Banana Peanut Butter Pancakes

No pictures this time, because my roommate ate them all before I got out the camera :)

2 cups bisquick
2 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 RIPE banana
1 cup peanut butter

mix well, might be lumpy. may need a touch more milk. you can eyeball it. or test your first pancake then decide if you need more milk.

I'm thinking I can double the banana in the next batch, we shall see how that turns out. My plan is to freeze these (when I can make a batch that doesn't get eaten right away) and take them to GWW with a few other flavors. I'm thinking these ingredients give our fighters just what they need to last them through the first battle or two :)

Lemon Chicken served at Leodamus 2011

This is a combination of recipes that I adapted.

I used drumsticks and thighs, but I would use breasts too.

To prepare the chicken, I soaked it in the following brine over night. (or at least 8 hours)

4 qts. water
2/3 c. kosher salt
4 lemons, quartered
1/4 c. dried parsley
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small onion, sliced
1/4 t. black pepper

add the raw chicken into this mixture and refrigerate. I put them in plastic bags so I could later throw it away and not worry about raw chicken to clean up!


Right before you are ready to grill the chicken you mix up these two things in a blender. While you grill you use this as a glaze, or like a barbeque sauce.

juice of 2 lemons
2/3 cup of olive oil ( I used a lemon flavored olive oil from the Farmers Market in La Mesa on Fridays)

I just kept grilling the chicken and saucing them with the lemon mixture until they were done. These two methods when used together helped ensure that I kept the chicken moist!
