Ok, it's a day late, but not a dollar short.  Ok, so that was a bit cheezy.  This morning, I am posting the recipe and my review of last night's dinner.  Sadly, I slaved over the hot stove making a dinner I did not get to eat until hours AFTER it was done because I had a meeting I needed to be at.  When I dragged into the house and finally sat down to devour what I had made, it was 11:00 pm and I am not sure what actually made it to the taste buds.  I am pretty sure I liked the food that was put in front of me and I was assured by my hubs that everyone else thought it was great.  

For the main course, I followed the original recipe except for one minor detail...this is supposed to be for wings.  I am not a fan of wings...too much work, not enough meat.  So, I used chicken legs instead.  The cooking time is longer since there is more meat...so be aware of whatever you choose to make.  

A couple things I would change is first of all, I would use a low sodium soy sauce.  I am not a fan of soy sauce, and, so, I do not buy it often.  It never occurred to me to get the low sodium sauce.  It was a bit salty.  Also, be prepared.  Our house smelled like soy sauce for HOURS.

I planned on serving this meal with some fresh green beans, but we had a guest over who just got braces, so I opted for mashed potatoes.  Our mashed potatoes are a basic recipe: boil some potatoes, mash them up with sour cream, butter, plenty of pepper, plenty of garlic salt, and some cheese.  YUM.  I also made some Hawaiian bread to go with it (which, I have not even had the pleasure of eating yet...was so tired, I forgot it).  I am including the recipe below, as well.

So, I will definitely keep this recipe.  I think it would be really good grilled.  Let me know what you think!!

    I LOVE TO COOK

    It amazes me how many people do not love to cook.  I love it.  There is nothing quite so exhilarating as preparing a meal and having your family loving what you have prepared.  I am often asked what I cook and for my recipes.  I love pinterest and get many of my recipes there. I will now post what's cooking here...hopefully you can be inspired, from the very easy to the more involved.
