And this dreamy Monday morning we bring you…
This amazingly DELISH healthy teriyaki sauce with ginger and honey literally takes under 10 minutes to make. Say WHAAAAT?! Yep. It’s true, my friends. And not only that…
It’s rich, thick, and it packs a strong punch when it comes to AMAZE flavors. After all, what is cooking without flavor(s)?
We are all about some flavors around here y’all. Nothing we ever do is bland. Whether that be in real life or the kitchen. We are just crazy like that. It’s pretty much how I kept Beau sticking around- packing the flavors y’all. It is what it is. We’ll leave it at that.
Where were we? Oh, yeah- the healthy teriyaki sauce. I can’t think in this seriously ridiculous cold weather that’s happenin’ right now.
Let’s be real. It got cold here. For Florida. It was 45 this morning- and I’m chillingly waiting for the high of 58 today. I know. I know. I’m being a baby but I moved back to Florida for the warm weather- not the cold. Something about having the heat on in the house makes me not feel all that great. It’s like it’s fake. I guess heat and I have a love-hate relationship. While I hate it, I was so happy (and loving) it last night.
But, anyhow when I asked the fam what they wanted for dinner, I got the *WHATEVER* (one day I am really going to make and serve that).
So, I did what any lady would do and thought of something easy. I chose my awesome panda express teriyaki chicken this week, so momma here whipped up her homemade healthy teriyaki sauce to marinate the meat and stuff. But this stuff ain’t just limited to steak y’all.
We love it on any meat, seafood, and/or veggies. It’s that good.
