Friday's Last Spoonful: Versatile Mustard

Getting wild with marinade
Need an alternative to those bottled barbecue sauces? The Mixed Stew crew suggests using mustard in the marinade to change things up for everyone’s taste buds. Try the blend on some chicken drumsticks the next time you take out the grill. Place the seasoned chicken in the refrigerator overnight for stronger flavors. We like combining mustard with chopped yellow onions and soy sauce to make a sauce with zing. Take flavors in a different direction by combining mustard with your favorite herbs, such as rosemary and thyme. Another simple idea is to combine mustard, garlic powder, and onion powder. We haven't tried mixing it with cider vinegar, but that might be our next experiment.
