Honey Dijon Mustard

My whole life I have chosen mustard over ketchup. I eat mustard with my fries, chicken nuggets, and on sandwiches. I LOVE mustard! I recently got this product: 



It is now one of my new favorite dipping sauces! Naomi even likes it on chicken! This is different than the normal honey mustard I get because it's got a little more zing from the Dijon and isn't AS sweet. 

Jeff and I love to grill out when the weather gets nicer. I've got a great recipe to use this sauce in! This recipe is for Honey Mustard Mozzarella Chicken (adapted from an All Recipes recipe)

Ingredients:
-4 chicken breasts
-1(8.1 oz) bottle of Maille Honey Dijon
-2 tbl. mayonnaise
-1 tsp. steak sauce

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together in a Ziploc bag. I pour all of it into the bag, zip it closed, and then squish it until it's completely mixed. I then pour a little into a separate Ziploc bag to use as dipping sauce later! Next marinade the chicken for at least 1 day. Once fully marinated grill for about 18-20 minutes turning occasionally. It's a good idea to baste the chicken while you're grilling. While this is grilling slice 4 pieces of mozzarella cheese. Once the chicken is done cooking place the mozzarella slices on the chicken for about 2 minutes until it is bubbly on top. Then enjoy!

Jeff and I really like this meal with grilled squash or grilled corn. Go here to get some of this delicious honey dijon mustard to try this recipe for yourself!

Wasabi Edamame

I’ve got another great afternoon snack for you, especially if you like spicy things! Jeff and I were fortunate enough to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon and a tour guide introduced me to wasabi peas. I absolutely loved them and stopped to get some for the ride home. Since then I’ve gotten them a couple times as a special snack for myself. I found a new treat:





Spicy Wasabi Edamame. It tastes very similar to the wasabi peas, but with some different benefits. The Edamame has 11 grams of protein in just one serving! I like snacks with protein because they help me to feel fuller for longer. The serving size is ½ the package, but that’s about all I can personally eat. These pack a spicy kick and after ½ the package I’ve had my full and ready to down some water. If you’re a person who REALLY likes spicy food you may be able to eat the whole package and could get 22 grams of protein! There’s also iron, fiber, and low sugar (only 1 gram). Another thing I like about this product is it is Non-GMO. The full ingredient list is: soybeans, sea salt, and wasabi powder (wasabi oil, dextrin). That’s it- just 5 ingredients with no harmful chemicals.
