Notes
- Buy your favorite honey mustard marinade at the store or, to make your own: simply combine 1/2 cup mustard (any kind you prefer will work!) with 1/2 cup honey, 3-4 tablespoons olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder), salt & pepper together in a food processor or blender and blend (if using garlic powder, you can simply whisk with a fork).
