Any good healthy chicken marinades you guys have?
I usually buy organic chicken from Costco, just the boneless skinless breasts... I usually just grill it straight or stuff it and bake it. I'd like to marinate it then grill a bunch of it, but most of the marinades I see are loaded with sugars. Any suggestions?

Weighing Food Correctly
so, kind of a stupid question, but how do you weigh food properly? for example, do i weigh green beans when they are raw or cooked? if i have a frozen pizza, frozen french fries, or fresh packaged pasta, when it gives a weight per serving, is that as it comes, or once it has been cooked?
