Chicken Breasts with Orange/Mustard Glaze               Time: 25 minutes

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp dry mustard
1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce
2 tbs orange marmalade

Mix Teriyaki sauce and mustard well with a whisk, add marmalade.  Pour over chicken breasts and let marinate for 10 - 20 minutes or longer.  Either cook 10 - 15 minutes on barbecue grill or under broiler (4 inches ) for 6 - 8 minutes a side.  They should be nicely browned and juices should run clear when pierced with a knife.  They could also be baked for 30 minutes @350F (180C).  All times depend on size and thickness - test!

German Potato Salad, leftover                                       Time: 5 minutes

leftover German potato salad

Remove from fridge and let warm to room temperature.  You could reheat in the microwave if you want but I like it as it.

Lettuce and Walnut Salad                                             Time: 10 minutes

lettuce, enough for two small salads
1/4 cup Balsamic dressing  leftover from last night
1 tbs fresh herbs  whatever is lurking in the fridge or looks good in the garden
1 oz (30gr) walnuts halves 

Prepare lettuce and put into a medium bowl.  Add a bit of dressing and toss to coat (use tongs, it's easier).  Taste and add more dressing if desired.  Add herbs and walnuts, give it another toss or two and serve.
