    Last week I stashed the chicken breasts that I bought for $1.79/lb into the freezer in different baggies with different marinades.  For tonight’s dinner, I just took the chicken out of the freezer and let it marinate while it thawed in the fridge.

    Quick and simple!

      We make this too, although we use chicken legs, much cheaper when you are feeding 8 mouths!
      Have to go check out the rolls, I am a bread junkie!

      No green beans from your garden?? My tomatoes and yellow peppers are still coming in but they were late bloomers. I can’t wait to try again next year!

        They are “in between” rounds right now…not quite large enough to pick! Perhaps by week’s end!

      My son LOVES lemon pepper on practically anything. I’ve been having trouble getting him to eat solid meats (he’s fine with ground up meat in meatballs or sausage or meatloaf, etc). I’ll have to try this to see if the lemon pepper tempts him enough to eat chicken 😉

      I keep forgetting to take pictures, but I promise I’ll park my camera in the kitchen for next week 😉

      Lemon pepper is a great seasoning. I have a honey lemon pepper which is another great one. They can make the difference in a recipe.

      I use lemon pepper on chicken all the time… especially roast chicken, it is always popular.

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
