Lemon Garlic Marinade (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo, Whole30)

When I went grocery shopping last Sunday, I got some boneless pork ribs. I almost bought a bottle of lemon garlic marinade for the ribs but decided not to get it.

I decided to make my own lemon garlic marinade for the ribs instead of buying that bottle.

When I served dinner last night, Hubby was delighted with the ribs. Since there were a couple left over, he claimed them as his own for our left over night. So I think this marinade is a winner.

This marinade would be good on pork chops, boneless pork ribs, pork roast, or even chicken breast.

Bonus: It’s Whole30 friendly.

Oh, and I finally figured out how to make my recipes printer friendly. That’s been a big problem during the 7 years I’ve had this blog.

Forgotten Chicken

I’ve made this dish twice. The first time, we ate it but didn’t quite enjoy it. After we had it the second time, the Wee One thanked me for cooking it. The next day, he ran out to my car after I pulled up in the driveway after work. He wanted to eat the left overs for dinner that night.

Cashew Chicken (Day 22)

Welcome to Day 22 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking.

Your pets least likable character trait.

It’s thundering outside. The rain is pouring. Suddenly lightening lit up the sky.

No one’s home but the dog. He needs comfort from the scary storm outside. So what he does he do?

Does he run and hide in the bedrooms of the family members?

No, he decides to run through the doggy door into the backyard where it’s wet, loud, and dark and then bright when lightening lights up the sky.

He goes to his secret hole in the fence that no one can find.to patch up.

Then he runs to grandma’s house.

Either he finds a little hole in the fence and runs into her backyard to her doggy dog. He escapes the bad storm.

Or he stands at the side door whimpering until someone lets him.

Meanwhile, his owners get a call from grandma telling them that their dog is at her house.

This is one of our dog’s least likable trait. We can’t believe that he doesn’t run and hide during thunderstorms. Instead he will run over to my mother-in-law’s house.

When we leave for the day, we have to check the weather before leaving. If the weather calls for rain, the doggy door will be shut so he doesn’t run to grandma’s house.

It’s early in the morning. People are trying to sleep. All of the sudden you start to hear squawking coming from the living room.Or you hear “Nich-o-las,” “”Get off the Computer,” and “Beak Bump.”

You can not sleep because the bird is insistent someone come and pay attention to him.

Then there is the mess all around the stand. He thinks there are imaginary birds sitting on the ground. So he throws food to those imaginary birds.

This is my son’s bird’s least likable trait. He likes people to pay attention to him. If they don’t, he will either start squawking or talking up a storm until someone pays attention to him.

What is your pet(s)’s least likable traits?

Cranberry Chicken (Day 20)

Welcome to Day 20 of 31 Days of Slow Cooking!

I decided to Google a writing prompt for today because I was coming up blank on what I should write. I found a website called Massive Sway that had writing prompts for each day in October. So I’m using today’s writing prompt.

What do you like to do on a dark and stormy day?

Last night as soon as the Wee One had soon left for his acrobatic lesson with his grandma, the dog decided he was going to jump on me. He was breathing on me and shaking like crazy. Why was he doing that? It was getting ready to storm.

I was working on progress reports at that time so I finished working on them. Then I took a bath and just relaxed.

The rest of the night was stormy. It made for good sleeping weather. However I kept getting interrupted by the dog walking into my room, jumping onto my bed (something he’s not suppose to do), walking around my head, and then jumping off the bed. He did that a few times before finally settling down for the night.

It continued raining throughout today while the temperature was dropping. I wish I wasn’t at work because it would be a good day to just relax, read a book, and cook some cookies or brownies. On a rainy day, it’s nice to make soup in the slow cooker.

In fact, I had made taco soup last night. We had more of the soup for dinner tonight.
