Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Total Time: 27 minutes

Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 chicken breasts, skin removed
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 bottle Jarritos Tamarind Soda
• 1 tablespoons brown sugar

Preparation:

Place soda in saucepan, and bring to a rolling boil. Allow to reduce down 1/4 before you add brown sugar, Tabasco, lemon juice, and onions.

Serve over rice, egg noodles, or even spaghetti, for a sweet and spicy treat, in just minutes!

The jury is out on the most common pregnancy craving; at least the polls here at Cute-Ecakes have determined it to be a 5 way tie...hmmm. This caught my eye however, and since I am such a fan of the sweet and salty combo, I'm thinking it will look good to a pregger too! Easy. Kid friendly. Satisfies the fruit, the potato chip, the candy all in one? The winner this week is from my number one go to location for recipes, Allrecipes.com . I love that you can type ingredients you HAVE, and they will return recipes in the ingredient search!

Pregnancy Cravings KICKED: Recipe finds

Health specialists aren't exactly sure why pregnant women experience cravings in early pregnancy, but I've always imagined that whatever I wanted, the baby needs. That being said, if you are consuming an entire chocolate cake, this may not be the case! For each pregnancy, I've experienced different cravings.
