This is one of those recipes that is so simple, it's almost hard to call it a recipe. So often I find fantastic, amazing, ummmm . . . complicated? recipes on Pinterest and think I need to keep up with all that. (Anyone else struggle with this one?)
In reality though, it's summertime, and I'm doing well just to keep my house from caving in and my kids away from bopping each other, so getting dinner on the table quick and easy makes my life a wee bit less stressful. This is one of those recipes that tastes like you've slaved away, but takes just a small amount of prep work. Plus you're eating at home, which is quite an accomplishment at our house many days!
My favorite way to make recipes like this one is to put the meat and marinade in the fridge in the morning, and then just bake it (or I'm betting you could grill it too?) in time for dinner at night. I actually only let this marinade for about thirty minutes yesterday though, and it turned out perfectly! Here's how to get dinner started at your house tonight . . .
