Honey BBQ Chicken

Various chicken pieces (we prefer boneless breasts)
SAUCE:
2 tbsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup lemon juice

Mix ingredients together for sauce. Wash chicken, place in baking pan, crockpot, or dish for grilling. Pour sauce over meat. We like to let the meat marinate in it over night. This sauce is runny, so it's best used in the crockpot or baking dish.

Sausage and cheddar corn muffins

You can also substitute bacon. Great as a cool morning treat!



3 cups flour

1 cup cornmeal

2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp baking soda

2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

2 cups milk

2 tbsp lemon juice

4 tbsp butter, melted

2 eggs

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 roll of sauage, browned and drained



Mix together all ingredients. Spray muffin pan/stone liberally. Fill cups 3/4 full. Bake on 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until muffins are golden browned.

Pork chops with mushroom sauce

This isn't homemade, but it's awesome anyway.


1 pack of pork chops (we use boneless, 9 in each pack)
3 cans cream of mushroom soup

Rinse pork chops and place them in a crockpot. Open and pour soups over top. Cook on high for 4ish hours, or until pork chops are falling apart. (This is my reason for using boneless)
