.Lemon Rosemary Chicken.

6 Chicken Thighs, bone-in & skin on
1 Package of fresh Rosemary
1 Bulb of Garlic
6-7 Lemons
Kosher Salt
Pepper

Preheat oven to 450

Place rinsed Chicken Thighs in a 9x13. Juice all of the 6-7 lemons and pour into the 9x13. Peel your garlic & place WHOLE cloves in 9x13 (I always put 12 cloves in-between the thighs). Next put the Kosher Salt all over the thighs (HINT: The more salt the crispier the skin..which is a yummy thing). Now add the pepper to your liking. You can either chop up your rosemary and put that in or peel it off the little sprigs/twigs and put in whole. Now place in oven for 35-40 minutes.

Serve with rice and I like to have broccoli too!

Taco Chili

OK this turned out way better than I had ever imagined I really like it . Plus the added bonus it is quick and easy I made it in 15 min start to finish.

1 lb of ground turkey seasoned with taco( you can use ground beef if your prefer and you don't need to season it if you want plain chili.)
1 can diced tomatoes undrained
1 can kidney beans drained and rinsed
1 packet chili seasoning

Brown Hamburger, drain add remaining ingredients bring to a boil and simmer about 5-10 min until hot.

Way easy and Yummy, plus very inexpensive to make. For a side note Aaron even liked it tomatoes and all :)

Heather I need the lemon chicken recipe. Thanks Love ya

This is a three step process & worth every step!!

~ Creamy Tomatillo Salad Dressing ~

3 fresh Tomatillos, cut into quarters
1 Cup Fresh Cilantro (about one bunch)
Juice of half a lime
5 stalks Green Onions with ends
½ Cup Buttermilk (or make with dry buttermilk mix)
2 cloves crushed Garlic
½ Cup Mayonnaise
½ - ¾ tsp. salt
½ Cup sour cream
¼ tsp. crushed cayenne pepper
1 pkg. Dry Ranch Fiesta Packet
4 tsp. sugar or other sweetener

Place all ingredients in a blender. Combine well and refrigerate one hour.

** If you don’t want to make this dressing, just buy the Trader Joe’s Cilantro Lime Dressing in the refrigerated section. It tastes almost the same and it saves you a lot of work.

~ Easy Cilantro Rice ~

6 Cups just cooked rice, hot
1 bunch fresh cilantro
2 – 3 cloves garlic
½ sweet yellow onion (Maui, Vidalia or Walla Walla)
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

While rice is cooking, prepare the rest of the ingredients as follows:

Remove stems from cilantro, roughly chop then put into a food processor with garlic and onion. Process until everything is finely chopped. When rice is cooked and still very hot, combine with cilantro mixture, and salt and pepper to taste. At this point you can let sit covered for 5 – 10 minutes to blend flavors then serve, or bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes and then serve. Either way is good. The rice takes on a greenish hue that looks pretty. This dish goes well with Mexican dishes as a substitute for Spanish Rice. Serves 6 – 8.

~ Shredded Pork ~

Pork roast
2 Cups Fresh Salsa
1 c. Brown Sugar
1 Can Coke

Put Pork into a slow cooker covered in water on high and let it cook for 5-5 1/2 hours. Drain water and shred pork. Mix Salsa, Brown Sugar, and Coke together then poor over the shredded pork and cook on High for another hour.

Serve individually on plate in this order: Tortilla (I love the fresh ones from Costco that you have to cook) Rice, Pork, Black Beans (opt.), Lettuce, Cilantro, tomato, Guacamole (opt.), Dressing, and Cheese
