Another favorite book series

This 5 book series is by Beverly Lewis:

The Covenant
The Betrayal
The Sacrifice
The Prodigal
The Revelation
This is an excellent story that will hook you and keep you up late at night to find out what happens next. The Amish family and community ways are described in detail by the author making you feel like you are there. Happy Reading.

Summer is for grilling

Hawaiian Shish Kabobs

10 large mushrooms
2 zucchinis
1 onion
1 fresh pineapple
3-4 chicken breasts
½ pack of bacon
skewers
Mr. Yoshida’s Original Recipe Marinade
3 cups white rice
nonstick cooking spray

Slice chicken, onion, zucchinis, into bite sliced pieces and add to a large Tupperware container. Cut mushrooms in half and add to container. Pour 1 ½ cup of Mr. Yoshida’s marinade into container. Close lid and turn upside down to evenly mix the marinade in container. Let it marinade in the fridge for an hour. Meanwhile cut up pineapple into bite sized pieces, cook rice according to directions on the package, and soak wooden skewers in water so they won’t burn on the grill. When hour of marinating is up cut bacon pack in half. Preheat grill to med-high. Place ingredients out and start loading the skewers. I’ve found that a Mushroom half works the best to keep the food from slipping off the skewers. Wrapping a ½ strip of bacon wrapped chicken pieces on each skewer. Only load 2 bacon wrapped chicken pieces on each skewer. (I have caught my grill on fire with too much bacon grease) Once the skewers are loaded spray both sides with cooking spray.
Grill kabobs about 7 minutes on each side. Serve with soy sauce and white rice.

My husband won't eat store bought salsa anymore

The Pioneer Woman's Pico de Gallo Salsa

5 roma tomatoes
1 onion
1 jalapeno pepper
1 bunch cilantro
lime juice
salt
(food processor if available)

Rinse cilantro with water and pull of leaves and set aside. Slice tomatoes and onion into small sections. Slice pepper into fine slices (use the plastic grocery sack to hold the pepper as you slice so the juices won’t burn your skin). Add (all but lime juice) to food processor and use until ingredients are finely chopped. Put chopped ingredients into a bowl and add lime juice and stir. Keep in the fridge.
