I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Mock Chick Fil-a Grilled Chicken Sandwich Delux

If you are not a pickle lover, don't let the pickle juice scare you.   It won't come out tasting like dill pickles.   If you don't believe me, then substitute with apple cider vinegar.  I like to pair this with either grilled steak fries, sweet potato fries, or waffle fries.
