Here's something easy that kids like: teriyaki skirt steak (traditional japanese marinade from scratch, no jar stuff) rice and cucumber salad.

That's for tomorrow. Tonight is a grilled chicken salad.

Let me know if you want to know how to make the sauce, EGB.

Made a new pizza last night. Its pretty simple. It is a bacon and shallot marmalade pizza. I make my own dough but you can buy fresh made dough in most grocery store's bakery cooler.

Bacon and shallot marmalade:

Half a package of thick cut bacon diced
6 -8 large shallots thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 apple cidar vinegar
shaved basil

cook bacon to crisp then remove leaving fat;
add shallot and garlic and cook to translucent;
add vinegar to deglaze then add syrup and sugar;
cook stirring occasionally to reduce to a thick consistency.

While you roll out the dough place the marmalade mixture in the freezer to solidify it. Once the dough is ready and the mixture is thick scoop out and place in mounds on the dough (it will spread when cook and make the "sauce." Top with fresh sliced moz and cook at 450 for about 7 - 10 minutes. I top with shaved fresh basil.

This pizza is like crack. The marmalade recipe makes more than you will need for the pizza and it is also great on burgers and pulled pork.
