Hang with me as there may be a string of healthy recipes (hence another recipe this week…this time Banana Cherry Chewy Granola Bars). It’s where my life is right now! I actually have the time (basketball season is over and track hasn’t started yet) to focus a little bit more on me, which means working on making healthy whole food taste better than the processed junk!  I’m in my 3rd round of the 21 Day Fix and it’s tough getting back into the swing of things, but I am quickly reminded at how much I can eat when I eat the good stuff!  Seriously…check out that collage of pictures!  That’s the meals I’ve been eating this past week!!

Chicken Marinade & Roasted Sweet Corn

Chicken Marinade & Roasted Sweet Corn

Some recipes come from nowhere and some recipes come from our heritage!  This chicken marinade recipe might not be my heritage, but it does come from my childhood!

My brother and I grew up in a home where food was important!  Not in a “eat your feelings” type of way, but in a “we show love by cooking” type of way!  Both of my grandmothers were amazing cooks!  My Grandma S was a phenomenal baker and our mother learned well!  She still is the best baker & cook I know!  I’m envious of her abilities some days!

Cooking is in my blood!

Both my brother and I grew up helping in the kitchen, learning the ways of cooking & baking.  Some of my best memories from growing up were in the kitchen with my mom!  One time my brother brought home a marinade recipe and it became quite popular in our house.  To this day, I honestly don’t have any idea where he got it, but when I found it in the back of my recipe box the other day, I knew I had to have it again!
