Flank Steak (London boil) Marinate

I know I know, I have been horrible about posting new recipes. I don't really have a reason just haven't made time for it I guess. So today is my dad's birthday and we all gave him money for a new grill... so what is on the menu you ask??? Well some things that can be grilled of course! This recipe is from my grandma Love and I absolutely love it. It is simple and easy.

3/4 cup Salad Oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 TBS Honey
2 TBS Vinegar
1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ginger
1 onion chopped.

Soak any meat in this overnight then Cook... or grill in this case...

Chicken Broccoli Delight

Prep Time: About 45 minutes if chicken is uncooked
15-20 if you already have your chicken cooked
Cook Time: 35 to 40 minutes in oven ( I prefer cooking in the oven)
12 t0 14 minutes in the microwave

What you will need:
(2) 6-10oz packages of frozen broccoli
4 cups of chicken Cooked (I usually just boil mine for about 30 minutes) and cut into chunks
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup Sour cream
1 TBS Lemon Juice
1 tsp soy sauce
1/8 tsp garlic Powder
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 TBS melted butter
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese

How to make:

In a separate bowl combine cream of chicken soup, sour cream, lemon juice, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Cut cooked chicken into chunks and combine with sauce mixture. Layer the chicken and sauce mixture on top of the broccoli. Next melt butter in a small bowl. Once butter is melted add the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese to melted butter.

You can also heat up the casserole for about 12 to 14 minutes in the microwave if preferred

Mrs. Scadden

Ok this meal is simple, quick, and easy.
Prep Time: 10 minutes or less

What you will need:
Bag of Ranch Doritos
Can of Chili or homemade if you would like
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream
Lettuce (Optional)
diced Tomatoes (Optional)

How to make:
If you don't buy shredded cheese you will need to shred the cheese. Next heat up your can of chili (You will need as many cans of chili as you think it will take to feed your family). Next put it all together. It is kind of like a Mexican Haystack. First layer your plate with ranch Doritos, then add the chili, and layer with whatever other toppings you would like.

As a matter of fact I think we will be having this for dinner tonight since I have a bag of Doritos that is opened and needs to be used.

Hope you enjoy!
