Curry Chicken

Prepared by Stacey



Sauce:
1/4 c. butter (melted)
1/2 c. honey
1 tsp salt
1 tsp curry powder
2 Tbsp mustard (prepared)


Preparation:
Heat through sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan and stir until well mixed.

Cut and place 3 lbs of chicken into a baking dish and cover with the sauce. Cook at 350 for 45-60 minutes. Serve with rice.

Modifications and Tips:
I usually use a bit more than half the salt and double the sauce recipe so that there is extra for the rice. Cooking time can be reduced by partially cooking the chicken in a frying pan before baking it. I have also found that the left over sauce can be frozen for a quick meal on another day. (it tastes great on stir fried chicken and veggies!)

Thanks a million to Missy for this fabulous recipe!

Taco Potatoes



From the kitchen of Melissa

Ingredients:
Medium Potatoes
Ground Beef
Taco Seasoning
Cheese
Tomatoes
Lettuce
Avocados
Olives
Green Onions
Sour Cream
Salsa or Katsup

Preparation:
Stab the potatoes a couple of times with a fork, wrap them in foil, and bake them at 400 degrees for approximately 1 hour. While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the ground beef according to the instructions on the taco seasoning packet. When the potatoes are cooked, remove them from the oven, cut them in half, and pile on the goodness starting with the meat the the shredded cheese (so that the cheese will melt ). Continue to top with your favorite taco fixings such as tomatoes, avocados (a must), lettuce, olives, green onions, salsa (or katsup), and sour cream.
