Don't you think it's about time that we create a Family Cookbook? Well, I DO! I've spent some time researching trying to come up with the easiest (free) way to get it going, and I believe this is it. Please post any of your favorite recipes, also any tips -- cooking, household, beauty, whatever -- and any inspirational thoughts (whether your own, or someone else's.) I would LOVE to have pictures to include as well. You could take pictures of the dishes/recipes you are submitting, or even just great pictures (or even below average pictures) of you and your family!

Please label each post with an appropriate label (i.e., salad, dessert, vegetarian, household tip, inspiration, etc.) Go ahead and add labels as needed; and it's ok to have more than one label per recipe/post.

My plan is to take what we assemble here, and put it into book form. I would love to have it ready for our Thanksgiving Extravaganza!

Spicy Honey Chicken

(adapted from Our Best Bites)

1-2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenders, breasts, or thighs
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Rub:
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder or smoked paprika

Glaze:
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon vinegar

Combine the rub spices in a bowl and mix well. (Note: I didn't have all the exact ingredients, so I threw in what I had.)

Pat chicken dry and place in a plastic bag, then drizzle with vegetable oil and work it around. Dump in rub and work it around until the chicken is thoroughly coated. Grill the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

While chicken is cooking, warm honey and vinegar in the microwave and stir well. Reserve 2T honey glaze for later. Take the rest of the glaze and brush it on the chicken (both sides) in the final moments of grilling.

Serve over rice or on sandwiches. Top with reserved glaze just before serving.
