Honey Garlic

 


The recipe is pretty straight forward. 

*Eat garlic at onset of cold or sore throat or when you have been around someone sick. This will boost your immune system.  

The infamous "they" say it keeps blood-feeding mythical creatures away too.

My friend Nen shared it from her friend Kim.  I'm very excited to try it.

I used three large heads of garlic and put them in a 6 oz. jar.  Fill the jar with the garlic first (my mother tried to tell me to put the honey in first---no, no, no, Mom!) and then pour the honey over the top.  

Cover and flip the jar a few times a day for a couple weeks.  

I put my in a ceramic compost crock instead of the cabinet. (Just easier to remind me to flip when I'm in the kitchen.  We'll check back on December 3rd (Jeff & Nen's anniversary) to see how it turns out.


Let me know if you have any home remedy ideas.  I'm wondering if honey and ginger would work the same way?  

Cheers♥

Honey Dijon Chicken

Barbie’s Autumn Chicken


1 large chicken breast
1 tsp lime juice
2 tsp vegetable oil
½ cup Dijon mustard
½ cup honey
4 slices bacon, halved
4 mushrooms, halved
4 slices Monterey Jack cheese
4 slices cheddar cheese
Italian seasoning


Combine lime juice, vegetable oil, Dijon mustard and honey in medium bowl and beat with electric mixer just until frothy.  Remove skin and bone from chicken breast and divide into 4 pieces.  Place in zip lock bag and pour ¾ of the mustard mixture over the chicken.  Let stand for at least two hours.

Preheat oven to 350º. In a cast iron fry pan cook the bacon until crisp; sauté the mushrooms briefly in the last minute or so of cooking bacon.  Remove bacon and mushrooms and keep 1 tbsp grease.  If the bacon grease is too yucky, wipe out pan and use vegetable oil.  Sear chicken in pan for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

In same pan, brush each seared chicken breast with a little of the reserved honey mustard marinade.  Lay two slices of bacon halves on each breast, top with two slices of mushrooms and one slice each of the cheeses. 

Bake at 350º for 15-20 minutes until the cheeses is thoroughly melted and starting to bubble.  Top with Italian seasoning before serving.

Dug's Super Spicy Honey Roasted Peanuts


16 oz raw peanuts
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
½ cup honey
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp vanilla
1tsp kosher salt, plus some
¼ cup sugar





Preheat oven to 325º. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spray generously with non-stick cooking spray.

Combine butter, honey, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla in sauce pan (or microwaveable dish) and heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Add peanuts and stir until well combined. Spread mixture on cookie sheet.

Bake peanuts for 35 minutes, stirring every 7 minutes. Make sure to stir the ones on the outside to the inside because they will get crispier faster. Remove from oven final time and stir to distribute sauce evenly.

Sprinkle with sugar and a little more kosher salt. Once they have cooled a few minutes place on parchment paper on counter to cool completely. You will have to stir and break apart clumps; store in air tight container at room temperature.
