Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  2. Place bag in the fridge and let chicken marinate for 4-8 hours (or even overnight).
  3. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
  4. Place chicken on grill over medium-high heat, cooking about 5-6 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F.
  5. We served ours with grilled asparagus - just drizzle some olive oil on your asparagus and sprinkle garlic salt on top, then grill for 2-3 minutes or until tender.

Strawberry Yogurt Bark

Strawberry Granola Yogurt Bark

Ingredients
  • 24 oz container of greek yogurt (I used vanilla, but you can use plain if you want)
  • 2 teaspoons of honey
  • 1 cup of strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup of granola
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl (or even in the yogurt container), mix together honey and yogurt.
  2. Spread the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13" pan that has been covered in aluminum foil.
  3. Sprinkle the strawberries and the granola over the top of the yogurt, slightly pressing it into the yogurt with your hands.
  4. Freeze for about 1 hour, or until completely frozen.
  5. Remove from freezer, and cut into about 12 slices (I used a pizza cutter). Serve immediately, or keep in freezer in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 30 days.
