As promised, here's post number two about using what we've got on hand to make dinner. Tonight's special: Butt Massage Chicken, black bean burgers, and a random knish (did I spell that right?), all grilled up by my handsome guy.

By now you may be asking yourself "what the (insert four letter word) is Butt Massage Chicken?". I hate to even say, only because I know you all will think I've for some creepy obsession with the Lady herself, Paula Deen.

I don't.

But I do like her....a lot. :)

Paula is dear to my heart. Like me, she's from Georgia, though her town is easier to pronounce (I'm from Hephzibah- say that three times fast ha!). Like me, she's got a love for food and family. And very much like me, she's a hoot and a half. :)

For Christmas my awesome dad and stepmom sent me a bottle of her "Butt Massage", essentially a sweet and spicy BBQ rub. It's divine.

Tonight I used it to create a marinade for the chicken breasts I had in the freezer from the last sale. It came out great. Here's what I did:

1/2 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 cup fat free Italian dressing
1 tsp liquid smoke
2-3 tbs Paula Deen Butt Massage seasoning

Combine all ingredients- marinade chicken for 30 minutes. Grill until done.

The chicken was spicy, smoky and sweet- perfect for our al fresco pool side dinner. I'm looking forward to leftovers on a green salad for lunch tomorrow. :)
