Savvy with Abbie

Well I thought I took more photos of the Jamaican Jerk Chicken but I guess I only have a few of the final product. This is another recipe from DaVita which is our new favorite for kidney-friendly recipes. We let this marinade overnight. We replaced onion with onion powder, garlic cloves with garlic powder, we did not use a chili pepper or habanero, and didn't use green onions. We also used ground ginger in place of fresh ginger. It turned out really really good as we baked it and then broiled it. The DaVita recipe calls for grilling but we decided to bake instead. We served ours with white rice and macaroni and cheese - although a kidney doctor/dietician recommended jasmyne rice instead of white rice so we tend to eat jasmyne rice when we can. Because I didn't add any chili peppers or anything spicy, it was more on the sweet side but still had a good balance. Would make this again!  Ingredients:  1 tbsp onion powder 2 tsp ground ginger 1 tbsp garlic powder 2 tbsp white vinegar

My goal today is to write two food blogs to catch up before Mom comes into town tomorrow and I'm going down to San Luis Obispo to visit her and family later this week. A few nights ago I made this Jamaican Jerk Chicken with rice and broccoli. This Jamaican Jerk Chicken is kidney-friendly and it's on page 13 of the link which is Davita - this is where I've been getting most of my recipes from lately. This recipe has a little bit of a kick but it's super delicious with a marinade that sits in the fridge for 8+ hours. I didn't take a lot of photos because I was starving and kinda forgot ;) I used onion powder instead of a yellow onion, eliminated the habaneros, and used white wine vinegar instead of white vinegar.  Ingredients: 6 medium green onions 1 tbsp onion powder 2 tsp ground ginger 2 tbsp minced garlic 2 tbsp white wine vinegar  1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp vegetable oil 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tsp thyme 1 tsp ground allspice 1/4 tsp pepper 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/
