Chicken Kabobs

Chili-Lime Chicken Kabobs
submitted by Brittany ~ The Sister’s Cafe

2 large chicken breast halves (boneless, skinless), about 1.5 lbs
1 sweet red pepper
1 sweet onion

6 Tb olive oil
3 Tb red wine vinegar
2 limes, juiced (4 Tb)
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion salt
2 tsp minced garlic cloves
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (more if you like it spicy)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Cut chicken and pepper into 2 inch pieces. Peel onion and cut into quarters. Slice through each quarter to make 8 chunks. (When you pull apart the onion layers, the outer layers should now be in roughly 2 inch pieces) Set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, and lime juice. Stir in spices. Marinate chicken and vegetables for 4-6 hours or overnight. (You can place the chicken and vegetables in separate shallow containers. I make sure the chicken is covered with marinade first. Any leftover marinade, use for the vegetables.)

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Thread chicken, pepper, and onion onto metal skewers and discard the marinade. Grill skewers, turning occasionally, for 10-15 minutes, or until juices run clear.

Ham and Cheese Sliders

Printer-Friendly Version

Ingredients:

For the sandwiches:

24 slider rolls (mini Hawaiian rolls are also recommended, but I can’t find them in my area)

24 slices honey ham

24 small slices Swiss cheese

Mayonnaise

For the sauce:

1½ tbsp. yellow mustard

8 tbsp. butter, melted

1 tbsp. finely minced onion (or 2 tsp. dried minced onion)

½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Split the slider rolls and spread the insides lightly with mayonnaise. Fold a slice of ham to fit on each slider bun, and top with a slice of Swiss cheese. Replace the top bun to assemble the sandwiches. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet.

To make the sauce, combine all ingredients except the poppy seeds in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Drizzle the sauce over the tops of the slider buns. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Cover with foil and bake 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Remove the foil and bake 2 minutes longer. Serve warm.

spider man pizza

Ingredients...

Pita bread

Pizza Sauce

String Mozzarella Cheese

Sliced Mozzarella

or

Provolone Cheese

Sliced Black Olives (optional)

We did one pizza with and one without black olives.

Put your favorite pizza sauce on the pita bread rounds.

Cut the string cheese into thin strips to make a web on top of the sauce.

Cut out the eyes from the mozzarella slices. You could also use provolone or whatever white cheese that you have.

If you are using olives...just cut them in half and outline the eyes.

Pop in the oven at 350 for about 10 minutes or until the cheese melts.

It's so simple, but the boys thought it was the coolest dinner ever!

Thanks!Jill

corn on the cob......

With summer quickly coming to an end my husband and I figured we should do a few more summer meals to finish off the summer. If you have yet to have a good summer bbq we are going to share several summer time favorites we found and encourage you to plan one last bbq!

Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss anything!

bbq corn on the cob......

Take your ear of corn and place it on a large piece of time foil. Drizzle corn with about 2 TB olive oil, and sprinkle generously with SUGAR, SALT, AND PEPPER. Wrap the corn by folding each end tightly to try to avoid any oil from leaking. Place on your grill and cook alongside any main dish you are grilling ( about 20 min on grill).

I promise you will not regret trying this!
