Flank Steak with Mango and Pineapple Salsa

Taking dinner to a dear friend who has spent the last two weeks at the hospital with her baby. Hoping this flank steak fills up her hungry family! In a large ziplock bag add: Flank Steak 1/2 bottle of sesame soyaki sauce 3-4 gloves of chopped garlic 4 green onions, chopped Marinate the meat for at least 2-3 hours. Pull it out of the fridge so it gets to room temperature before you put it on the grill or Traeger. Grill on high (425) with the Traeger for about 6 minutes on one side and 2-3 on the other for medium rare. The best part about this recipe is the salsa that is homemade by.. Trader Joes and tastes amazing on steak. Have the salsa at room temperature and mix with a little red pepper for some kick and green onions to garnish the top. THAT WAS TOO EASY!

Baked Fried Chicken

This “Fried Chicken” is finger lickin’ good and not bad for your waist line! My husband and I ate boneless skinless chicken breasts and the kids love the drumsticks and thighs or “chicken bones” as my 7 year old likes to call them. Marinate chicken (your favorite kind) in buttermilk and a dash of hot sauce for an hour. I add 2 eggs directly to the buttermilk mixture and mix it around to coat the chicken. Meanwhile in a large plastic bag add 1/2 corn flakes and 1/2 potato chips (I used reduced fat kettle chips). Crush until you achieve your desired consistency. Add seasoned salt and pepper to dry mix but remember your potato chips are salty too. Dredge chicken in cornflake mixture until coated on both sides. Lay on greased cookie sheet. Add a dash of cayenne on top of the chicken for those who like it hot. Drizzle a little EVOO on top of each piece of chicken which will help crisp the top. Bake at 400 degrees for ? Sorry, I didn’t time it. ~20-30 minutes…
