My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Grilled Orange Chicken Fingers

This is a recipe kids are sure to love.  Serve this with carrot and celery sticks with Ranch dip and you'll have the perfect warm weather dinner for the family.

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts (trimmed of fat)
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1 1/2 Tbsp frozen orange-juice concentrate (thawed)
1 1/2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
salt to taste

Cut chicken crosswise into 3/4" wide strips.  Whisk together mustard, orange juice concentrate, honey, sesame oil and pepper in a medium bowl until smooth.  Add the chicken and toss to combine.  Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat grill.  Lightly oil rack or coat with nonstick cooking spray.  Remove the chicken strips from the marinade, discarding remaining marinade.  Grill until no longer pink in the center, 2 - 3 minutes per side.  Season with salt and serve.
