Here at the Café we feel sad when we see food go to waste. 😥

Whether it is a crisp fry that somehow got lost during the devouring stage or leftover green onions that have begun to spoil in the vegetable keeper.

Wilted green onions look dodgy on Café favorites like our recipes for: Peanut Chicken Ramen, Tex-Mex McMuffin or Mexicana Chili.

But they are perfect for using in marinades that make tender grilled chicken taste like a thing of beauty!

Don’t have any chicken on hand? Neither did I.

Make and freeze the two marinades so you have them when you need them.

Without having to say any sad goodbyes to food gone to waste. Happy cooking!
