BBQ Grilled Chicken

I think summer is finally here in Minnesota!  It's been a loooooong winter and boy have I missed using the grill!  This is a great simple barbecue sauce for chicken and would work great for pork as well.  If you don't have a grill or it's the middle of winter and you have a craving, this also works wonderfully in the oven.  This recipe is good for approximately four chicken breasts.  Note:  I grill this on tinfoil that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Enjoy!

BBQ Grilled Chicken

1/4 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1/4 Cup Ketchup
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tsp Dried Thyme
1 Tsp Garlic Salt
1 Tsp Garlic Pepper

Mix all ingredients and coat your chicken.  Use left over to baste as you cook.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars

Ever remember at 10 pm that you needed to make a pan of bars for the next day?  Maybe for your child's class or a potluck?  Yeah, me either! ;)

This is more a "tip" than a recipe, but if you keep these 2 simple things in your pantry - you'll be ready the next time hectic schedules and life get the best of your memory.  Heck your 10-year-old  or husband could probably whip these up for you too!

So, what do you need in your cupboard...2 Betty Crocker cookie mixes (peanut butter and oatmeal) and some chocolate chips, M&M's, nuts, or whatever your heart pleases.

(And yes, you are seeing empty packaging...I may or may not have had to whip up a batch before I could take a picture of them new.)

And then you end up with these yummy, chewy, EASY bars!!

Enjoy!
