That Girl Guide

You may be surprised that I suggest you purchase marinades.  But there are some very high quality products out there and your guests will never be the wiser.  I am going to post a link to some great marinades below.  They are wonderful on chicken, fish, or even pork. 

The great thing about these is you can use the sauce to repeat the flavors throughout your meal.  You can use it as a salad dressing and on the meat or fish.  This takes the guesswork out of determining whether the flavors of your main course and side dishes will work. 

Visit eclecticgrocer.com for more information or to purchase these fabulous marinades/Salad Refreshers (dressings).

You just spoke with some of your close friends and were pleased to learn they are available for dinner tonight.  Then it sets in – my friends will be here for dinner tonight.  Don’t panic!  Think about enhancing your meal with a store bought sauce.  They will wonder how you pulled together such a wonderful meal on such sort notice.  You should always have some products like this and some chicken or fish in the freezer in case you pull together a party on a moment’s notice.
