Teriyaki Chicken Recipe is perfect for the busy holiday season! 

How are we already through half the month of September? Holy cow, the months are flying by. Before you know it, it will be Christmas. Did I just say the “C” word? I know. I know. It’s not nice to even mention that we’re only about 15 weeks away from the word that must not be named. If that doesn’t give you a myocardial infarction, I don’t know what will!
