog called Six Sisters Stuff and you can find their blog here http://www.sixsistersstuff.com. I have been browsing through their blog for the last two days and they have some wonderful stuff posted, (and some great chicken :D ). So here you go a wonderful chicken recipe. Picture to follow once, I can find my regular camera.
1/2cup Soy sauce
1/2tsp Horseradish - I used the real stuff not the creamy style - Use more if you like
12 oz can of 7-up
1/4cup Vegetable oil.
To tell you the truth I used a 1/2 cup instead of horseradish and I think it worked perfectly. I let mine marinade in a gallon ziplock bag for a least 8 hours and next time, yes there will be a next time, quite soon in fact, I will let it sit for at least overnight. I fired up my small gas grill the hubby bought just for me and tossed that wonderful smelling chicken on and cooked it till it was done. Mhmmm, let me tell you, it was amazing and I will certainly be trying more of their recipes in the next few weeks.

Summer life
For many of you your children have just started their summer vacation, us not so much. Our last day of school was in May, we have already passed numerous weeks of Cub scout and specialty camps, and more time spend reminding mom that they are bored. Which honestly isn't so bad, because at their ages I can tune them out and do something better with my time, like pinning on Pinterest or hunting for new recipes to try. I've been doing just that, well in between the piles of laundry that always seem to appear and the house always needing a sweeping, washing and dusting. In just a few moments, you will find the one of the best chicken marinades for BBQ'ing with.
