Bacon wrapped asparagus & Soy Honey Chicken

My husband said both of these are definitely on his make again list. . Lol. The Soy honey chicken let me just tell you the marinade will smell really strong and I thought when I mixed it that oh this isnt going to come out well, but man it is the best chicken I have had!! Really good!

Soy Honey chicken
Equal parts of
Soy sauce
Honey
Olive oil
1 tsp. Garlic (i used diced garlic cloves)
Mix all together in a ziploc bag and knead til combined. Put your chicken breast in the bag and shake til covered. I let it sit in the fridge for about 30 minutes to marinade then grilled it for 45 minutes. Seriously REALLY good!!

Bacon Wrapped Asparagus
enough asparagus for how ever many servings you want. Like I did 3 stalks of asparagus per "clump" and did 3 clumps per person. So for Chadd and I, I made 6 clumps.
Divide asparagus into clumps of 3 in each. Wrap a piece of bacon around each clump. You may have to hold the bacon to the asparagus with toothpicks. I sprinkled pepper and salt on them then grilled them for 40 minutes. These were REALLY good too!

Food Tip of the day

My cousin gave us this tip and I cant believe I never thought of it!!

*** When your done with your morning coffee and there is just a little coffee in the pot left dont throw it out, pour it into a ice try and freeze. Pop them out and store in ziploc bags in the freezer. When you want to make a iced coffee or frappe just put the ice in a blender with some milk and whatever else and you have a frappe!***

Crockpot Gulosh

I appologize but I didnt take a photo, to be honest it didnt look appealing, lol. But this is really good and super simple. Even my daughter who is a very picky eater and wont eat meat ate this!!

4 Chicken breast
1/4 Pkg Frozen Peas
1/4 Pkg Frozen Green beans
1/4 Pkg Frozen Broccoli
1 can Cream of Chicken soup
1 cup Chicken broth
1 teas. Onion flakes

Place chicken breast on the bottom of crock pot and throw the veggies on top. You can add other veggies if you like, these are just what I had on hand. Mix together chicken soup and chicken broth and onion flakes. You may have to add a little water to make it runny. Pour over everything. Cook on low for 6 hours. The last hour I added instant brown rice to it and it was done by the time we were ready for supper and it helped soak up the extra liquid.

Grilled Fish

Im not a big fish eater but I try to have fish every so often because it really is a good meat for you and has lots of Omega vitamins which is awesome for pregnant women. This is the first time for this recipe and it was really good.

3 Fish fillets (I used tilapia because thats what I always use but the recipe called for halibut)
1/2 Cup melted butter
2 T. Lemon juice
1 T. Garlic Salt
1 teaspoon minced onion flakes
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/2 teas Dill weed
1/4 teas pepper

Combine the butter and seasonings. Let sit 10 minutes. Brush the mixture on the fish and let sit for 20 minutes. Grill on low for 5 minutes then flip over and brush the butter mixture on the other side. Grill another 5 minutes. Repeat until the fish is flaky.

Crockpot Roast

This is my version of "BEEF STEW". . . You could always add more veggies if you like.

1 Rump Roast or 1 package of beef stew meat (its already chunked)
1/2 package Baby carrots
5 Potatoes, cut into chunks
1 pkg. Onion soup mix
3/4 can Coke

Place roast on bottom of crockpot. Arrange carrots and potatoes around the roast or if you use the beef chunks you can mix them in with the chunks. Rub onion soup mix into the roast or sprinkle over everything. Pour the can of coke over everything. Cook 8 hours on low.
Its always REALLY tender and awesome flavor!
Like I said you could add more veggies like celery or even cabbage would be good!

Green Bean Fries Dip recipe

This recipe goes with the Green bean fries recipe. Its really yummy and taste just like the dip you get at PF changs. .

1/2 Cup Ranch dressing
1 T. Horseradish
1 teaspoon White vinegar
1 T. Milk
1 or 2 Teaspoons Wasabi powder or sauce (I could only find a paste in a tube at the local grocery but it worked fine! Check in the Asian section)
1/4 teas. Salt (I didnt add it)
Combine together and let sit in the fridge for an hour or so to mix the flavors. You may have to add more wasabi if you like it spicy. But wait til after a bit to add more because it does become more spicy the longer it sits.

Cup Cakes

We had a end of the year party at church with our class we teach the other night and they wanted cupcakes. So I thought they would enjoy this fun variation on regular white cake mix. Its super simple!

Mix together all the ingredients called for in the cake mix. After its all mixed together divide it into 4 bowls. In each bowl add food coloring. Mix until its the correct shade you want. I wanted mine bright and bold so I added alot of coloring. Drop cake mix in greased muffin pans by spoonful so you have a dollop of each color in each cupcake. Bake as normal.
The kids thought it was so cool to have colors in their cupcake!
