If you're like me you spend most of the day trying to think "What's for dinner?". Sometimes I want to try something new or even just remember a good family favorite. I created this blog as a quick and easy way to help jog my memory and to share our family favorites across the web. My sister-in-law Marie and I post some of our most successful recipes with pictures. Bon Appetite!

Chicken Teriyaki Burgers and Steak Fry Sauce


Marinade the chicken breast in "Lawry's Teriyaki with Pineapple Juice Sauce." This sauce not only tastes great but it will marinade in 30 minutes. Next, grill the chicken then half way through grilling the chicken, grill the pineapple rings. When the chicken is finished, put the Swiss cheese on it and then place it on a ceramic plate on the top rack of the barbeque grill so that the cheese can melt without dripping into the grill and the ceramic plate keeps the chicken hot while the chicken sets before eating. Finally, the fry sauce uses "Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy" with mayonnaise added to it. You can find the Famous Dave's barbeque sauces in most grocery stores now. Lastly, you have to use mayonnaise (not miracle whip) on the bun with a little teriyaki sauce mixed into it and your favorite lettuce and or tomato topping!
