Citrus Glazed Grilled Chicken

3 T Orange/Pineapple Marmalade 2 T Honey 3 T pineapple juice 2 T olive oil 1-2 cloves of garlic - minced 6-8 chicken thighs (I used bone in skin on, but you can do skinless/boneless too.  Just takes less time to cook) Kosher salt and fresh pepper - to taste In a small bowl, combine the marmalade, honey, juice, olive oil and garlic.  Whisk until well incorporated.  Prepare your grill before you fire it up, by spraying the grill with  Grilling Pam .  Make sure your grill is nice and hot.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper.  Place seasoned chicken on grill, skin side up.  Baste the skin with the glaze.  Grill the chicken for about 4 minutes, until nice grill marks are present and skin is golden brown.  Continue to baste during the 4 minutes.  When ready, turn the chicken and grill again for an addition 4-8 minutes, basting the other side with the glaze.   When chicken is done, remove from grill and pour the remaining glaze over the chicken.   

Magic Squares

Yummy Magic Squares - often called 7-layer bars. First put out by Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk I first discovered these treats when I was living in Rockland County New York and working as a nanny.  A nanny friend of mine made them for a party.  I was surprised I had never had anything like them, considering all of the sweets my mother baked throughout my 23 years, thus far. These 7 layer squares are what they are - seven layers of sugary goodness.  You can substitute crushed oreo cookie crumbs for the graham cracker crumbs; you can change out the butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips or white chocolate chips; walnuts for the pecans or a variety of nuts; but really, it is what it is and it is very very yummy! Magic Squares: 1/2 c melted butter 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (can use vanilla wafer crumbs or Oreo cookie crumbs) Melt butter.  Add crumbs to melted butter and mix thoroughly.  Pat the mix into a 9 x 13 baking pan sprayed with Pam. 1 6 oz
