Jerk Chicken

Jerk seasoning!
2 jalepeno minced, removed the seeds
1 med onion minced
1/4 lime juice
3 tbsp fresh thyme
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp fresh ginger. Grated
1 tbsp allspice
1 tsp cinnamon
1tsp salt
2 tbsp oil. I used coconut
1/2 ginger ale or ginger beer I buy it at superstore.

Put in a large zip lock bag with either chicken or pork. Massage the meat with the mixture.
I let it marinate for about 6 hours.

Cook on the grill or in the oven. Slow cooker works great too. Serve in a bun with my pineapple/mango salsa or over rice.

After a 4 day trip to Vegas

I experienced a lot of fantastic food while I was in Las Vegas.
I will start posting recipes etc again tomorrow. Today is family day :)

Why.......

Busy mom's cookbook is all the recipes I feed my family everyday. I am always attempting to add more fruit and veggies into my dishes. Cut out all the processed garbage and replace it with whole foods.

Picture below is of my "no fail banana muffins, topped with nutmeg cream cheese frosting and a banana chip.
