this recipe is very similar to my soy sauce chicken recipe, except it isn’t as saucy. 
my aunt makes it a lot, as it’s one of my cousin’s favorites, and it’s one of my favorites as well. the good thing to this recipe is that you don’t have to marinate it as long, and you don’t have to cook it as long either.
serves 2
1/3 C soy sauce
1/8 C sugar (or to desired sweetness, amount of sugar will depend on how salty the soy sauce is)
2 green onions, cut into 2 in pieces
3 slices of ginger
8 chicken wings, cut into 2 pieces each (16 pieces total, 8 drumettes and 8 wings)
- combine all the ingredients. coat the wings in the marinade. let it marinate for at least 2 hours (i usually start marinating it the morning i make the chicken).
- heat oven to 350.
- remove wings from marinade and place wings on sheet pan. (usually i line the pan with aluminum foil for quick cleanup). bake for 30-40 minutes (or until wings are done), flipping halfway through.

i grew a garden for the first time this year. i planted basil because i knew i wanted to make pesto. i made some today and it was delicious. i also made another batch of arugula pesto, and it was lovely as well. 
i like my pesto just tossed with some warm pasta.
serves 4 over 1 lb of pasta
2 C loosely packed basil leaves (you can use arugula as well)
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tsp salt
pepper
olive oil
1/2 C grated parmesan cheese
- in a food processor, or blender, add basil, garlic salt, and pepper.
- turn on the food processor (or blender). let the ingredients get chopped a little before adding the olive oil.
- slowly drizzle in the olive oil until desired consistency.
- add parmesan right before serving.
