Mojito Marinade

It's starting to get warmer....I won't say warm because that's a lie.  So we re grilling quite a bit more and trying new recipes.  Here's one we are doing this week.


Ingredients

2 shallots
1/4 cup corse cut mint
1/4 cup rum
1 T lime zest
1/2 cup lime juice
3 T honey

1 T kosher salt
2 T canola oil
 
Put everything in a food processor, pulse until shallots are finely minced and there you have it.

Sloppy Joes

Could have swarn I posted this before, but I can't find it.  This isn't a meal that's in regular rotation as quite frankly it's not that good for you but we enjoy it from time to time.

1 & 1/2 cups ketchup
6T h20
3 T brown sugar
3t Worcestershire Sauce
3t yellow mustard
3/4t each garlic & onion powder
ground beef

So brown the ground beef, drain but back in pan.  Add all the other ingredients and bring to a simmer, basically just to warm through and mix the ingredients.  Easy week night meal.

Key West Chicken Marinade

A new marinade for tomorrow nights dinner.  I like all the ingredients so I assume it will be good.  Here goes.

3 T soy sauce
1 T honey
1 T oil
1 t lime juice
1 t chopped garlic.

Mix all together and coat chicken, marinade at least 1 hour.  Enjoy!
