Tasty Thursdays: Grilled Sesame Chicken Breast

The following recipe from Fast Recipes serves for 4 people, and shows you how to make grilled sesame chicken breasts. I personally haven't tried it myself but it does sound easy to make!

Ingredients:
  • 1 Tbs. Brown Sugar or brown sugar substitute;
  • 3 Tbs. Reduced-sodium soy sauce;
  • 1 Tsp. Sesame seeds;
  • 1 Tbs. Sesame Seeds;
  • 2 cl Garlic; chopped
  • 1/8 Tsp. Black pepper; Fresh
  • 4 oz. Chicken breast halves; - with skin removed
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except chicken in a shallow dish. Mix well. Add chicken, turning to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours. Remove chicken from marinate. Put the marinade aside. Grill 4 to 5 inches from medium-hot coals for 15 inches from medium-hot for 15 minutes. Turn and baste frequently with reserve marinade.

Over the weekend we celebrated our 3rd and final Thanksgiving. You would think I'd be turkeyed out, but they were all so different. (the first was Italian, second traditional, and this last one was all organic and gluten free.) They were all amazing and I am so thankful for having such a large and wonderful family!

I decided to wear my bow sweater that I've held onto now for over 3 years. I only wear it a few times a year and it still works year in and year out. LOVE items of clothing like that! I paired it with a dark jean and some great black and gold tone jewelry.

Did anyone else have more then one Thanksgiving to attend?

Stuffed Egg Plant

One big eggplant,
2 teaspoons of bread crumbs,
chopped parsley and dill (one teaspoon each),
one small onion,
one egg,
olive oil, salt & pepper.

Cut the eggplant in half and carefully spoon out the flesh leaving a circa 1 cm thick layer.
Blanch the empty halves.

Fry the insides until soft and then add chopped onion and keep it on heat until it sweats.
Take off heat and allow it to cool down. In a bowl combine it with bread crumbs, egg, parsley, dill, salt and pepper.
Stuff the eggplants with the mixture and bake in a preheated up to 180 degrees oven for circa 30 minutes.
