Ingredients
Wooden/Metal skewers
Meat choice (chicken, lean steak)
Choices of veggies (tomatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms)
Instructions
Cube up meat and marinate in your choice of free seasonings or sauces in a ziploc bag for a couple hours. For my seasonings I truly just pull random stuff out of my fridge and cabinets. Lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, whatever you heart desires.  Cut pepper and onion in squares. One at a time skewer meat and veggies one at a time until full. Place on grill and cook until done/tender.

1 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp minced carrots
1 Tbsp minced onion
1 tsp minced bell pepper
1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp liquid aminos

In a skillet, place olive oil and warm on medium heat. Add in minced veggies and cook until tender; stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic & stir. Put the rice in a pan and add 1 cup of water & soy sauce. Cover and simmer on low for 5-10 minutes or until rice is tender; stirring occasionally. Remove from pan and enjoy.

Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips. Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that. A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other. && everyday your marriage can get better. I look back on the day I married my husband and never thought I could love him more, but here I am today with a heart so full. Each day that loves grows. Some days I want to punch him in the throat. Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other. We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us. If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give ...

$10 Tuesday | Beer Butt Chicken

Weird, right?!? It sounds so gross but y'all it tastes so good. This is one of my summer favorites but now Ill grill it or bake it to help me prep food for the week. It makes the chicken so juicy and not dry one bit! Ingredients: Whole Small Chicken: varies $5 to $7 A can of Bush Light: .63 cents 2 Tablespoons real butter: .05 Mrs. Dash Seasoning: $ 2.62 (optional) Total: 7.68 (or 10.30 with the Mrs Dash) Directions Before preparing the chicken, open the package then take the bag out of the chicken. (That little package has the gizzards, neck and liver? in it. I don't eat those things so I just throw them out). With an empty chicken, grab a can of beer. My dad says the rule is to take a big drink, but I'm not a beer fan so instead of drinking it, I pour a little bit into a bowl and set aside. Your beer should still be 3/4 of the way full. If you are baking the chicken, then you adjust your racks in our oven to fit the chicken if its standing. You put the beer in the...
