Mini Freezer Cooking Day: Marinades

February 19, 2014 By Ligia

I found some great deals on chicken thighs and legs at the grocery store. The packages were 50% off. So I paid around $12 for two trays of chicken legs and one tray of thighs. They had to be frozen soon so I decided to have a mini Freezer Cooking day and  make some marinades.

These are the easiest marinades:

Garlic Dijon

2 cloves garlic, minced

4T Dijon mustard

2T Lime juice

Mix in a bowl.

I put 7-8 chicken pieces into a Freezer Gallon size ziploc and pour the marinade over it. To get the air out of the bag, zip it  3/4 of the way and then squish gently against your body and then zip all the way. I like to freeze the bag laying down on each other so I always double check my zipper!

I also made the Lemon Chicken which I shared here.

Here it is again:

Lemon Chicken

1 t/ dried thyme leaves

1 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

1/8 t. garlic powder

1/3 c. lemon juice
Here is one I didn’t make today, but it is also a favorite.

Honey Glazed

1/4 c. butter, melted

1/8 c. soy sauce

1/2 c. honey

Same procedure as above.

I ended up with two bags of chicken pre-marinated, two bags of chicken legs (no marinade) and one bag of thighs. Not bad for $12.
I am sharing this recipe on Gluten Free Wednesdays.

Journey into Homeschooling High School

February 17, 2014 By Ligia

I can’t believe that my darling girl will be starting high school. (Technically she already did since she is taking high school level classes right now). However, I haven’t officially called her a 9th grader and she is still doing some eight grade studies.I can’t believe I am going to be homeschooling high school! Especially since I only thought I would be homeschooling through junior  high.  I’ve been buying some resources to get started. Here are my newest books:

This is a great book! The author is coming to my area in March so I am excited to be attending her workshop.

This book is recommended in the The High School Handbook and I bought it for 20 cents on Amazon!
