Mornin' ladies, it's going to be another scorcher here today but not quite as bad as yesterday. How about you?

OVERNIGHT CHICKEN (Baked Bree)

1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup Dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon curry powder
4 Tablespoons soy sauce
4 chicken breasts

Mix together the honey, mustard, soy sauce, and curry powder. Put the chicken and marinade in a plastic bag or glass container and marinate overnight. The next day, put the chicken and the marinade in a pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour covered with tin foil. Uncover the chicken and baste. Cook another 15 minutes. Slice and top with some of the remaining sauce.

Haven't tried this yet, but tonight's the night! I have another white chicken pizza recipe I haven't tried, so I may take things from both recipes and see what happens. CHICKEN RANCH PIZZA (Fake Ginger) 1 pizza crust, homemade or store-bought For the sauce: 2/3 cup Ranch dressing 2 cloves garlic, minced For the toppings: 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced thinly 2 Roma tomatoes, diced 1/4 cup green onions, thinly sliced Preheat the oven to 425F. Butter or grease a 16-inch round pizza pan. Stretch pizza dough to fit pan. (I use a 10x15" sided cookie sheet.) In a small bowl, mix the ranch dressing and minced garlic. Spread the sauce mixture over the crust. In a medium bowl, toss together the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses. Spread about half of the cheese mixture over the sauce. Evenly spread the chicken, tomatoes, and green onions over the pizza. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake pizza for 12-15 minutes. Check pizza after 10 minutes, and continue to check every few minutes until top is browned and cheese is bubbly. Remove pizza from oven, allow to cool slightly, and slice.

baked eggs with Asparagus, Ham, and Gruyere can be made in individual ramekin servings, I love breakfast dishes that can be made ahead of time. Ingredients * 1 tablespoon olive oil * 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces * 1 shallot, chopped * 6 large eggs * 1 1/2 cups half-and-half * kosher salt and black pepper * 4 cups torn baguette * 1 cup Gruyere, grated (4 ounces) * 4 ounces ham, roughly chopped Directions Heat oven to 350 F. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and shallot and cook until tender, 4 to 6 minutes; let cool. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Fold in the baguette, Gruyere, ham, and the asparagus mixture. Transfer the egg mixture to four 10-ounce ramekins, cover with foil, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until set, 30 to 35 minutes. (Alternatively, transfer the egg mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish, cover with foil, refrigerate for 30 minutes, and bake until set, 35 to 40 minutes.) Uncover and cook until golden, 10 to 15 minutes more. Baked Eggs With Asparagus, Ham, and Gruyere

I've read, but never think to do it; that if you soak your potatoes wedges and chunks that you are going to roast in the oven, it gets rid of the starch that makes them tough and chewy instead of crispy on the outside. I had roasted veggies twice last week and both times completely forgot about soaking the potatoes. Here's a recipe that I picked up from a Yahoo Group I belong to. Grilled Honey-Soy Chops 4 pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons minced onion 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon honey Combine all ingredients in a self-sealing, plastic bag; seal bag and place in refrigerator 5-24 hours. Remove chops from marinade (discard remaining marinade). Grill over medium-hot coals until nicely browned, turning as necessary, for about 10-12 minutes. Serves 4.

Kalua Pork and it's in the oven this very minute. boston butt bone in or out 4 lb or more rub with kosher salt all over 2 Tbl liquid smoke 1 banana Put the roast in you cast iron dutch oven, I put foil in the bottom pour the smoke over the roast I also put two bay leaves in cut an unpeeled banana in half, and place on two sides of the pan Pour 1/2 cup water around the roast Cover Place in preheated 250 degree oven, and let it cook 5, 6 hours, until the meat falls off the bone, or falls apart. Depends on the size. Larger ones take 8 hours. Let it cool, a little, before taking two forks to shred the meat. Put the juices in the refrig to cool, then remove the fat. I add the meat back to some of the juices, and have the other on reserve, for the guest to add as desired. I serve it with white bbq sauce on the side and Hawaiian sweet rolls for sliders. Made this so many times I don't even need to look up the recipe.

Hi Patti,
Going to be another hot one today, same as yesterday.
Tomorrow we should be getting a reprieve, a high of 23C (Low 70's) That's what I'm looking forward to!!

I need to bake bread and I'm going to wait until tomorrow.

I thought since it was a holiday weekend someone might want to make some home made ice cream. This is my recipe that I have used for years and years. It makes some wonderful ice cream. You can use what ever fruit you want and you can make a mix of 2. we used to make this every Sunday when friends came over to swim, I would make them guess what fruit I had used and sometimes I went exotic LOL I used to do banana strawberry a lot, go wild. Enjoy and have a great weekend. (this is a NO cook recipe)

Fresh fruit Ice Cream
4 cups half and half and 2 cups milk OR 6 cups half and half
2 14oz cans sweetened condensed milk
2 cups mashed fresh fruit ( like banana, or strawberries, or peaches etc or you can do a mix of 2)
2 Tablespoons vanilla extract or imitation vanilla
food color optional
In Ice Cream freezer container combine all ingredients, mix well, freeze according to freezer directions , freeze any left overs
Makes 3 quarts.
