((Intro

In an attempt to organize all my recipes and share them with fellow cooks and bakers, I've started a blog. Initially my recipes were a collection from friends, family, cookbooks, magazines and yes, even newspapers! Now many of my recently acquired recipes are adapted from blogs and cooking show websites.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope that along the way you enjoy a few of my recipes and make them some of your favorites too!

Count the memories, not the calories!

Marinated Greek Chicken Kebobs

This marinade works well with boneless chicken breasts as well as kebobs. Tzatziki is a nice addition to the meal.

1½- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes
¼ plus olive oil
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp dried basil
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp ground coriander
salt and pepper to taste

Optional:
2 large red peppers, diced into 1¼ “ pieces
3 small zucchini, sliced into rounds about ½” thick
1 large red onion, diced into 1¼” wedges

In a bowl, whisk together ¼ cup olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oregano, basil , thyme, coriander and salt and pepper to taste.  Place chicken in a gallon size resealable bag, pour olive oil mixture over chicken and press chicken into marinade.  Seal bag and refrigerate 45 to 2 hours (no longer than 2 hours due to acidic ingredients).

Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Thread chicken on skewers,  If desired, toss a red bell pepper, red onion and zucchini with 2 tbsp oil and thread on skewers. Grill chicken, about 7-9 minutes, rotating once halfway through cooking.
