Quest To Be The Best Chicken, Rice, and Queso-Vegetables
Ingredients: (2) Stalks of broccoli, (1) half head of cauliflower, (1/2) Bag of baby carrots, (4) Garlic cloves, (4) Cups of steamed white rice, water,
(3) Boneless/skinless chicken breast, (1) Teaspoon of seasoning salt, (1/4) cup of olive oil, (1/2) Cup of dried and grated Romano cheese (if you prefer dried grated Parmesan can also be used.
Directions: Rinse the chicken breasts off, and then bake them on 375 degrees in a shallow baking pan for 45 minutes. Make sure you add a small amount of tap water in the bottom of the baking pan, to ensure the chicken breast don't stick to the pan during the baking process. A half a cup of water should be enough. When the chicken breasts are done let them cool, then cut them up into medium sized squares. While the chicken breast are cooking , boil 4 cups of plain white rice, (I prefer Uncle Ben's or Success Rice). Start by placing the rice in a deep cooking pot, an add 3 cups of tap water, then strain the rice in a strainer to remove the excess dirt from the rice. Now, place the rice back in the cooking pot, an add just enough tap water to cover the top of the rice to about an inch above the top of the rice. Now cover the rice pot and cook on medium high heat until the rice is done, (roughly 20 to 23 minutes). Helpful hint: the rice is done when it is completely tender and no longer hard or crunchy. Now rinse and cut the broccoli, cauliflower, and baby carrots into bite size pieces. Finally, peel and slice the garlic. Next, add the olive oil into a large skillet, now add all the vegetables, the garlic, and the chicken. Now add the cooked rice on top of the chicken and vegetable mixture. Next, add the seasoning salt on top of the rice. Finally, add the dried Romano or Parmesan cheese to the final top layer of the ingredients. Cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for 10 minutes (making sure the vegetables are on the bottom of the pan closest to the heat). If you prefer less crispy vegetables you may want to allow your dish to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, but no lower than that; to avoid mushy vegetables. After the 10 to 15 minutes of cooking time, mix the Chicken, Rice, and Queso-Vegetable a few times and serve. Do not mix the dish until after the dish is completely done.

Directions: Preheat oven to 400. Take the corn beef out of the packaging, then thoroughly rinse it off on both sides. Place the corn beef inside a deep baking pan with with enough room for 5 to 6 cups of liquids without over flowing the baking pan. Now add 3 cups of beer - (not malt liquor, beer only ~ our recommendation: Budweiser), then add 2 cups of water. Finally add the meat tenderizer, and corn beef seasoning pack. Cover the baking pan with a lid or foil. Bake corn beef for 3 to 4 hours depending on the size of the corn beef, larger briskets make take longer to cook. Check the corn beef at 2- 1/2 hours for tenderness, by sticking a fork in the corn beef in various spots. The corn beef is done when both, the thickest and thinnest portions of the corn beef cause the fork to slide easily completely out of the corn beef. If not done during the first checking of the corn beef, allow it to continue cook until done. You may also add additional cups of water and beer as the corn beef cooks, if the liquids get low. Make sure you check the corn beef at least 2 to 3 times during the cooking process. When the corn beef is done, take it out of the oven. Then remove the corn beef from the cooking pan, and place it on a large enough plate or cutting board; then allow it to cool for 10 to 15 minutes. Finally, once the corn beef has cooled slice the corn beef against the gran to the thickness you desire with a sharp carving knife, (you may also want to trim any additional fat off the corn beef at this time). Lastly, take the cut portions of the corn beef and place them into a large strainer, and rinse the corn beef with warm tap water, (this is because corn beef is a naturally salty meat); allow the meat to drain, then serve and eat. Note: Add corn beef slices on rye bread or a kaiser roll, add a slice of Swiss cheese, and mustard for a great sandwich, OR cut up a head of cabbage, add in 2 cups of the corn beef juice, cabbage, and several slices of the corn beef in a large soup pot; then cook on medium heat for 30 minutes ~ for fabulous corn beef and cabbage.

Ingredients: (4 lb.) Your choice of Greens Mustard and Turnips or Collards, or Spinach, (2) Smoked turkey wings or (2) Smoked turkey drum sticks, ( 1 to 2) Teaspoons Seasoning Salt, according to your own taste, and (1/2) Teaspoon Baking soda, (5 to 6) Cups of water, or enough to semi cover the greens, and (3) Teaspoons meat tenderizer.
Directions: Clean, cut, and de-stim green of choice, (when choosing mustard greens, turnip greens must always accompany them, collards are strong enough by themselves, as is spinach strong enough by itself), then put greens to the side. Also for a short cut, frozen or can greens are an option to fresh greens from the garden. When using can greens strain the canning liquid off them and rinse well with cold water. Boil the smoked turkey in a pot with 7 cups of water, adding meat tenderizer. Boil for 1 hour and a half on medium heat, or until meat is tender and falling off the bone. If familiar with a pressure cooker, cooking the turkey in a pressure cooker will require roughly 30 to 45 minutes cook time. After meat is thoroughly cooked, remove bones from the pot, and all skin off the turkey, leaving only the cooked turkey and all juice from the meat water mixture in the pot, then add greens into the same pot with the turkey, and juice mixture, along with seasoning salt, 3 additional cups of water, and baking soda. Stir thoroughly and cook on low heat for 45 minutes. Final note: If cooking in a pressure cooker, once the greens and cooked turkey are combined in the same pot, cook only for 25 minutes not 45 minutes.

Jehovah Jireh (My Provider), Mt Sinai, Shish Kebabs
Ingredients: Your Choice of 3 pounds of meat of either: Boneless - Skinless Chicken Breast, Beef, Lamb, or Pealed and Deveined Shrimp , (3) Green Bell Peppers, (1) Carton of Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, (2) Red Onions, (1) Bottle of Italian dressing, 1 Teaspoon of Salt, (1) Carton of Whole Mushrooms, 1 Small bottle of Meat Tenderizer, a Barbecue grill, 1 Bottle of Lighter Fluid, 1 Can of Cooking spray, 1 Bag of Wooden or Medal Skewers, and 1 Medium to large bag of Charcoal.
Directions: Start by thoroughly rinsing all your vegetables off with tap water. Next, cut all your vegetables up into large bite size pieces (except for the mushrooms, and the grape or cherry tomatoes, simply rinse them and leave them whole). Next, thoroughly rinse your meat off, (if using lamb or beef, sprinkle meat tenderizer on the lamb or beef until you have covered it completely with meat tenderizer). Now cut your chicken, beef, or lamb up into large chunks, (if using shrimp, leave them whole). Next, make sure you start your barbecue fire in the grill. (See the charcoal bag and lighter fluid for instructions on how to safely start the charcoal fire in your grill). While the grill is heating up, begin layering your ingredients on the skewers. First, add the meat and push it on to the bottom of the skewer, then the bell pepper, then the onions, then the meat again, then the tomatoes, then the mushrooms at the top, (Note: If there is excess space on the skewer after the first meat to veggie rotation, just start the meat to veggie rotation again, until each skewer is filled completely to the top. Repeat this process over and over; on multiple skewers, until your ingredients have been completely used. Next, place each Shish Kebab skewer in a shallow baking pan, and pour Italian dressing on them, until they are completely covered in the dressing, then sprinkle 1 full teaspoon of salt on them. Finally, spray each skewer with cooking spray, and place them on a hot grill. Grill the Shish Kebabs for 20 minutes on one side, (make sure they are sprayed with cooking spray each time the skewers are flipped over), then flip them over to other side and grill them for an additional 20 minutes (if using shrimp 10 minutes per each side of the Shish Kebabs). You may also sprinkle additional Italian dressing on the Shish Kebabs as you grill them. When the meat of the Shish Kebabs is completely done, remove them from the grill, and allow the fire from your grill to simply burn its way down, meaning: (just allow the coals from the fire to burn completely out, then the grill will automatically cool down). After the Shish Kebabs are removed from the grill, place them on a large platter, and serve.
