Soy Chicken

Chicken breasts or thighs

1 clove garlic

Soy sauce

Thaw chicken if frozen, then place in a ziplock bag. Mince garlic and add to bag, then add soy sauce to coat. Squish bag around so garlic and soy sauce are well combined with chicken. Let sit for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Cook as desired.

*This is also my stir fry chicken recipe! Mix chopped chicken with garlic and soy sauce, and I let stand while I cook the veggies.

Berry Fruit Salad

Put this together for a barbeque with friends and it was a hit!

1 bag (2 lb) green grapes

1 carton (1 lb) strawberries

1 carton (1 dry pint) blueberries

1 carton (6 oz) raspberries

1 carton (6 oz) blackberries

A few hours before serving, wash fruit and remove any pieces that are squished, bruised, or otherwise un-appetizing:

Remove grapes from stems and place in a colander. Rinse under cool water and set aside.

Rinse raspberries and blackberries and place on paper towels.

Rinse whole strawberries in colander and transfer to paper towels.

Rinse blueberries in colander and set aside.

Let drain/dry for a few hours so fruit isn't wet when you assemble the salad (some water drops are okay).

To assemble:

Place grapes in large bowl. Slice strawberries lengthwise into thirds (or smaller to roughly match size of grapes). Toss together. Add blueberries and toss gently. Scatter raspberries and blackberries on top. Serve soon, without refrigerating.
