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.

Tangy Lemon Chicken

Love when I find a new recipe we all like.  Love even more when it's a crockpot recipe.  This is such a recipe.  I have to say initially I thought the ingredients were a bit weird.  Even the recipe write up said so, but they swore it was awesome.  They were right.

Ingredients

Cut up whole chicken (I actually used 3 split bone in chicken breasts)
3 T melted butter
1 T onion flakes (I used powder since it's what I had)
1 T dijon mustard
1 package lemon jello mix

So put the chicken piece in crock pot.  Mix remaining ingredients together.  It will be like a paste.  Smear over chicken.  If chicken is frozen cook 8 hours on low.  I guess it would probably be like 6 if it isn't frozen.  Mine was, I cooked it for 9 hours since that's what I worked and it was really good.  Everyone ate it with no complaints.  Even some requests to make it again.  Winner Winner Chicken Dinner.
