The Mayra Files: One kabob, two kabob, three kabob, four!

Week 22 & Week 23 (June 2 & June 9)

I've been neglecting this blog, I know. I don't know what it was about June that has kept me so busy, but it has. So now that we are half way through July (I KNOW, can you believe it!), I thought I'd better catch up! So here we go again:

Since we eat so much chicken, we decided to try out two new marinades and make kabobs.

Lately we've been running to Whole Foods to get our exercise in for the day and pick up dinner. I saw the Honey Mustard Chicken and Veggie Kabobs marinade in their weekly bulletin and decided to give it a try.

The honey mustard marinade was very easy and only required a few main ingredients: honey mustard, lemon, EVOO and salt/pepper.

The second marinade was from the June Real Simple magazine. The recipe was for Soy-glazed fish with sauteed summer squash, but I thought it would be good on chicken so we decided to try it as well. This recipe was also very simple and required a few main ingredients: brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, EVOO and salt/pepper.

While the chicken was marinading, I soaked the skewers. Did you know that if you soak the skewers for 15-20 minutes, it makes the items on the kabobs easier to slide off? Try it, it really works!
