Here are the long awaited BBQ recipes!!!! The turn out was great for the Second Annual Hayden Run Relief Society BBQ. Everyone attending had a great time. Here are the promised recipes from that night. Feel free to cut and paste the ones you are interested in or all of them. If you have great BBQ recipes to share add them to the thread/commend area.:) We welcome every one's ideas...it makes our lives easier to know what to cook when we want something new!:)



Okay okay...the recipes!!! Here they are.

1.
Fresh Fruit Salsa

1 Anaheim pepper, finely diced

1/3 whole pineapple, cored and finely diced

1 nectarine, finely diced

3/4 c. finely diced strawberries

1-2 kiwis, finely diced

1/2 purple onion, finely diced

all amounts are approximate, and to taste.Finish (perfectly balanced balsamic vinegar, 6% acidity), salt, lime juice, 1 tsp honey.Mix together and serve over grilled chicken.Compliments: Aubrielle P. and Michelle W., original recipe

2.
Veggies on the Grill

1 jar of Zesty Italian Dressing
Grated Parmesan Cheese, as much as you would like

Marinate all the veggies in the above two then put them on skewers before grilling.Veggies you can use: tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, onions, peppers, anything really.
Compliments: Aubrielle P.


3.
Marinated Chicken
(this makes a lot of marinade, you might want to half it for a smaller group)

16 oz. Soy Sauce
3 cans of 7 Up or Sprite
2 cups of Peanut Oil
½ cups of lemon juice
3 tsp. Garlic powder
1 tsp. Horseradish Powder ( I could not find this at the store so I substituted it for Wassabi Powder)
Let your chicken marinate over night for the best taste.
Compliments: Melissa S.

4.
Pizza Dough
1 cup warm water
1 pkg of Yeast or 2 ¼ tsp2 Tbs Olive Oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 ½ cups flour (Heidi used half whit and half wheat flour)

combine water yeast and sugar. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes. Add rest of ingredients and combine until dough clings to side of bowl. Spray with cooking spray and let dough stand for 20 minutes. Roll out, top with sauce and toppings, bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes.
Compliments of Emily S.

5.
Pizza on the Grill
Preheat Grill to 400, it must be very hot.

Roll dough out with plenty of flour, so your dough is not too sticky.Rub Olive Oil on one side of dough and place dough on grill, oil side to the grill.Close the lid and let cook for about 2 minutes,rub Olive Oil on top and then flip, the olive oil keeps it from sticking to the grill.Then top your pizza with your favorite toppings and let it cook for at least another 5 minutes. Compliments of Heidi G.

Please add more recipes in the thread and lets make a long and hot summer cool and full of fun!

BASIC PANTRY ITEMS


I found a great website that was basic enough for me. I'm not the best cook/baker etc when it comes to been a stay-at-home-mom, I know there are far more talented people out there. One reason I wanted to share some of these things I read is to get a thread going on sharing ideas how to learn simple things and how to built on a talent no matter how small.

I thought the website gave nice basic ideas how to stock ones pantry/food storage where ever it may be. It took some stress off my shoulders.:) Now you can see I'm not a star chef by anymeans but the positive note is I have kept my family alive. No one has died yet and I'm willing to learn more.

Some simple suggested items to have on hand!

Oils:
Olive Oil,
Sesame Oil,
Peanut Oil,
Vegetable Oil ( of course one needs to be aware of allergies when stocking up)

Marjoram,

Extracts:

Celery
Carrots

I also learned the other day that the following spices are the new super Spices to add on to our plates.
1. Cinnamon - one teaspoon has more antioxidants than a 1/2 cup of blueberries or a cup of pomegranate juice.

2. Thyme - fights infection especially respiratory, may help chronic cough...add to chicken, eggs, egg whites

3. Oregano - 1/2 teaspoon has as much of antioxidants as 3 cups of fresh spinach.

4. Curry - helps prevent cognitive decline - add to chicken salad

5. Paprika = red pepper - helps metabolism, sprinkle on hummus, cottage cheese etc

6. Ginger - helps in inflammation, muscle soreness, nausea- add to lemonade, ice cream, water, fish, chicken...

7. Rosemary - powerful anti inflammatory- sprinkle on breads, chicken, etc...

The thread is yours, add your thoughts, ideas, wisdom, anything you find interesting and how you simplify your life.

FREE RHUBARB from PENNY




Hey Sisters,

Penny M. has a great offer for all of us. If you wonder what you can do with rhubarb, it's great in deserts such as in pies, cold fruit soups, jam and dying yarn...yes...any knitters out there..it is a great organic alternative for adding color for your craft.:)


See Penny's message here:


Hi folks,I have an abundance of rhubarb if anyone wants to make a pie or jelly orwhatnot. Rhubarb Crisp is pretty tasty! Anyway, the plants look awesome in my landscaping... but it seems a waste not to share it. I've a few gallons in my freezer already and so you aren't taking food out of our mouths if you pick your fill.

Penny M.


If you are interested and do not know where Penny lives, give her a call and she'll be happy to direct you. If you do not have her phone number, call or e-mail me for that info.
