You REALLY can make your own marinades in seconds.
Try a simple marinade for chicken of:
soy sauce (a few tablespoons)
Lemon juice (a teaspoon or two)
dash worchestershire sauce (optional)
A couple teaspoons brown sugar
Optional garlic (or garlic powder)
Optional minced dried onion (or onion powder)
Optional minced ginger (or powdered)
Marinate for 30 or more (overnight even) and grill or cook in non stick pan.
For rice, you can bump up the flavour in oh so many ways.
You can throw in a small package of Lipton's Onion Soup into the pot while you're making it, or chicken broth instead of water, veggy broth instead of water,.
Check out the recipe board.
I have a microwave onion rice recipe that takes literally seconds to make and is totally yummy. Plus it makes a big batch - one that will last several days.
There's also a teriyaki marinade I make myself that is very flexible for whatever ingredients you have on hand.

...you always tend to have a question to an answer. I honestly think she just didn't try those brands soy sauce not because they aren't safe, but because she just hasn't chose to buy those brands.
I know you used to post as Volatile, so I know you have problems with obssessive detailed worrying. I hope you will see a therapist about your obsessive fears.

Also, you really only need a few minutes every couple of weeks. Most of the homemade sauces keep well in the frig for that long, so if you take a half hour and make a few... I never have time to cook for myself and everyone else, so I've gotten good at cooking huge batches of rice, sauces, and chicken for lunches during the week, etc. A couple of my favorites include:
1. white wine,chicken broth,thyme, and a little corn starch for thickener
2. pineapple, crushed, with juice, a little worcestershire, brown sugar, and ketchup
3. I like to rub the Montreal Steak Seasoning in and let it sit all day, tehn quick grill it - this is even good cold, thinly sliced on a sandwich the next day.
Good luck. It sounds harder than it is.

Thank you.
I have Heather's receipe book.
I will take a look at the sauces listed.
I have not really used the receipe book much simply because I feel some anxiety.
I feel overwhelmed in a sense I am still stabalizing, and looking at something all new with hundreads of receipes, well it can be a lot for the first time!

Hi, I went and took your suggestion!
I purchased a package of Lipton's Onion Soup.
I had a few questions.
1) I was concerned with the high amount of sodium. I am one of those people who can't tolerate high amounts of sodium, in fact I rarely have soup because it bloats my stomach. Almost any soup will do this.
So I was wondering if you knew of any Onion Soup Packages with low sodium, or if the Lipton's was safe?
2) I wanted to know, when I make Rice, I usually microwave 1-2 cups of Premade White Rice.
I wanted to know a) how much of the soup packet I should use b) how I should mix the two.
Should I simply take a certain portion of the package, mix it with the rice before, after, or midway through cooking?
3) Is it possible to use the Onion Soup Packet on things besides rice? I remember when I was a kid how great hamburgers tasted once when my mom mixed Onion Soup into the burgers. I was wondering if there were any receipes to mix onion soup with chicken in the oven.
I really would like to know where I can find simple receipes like these, I am not ready now for Heather's receipes, simple things such as this are good for the moment.
Thanks.

See if you can find a generic no name brand that is low sodium. Alternately, you can just use low sodium broth and dried onion flakes. Same deal.
You put it in the water that you're cooking the rice in - it all gets cooked at the same time. For 1 - 2 cups, you could use probably the single serving size (a tablespoon or two). It would also cut down on the amount of sodium. You can ALWAYS substitute low sodium broth for water when making rice.
Oh, go to the lipton website. I'm sure they probably have recipes with their onion soup mix.
