I tried a couple of new recipes last week and they were both “keepers” in our house. I’ve also been making bread the last two weeks, using the dough cycle on my bread machine. You know, my 7 year old breadmaker that has been languishing in storage in the garage for a couple of years. I wasn’t even sure it would work, but so far so good. 🙂
The first recipe is for “Honey Lime Chicken“, and it’s one I swiped from my blog buddy Dawn, over at “Thoughts from Along the Broken Road“. I used 5 chicken tenders for the two of us, but I’m sure you could use regular boneless skinless breasts and double the sauce to serve 4. This recipe fit us really well, with it making 2 servings. It’s not often that happens! The recipe is posted over at our main site, Hambones.org, click here. (Oh, be sure to read my notes at the bottom – I almost always make some kind of change or modification, or suggestions for the next time I make a recipe, and I always put that in the notes at the bottom 🙂 )
The second recipe is one that I found in my new Taste of Home “Great American Cookout” cookbook I bought recently. It is for Teriyaki Kebobs, and we used a piece of sirloin steak for the meat. I posted a photo of the kebobs on the grill over on my photoblog (check it out here). The recipe is posted here at Hambones.org 🙂
The last recipe is for “Light Oat Bread“, and is one I found while blog-surfing (photo). The original recipe is at AllRecipes.com, here. I made it almost as-is the first time I made it, except I substituted bread flour for the all purpose flour, and I added vital wheat gluten. That’s something I have always done to my dough in the bread machine. I think it makes it rise more, and produces a better loaf. The first week I made this bread, I used all white flour. The second time, I used 2 cups white bread flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour (and I added a bit more vital wheat gluten, since wheat doesn’t rise as well for me as white flour dough). The loaf is not as high and light, but it’s still good. And hopefully a bit healthier for us. I’ve posted my version of this recipe here.
I need to work on my menu for this upcoming week… and maybe find another new recipe or two to try 🙂
Yummy! Glad you had good luck with the new recipes! I did my menu up yesterday and did my shopping this morning.
Everything sounds yum! I think it’s about time I started dinner! lol I am making a HUGE pot of chili, some noodles so I can make chili mac, and baked potatoes in case hubby wants a chili/cheese baked potato. Then I think I’ll make some banana bread! But I need to finish cutting down the weeds first.
*SIGH!* lol

The chicken was good but mine was a little too “blackened” for Don! ha
I still really need you to pick out a breadmaker for me! I want to try something different.
I am always looking for easy, yummy recipes.Ill be checking back! Honey lime chicken sounds really good
I need to start baking bread more. And I’ve been wondering if adding gluten would make any difference; I think I”ll try it. The oat bread sounds wonderful.
I am so glad you enjoyed the Honey Lime Chicken. =) It’s a nice variation on eating chicken, I think. Just enough different.
It all sounds great! I may have to try the honey lime chicken!
The bread machine is a good idea for this hot weather!
Hello! The Honey Lime chicken sounds soooo good! Thanks!!
