It is hard to believe that it is been a month since I last told you about my journey..

Well the weather has been grand and I have done a lot of BBQ..naturally gluten free..
Using GF BBQ sauce like Two Fat Guys..love this sauce. I can get it at Mariano's http://www.ilovetwofatguys.com/

But wait..the big news was Geoff graduated college... it was wonderful.

but back to food.. I did try some newish recipes..The latest one was Pineapple - Lemon Chicken, it was good and easy!

4 chicken breast halves
1 20 ounce can of crushed pineapple. ( I had a real pineapple and was gonna substitute, but when i cutted it, it had a small amount of mold. So I tossed it and went to Dominick's for a can.)
1 small lemon ( i forgot this and added a small amount of lemon juice)
1/3 cup catsup
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp bottle minced garlic ( 2 cloves)
1 tsp salt ( didn't add)
1/4 tsp dried rosemary, crushed ( forgot)
1 tsp cornstarch

Put the boneless, skinless chicken breast is a large Ziploc bag in a shallow dish. Why in a dish? It leaks some if like me you don't close it right) Mix in a medium bowl all the stuff but the cornstarch. Then add to the Ziploc bag, shake and let it sit for 2 - 24 hours.

Set up grill for indirect heating and add drip pan. When coals are medium hot,  Put chicken over the pan brush on some marinade that the chicken sat in, and cook covered 50 to 60 minutes. Turn chicken about 1/2 way in cooking and brush on more marinade.  When done take off the grill and put on a platter.

Put the rest of the marinade in a medium sauce pan and add the cornstarch. It will thicken quickly. Cook for 2 minutes. Spoon over chicken.

I made risotto and salad to go with it. You could make plain rice too.

Just finished the chicken, it made a great salad. ( cat liked it)

Tonight I am going to grill burgers, turkey burgers actually, and salad. Nothing fancy!
