Last week, I published my recipe for Teriyaki sauce. This week, I want to share some of the ways I use that recipe to make Teriyaki Chicken. It’s not uncommon for me to put all of the teriyaki sauce ingredients into a zip top bag before adding chicken. I put this bag into the freezer so that I have ready made teriyaki marinated chicken which can be cooked in a variety of different ways. One of the easiest ways to prepare this chicken is on the stove top. Put the chicken along with the marinade into a large diameter pan […]
I love teriyaki. In fact, it’s one of my favorite ways to season chicken and burgers, but I don’t like to buy teriyaki sauce.

Pouring this sauce over chicken pieces before freezing provides you with […]

Historically, they were stored for long periods hung upside down by their roots in an outside building or mulched in the gardens for families to enjoy well into the winter. Unfortunately, the cabbage you buy at your local grocer has been far too abused to last that long, but they will last for […]
This recipe began on a family vacation when my family wandered into a Hot N Juicy Crawfish Restaurant. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this franchise, they serve crab or seafood boils which allow you to select from a variety of different seafood as well as flavors such as Garlic Butter, Cajun Style, and Lemon Pepper. In addition to selecting the flavor, or flavors, the intensity of the spice is available from mild to extra spicy. In the tradition of a low country boil, the entire thing is served up on paper topped tables and you eat […]
