Key Lime Pie Recipe

Sunday July 3, 2011

It's sweet, tart, tangy, and cool -- perfect for 4th of July celebrations. Key lime pie is extremely easy to make. The main time factor is zesting and squeezing all those little Key limes, but it is definitely worth it. If absolutely necessary, you can find bottled Key lime juice in most markets. Persian limes may be substituted as a last resort. It won't be key lime pie, but it will still be yummy.

Oven Beercan Chicken Recipe

Saturday July 2, 2011

Beercan chicken is a popular outdoor grill recipe, but it is not feasible for everyone nor at any time of the year. The solution is this easy beercan chicken made in the oven. It is incredibly moist, tender, and flavorful. The only thing you may miss is a slightly smoky flavor that naturally comes with a grill. I think you will really enjoy the spice rub, so double or triple it to keep on hand. Although I have used some leftover sangria here, your choice of liquid for the beercan (or soda can) is limited only by your imagination. Be sure to read the Note before beginning.
