Grilled Asparagus

This recipe is a go to for when we have company over.  I like to do this just straight on the grill but it works with the broiler as well or in a skillet. 

Ingredients:
1 bundle of fresh Asparagus
Olive Oil or Spray Canola
Salt and Pepper or Lemon Pepper

Directions:  Snap the ends off of the asparagus.  Generally I pick one piece up at a time and bend the last 3-4 inches and then the hard chewy end of the asparagus will pop off.  Place asparagus on plate or cookie sheet if you are doing it in the oven.  Drizzle with olive oil or spray with Canola/Pam.  Sprinkle asparagus with salt and pepper or Lemon pepper.  Place in/on hot grill or oven.  Turn after about 5 minutes, after another five minutes it should be good.  If you turn the asparagus too frequently it won't crisp up.  Enjoy.

Citrus Garlic Ginger Chicken Marinade

Since it is finally summer here in Minnesota my husband and I have been using our gas grill several times a week.  This recipe I came across and tweeked it to fit what I had in my fridge.  It is best to let the chicken marinade overnight to get more flavor but in a pinch it can be just marinaded an hour.  As long as you get the main ingredients you can add more or less of the juices to make it work for how much chicken you have. 

Ingredients:
Chicken Breasts
Juice of one orange (1/4 cup of OJ or OJ concentrate-watered down)
Juice of one lemon (1/4 cup of lemon juice from bottle)
1-2 Tablespoons of diced ginger (Whole ginger is found by lettuces in grocery stores)
2-3 Cloves of Garlic minced
water or 7-up to cover chicken

Directions:
Put everything in ziploc bag or container-mix.  Add chicken and refridgerate over night.  Grill.

Tasty Turkey Burgers

Unfortunately toting around a three month old really limits the quantity of food I purchase and the amount of time I can spend shopping.  I made it out to Target yesterday for the essentials:  Dog food, diapers, and a sympathy card-I planned on making it out to the grocery store as well, but alas Colby was getting hungry, so I was forced to buy my groceries at Target.  Their meat looked extremely nasty so I ended up finding the most appetizing thing I could find which was Ground Turkey.  Once again, I had no idea what to make with the Turkey, but after looking for awhile on the internet I found this recipe for Turkey burgers, delicious.
