Summer Summer Summer Time.....

What a wonderful MN Sunday! As The Hubby & I rollerbladed (its our new thing) around the neighborhood today I could not help but notice everyone outside doing something!
My list a wonderful today:
-Church
-Lunch with the Nixons , love you guys!
-Cleaning up my garden
-Cleaning & pricing stuff in the garage for our up coming sale
-Rollerblading with The Hubby
-BBQ dinner & DQ desert

Marinated BBQ chicken & pineapple
3-4 breasts of thawed chicken
1-1 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
dash of soy sauce
2 Tb pineapple juice (optional, but orange or lemon works too!)
dash of garlic salt or minced garlic, about 1 tsp
*Sliced or cubed pineapple (canned or fresh)

Mix all ingredients together, pour over chicken and marinate 8 hours or over night. (I had planned on cooking this on Friday night, so mine had been marinating since Friday AM)

Place on grill and cover with 1 slice or 3 cubes of pineapple. (We also made pineapple kabobs with the extra) Grill till thoroughly cooked and serve.

*Side note about the garage clean up: Last year I received about 3 boxes full of my Grandma Shoberg's stuff (she passed about 7 yrs ago) my mom thought I might like. Well I went through them right away and kept a lot but have not gone back. Today when I went back to make final decision on on what to keep or sell I found the most adorable Watermelon melamine dishes set! I'm really into dinnerware... mostly glass, pottery and porcelain.... but how fun for summer! I washed it up & we even used some of it for dinner tonight. :)

Happy Sunday everyone! Keep on Cooking!
