Chicken Kabobs
Posted on: June 30, 2013
What is your favorite grilled food? Mine are kabobs, whether made with chicken, beef, seafood or lamb, I like putting together ingredients for kabobs.
My BFF from New Rochelle was visiting this weekend, so in addition to some “girl talk” and a few cold Peach Bellinis, we dined on crabs, shrimp and chicken kabobs.
Girlfriends for Life!
Ingredients:
Chicken breasts, mushrooms, Mango, grape tomatoes, red onion, sweet peppers, Adobe Seasoning, pepper, Lawry Hawaiian Marinade
Soak wood skewers in cool water
Thoroughly wash mushrooms, rinse tomatoes and peppers
Dice red onion, if cut under stove’s exhaust fan there are no tears
Cut mango, mushrooms, sweet peppers and chicken into bite size pieces
Season with Adobe and pepper
Skewer alternating veggies, mango and chicken. I usually start and end with a grape tomato, they seem to hold everything in place.
Pour on marinade, cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
Fire up the grill and place on non-stick foil, depending on your grill’s temp, cook thoroughly until chicken is done.
Remove from grill and let sit for a few minutes before serving.
Crabs and Shrimp purchased from Lewes Fishhouse.

“Use what you got to make what you want“ was the inspiration for this mid-week meal.
I usually buy Ground Turkey but this week purchased Perdue Ground Chicken, and using ingredients that I already had on hand I jazzed up an ordinary loaf.
Ingredients
Ground Turkey/Chicken
Taco Seasoning
Salsa
Egg
Bread Crumbs
Sweet Peppers
Onion
Mixed Ground Chicken, an egg, leftover salsa, Taco Seasoning and bread crumbs to form loaf
Top with slices of onion and peppers (cheddar cheese optional)
Placed in loaf pan and baked for 40 minutes @ 350~
Served with Tortilla Strips and mild pepper rings.
Another easy breezy recipe- leftovers can be used to make a Taco Salad when added to lettuce, tomatoes, Avocado and dressing.
4 Ingredient 40 Minute Meal
Posted on: June 13, 2013
Hello Friends, I hope you had a good day. Â
I didn’t make it into work this morning because of a quick moving, yet severe rainstorm that caused me to turn around and head home. Â Fortunately the weather improved and it turned into a wonderful sunny afternoon.
I’m still on the Nutrisystem program and eating their meals but that doesn’t mean I’ve stopped cooking dinner for my men. Â Last night’s easy breezy meal contained only 4 ingredients that took 40 minutes to prepare. Â
They really liked this dish and there was enough leftover for them to have for lunch today.  If you try this recipe let me know, and if you put your own little twist on it, tell me what you used.
Ingredients:
Dry Pasta
Turkey Sausage
Frozen Broccoli
Salad Dressing
Boil pasta according to box instructions
Cut Turkey Sausage into bit size pieces
Cover sausage with 1/2 cup water and 1/4 cup salad dressing
Cook 10 minutes
Add broccoli, cover and cook add’l 15 mins or until desired texture
Add to drained pasta
Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese if desired
Enjoy!
Mediterranean Chickpea Salad
Posted on: June 17, 2012
The colors of summer –
Using a recipe from the @usaweekend magazine I made a Mediterranean Chickpea Salad. I didn’t have mozzarella so I used sharp cheddar and instead of cherry tomatoes I cut up a fresh tomato. The parsley was fresh from my garden.
Get fired up for dessert!
