Place the chicken, garlic, onions and peppers in the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours, the longer the better. 

Preheat the grill for high heat.  Drain marinade from chicken and vegetables and discard marinade.

{3}      Cold Brew Jamaica [Hibiscus Iced Tea], submitted by Muriel,      Muriel@wenells.us    

Recipe By: My sister gave to me, Carolle makes one similar

Yield: 1 quart

Ingredients:

15 grams dried hibiscus flowers, A little over 1/4 cup

1 cinnamon stick, or 1 Tbsp. cinnamon chips

4 cups cold water

to taste Stevia, honey, or simple syrup

lime wedges, optional for serving

 

Directions:

Place the hibiscus and cinnamon stick in a large jar or bowl. 

Add water. Cover and refrigerate overnight (8 to 12 hours).

Add sweetener to taste.  

Strain out the solids and serve over ice with a squeeze of lime, if desired.

Store the brewed Jamaica covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.

I let this sit in a large mason jar overnight.  Store it that way too - it will stain things.  

I use a simple syrup. 1 cup sugar, 1 c water brought to a boil to sweeten after I pour it 

over ice in a glass.  I've never tried the lime.  My favorite is with ginger syrup that I make. 

YUM.  

I don't have Carolle's recipe.  But she brews hers hot and puts ginger root in it while it steeps. 

Then adds sugar.  I tried it hot in my instant pot.  

I find no difference between the cold and hot brewed, so I just put it on my counter overnight.  

Love it.  

The health benefits of hibiscus tea include relief from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as 

digestive system, immune system, and inflammatory problems. 

It helps to cure liver disease and reduces the risk of cancer. 

It can also speed up the metabolism and help in healthy, gradual weight loss.

I bought my hibiscus flowers dried at a Mexican bakery/store in Crystal.  

About $5 for a large bag. 

Carolle says any African grocery carries it too.

{19}  Jo's Easy Tiramisu, submitted by Rosemarie Carneal in rural Kansas City,    rmcdlc11@gmail.com   

Recipe courtesy of Jo Cismaru

3 egg yolks

1/4 Cup sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 lb. mascarpone cheese (can usually be found by ricotta cheese in supermarkets)

24 lady finger cookies

2 Cups brewed coffee (I found that 1 C is plenty)

1/4 Cup rum

1 Tbsp cocoa powder

2 Cups Cool Whip (optional)

3/4 Cup white chocolate shavings (optional)

 

Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and vanilla extract with your mixer on medium high speed until almost white and thick - could take 8-10 minutes

Add the mascarpone and beat until everything is well combined   Mixture should be quite thick - set aside

In a shallow plate combine the coffee and rum together

Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture one at a time and arrange 12 of them in the bottom of an 8 x 8 inch baking pan.  You don't have to soak them in the coffee for a long time - if you do, tiramisu will be soggy and won't cut well

Just briefly dip them on both sides, no longer than a second.

Spread half the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers 

Repeat with remaining ladyfingers and cheese mixture

Cover this and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours - overnight works best!

Spread top with Cool Whip anytime after the 3 hours

Refrigerate until ready to serve

Dust top with a heavy layer of cocoa powder and top with white chocolate shavings

 

Leftovers?

Cover with plastic wrap or put in an airtight container

for up to 2 days.

Longer than that will result in the tiramisu becoming mushy

However, the tiramisu is better the second day

And even if it does get mushy, it is still heavenly

Yummmmmmmmmmmm..............

{21}       Oven Chicken Salad, submitted by Laurel in Australia,  tomee@ozemail.com.au

This recipe is an 'oldie'.. nonetheless.. still remains a favorite.. hope you too enjoy this one.

Serves 4

2 cups chopped chicken

2 cups chopped celery

1/2 cup chopped/flaked (or slivered) almonds

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons grated onion

1 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons lemon juice

 

Assemble all ingredients and sprinkle with crushed potato crisps. (Chips)

Bake until 'bubbly' in a 450ºF ( about 220ºC) oven – for about 10-15 minutes.

You can also add some grated cheese together with crisps.

{22}      Quick Pasta with Egg and Cheese Sauce, submitted by Freddie in San Antonio, Texas,   freddiebjohnson@prodigy.net

Yield:  4 servings

2-3  eggs

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese -- shredded or Romano

1/4 cup sour cream

1 pound pasta, cooked per package directions -- or your choice or egg noodles *

fresh herbs -- to taste (optional) *

salt and freshly ground pepper -- to taste.  I used garlic salt.

 

Combine the eggs, cheese, sour cream salt and pepper and optional herbs in a small bowl and stir with a fork to combine. 

Drain the noodles and return to the pot immediately.  

Add the egg mixture and toss to combine.  The heat from the noodles will cook the eggs.

* Notes:  I used 3 eggs, extra wide egg noodles, garlic salt and about 1 Tbsp. of fresh oregano.  

I only used 8 oz of noodles but a full recipe of sauce.  

I think 16 oz would be too much.

2 small (or 1 medium-sized) ripe tomato, sliced

 

Combine cornmeal, salt, and cold water in a small bowl. Have the boiling water on the stove in a saucepan, and add the cornmeal mixture, whisking. Cook about 10 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, It will get very thick. Remove from heat, and let cool until able to handle.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Oil a 10-inch pie pan. Add the polenta, and use a rubber spatula and/or wet hands to form it into a smooth, thick crust over the bottom and sides of the pan. Brush the surface with olive oil, and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.

While the crust bakes, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium-sized skillet. Add the onion, and sauté for 5 to 8 minutes, or until it begins to soften. Add the bell pepper, mushrooms and zucchini, and sauté until everything is tender, but not too soft.

(Use your own judgment. There are no rules!) Stir in the garlic, herbs, and some black pepper, and sauté just a few minutes more.

Turn up the oven to broiling temperature. Sprinkle half the

cheese onto the bottom of the baked crust (OK if the crust is

still hot), and add the tomato slices. Spread the sautéed mixture over the tomatoes, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Broil until brown (about 5 minutes) and serve hot.
