Chicken Kabobs
on the Grill
Serving Size: 5-6
1 1/2 20 oz. cans pineapple chunks, drain and save juice
2-3 large chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
8-10 pieces of bacon
1 large green pepper
1 large white or red onion
2 ½ tsps Weavers Dutch Country Seasonings Spicy Chicken Dust
1 bag bamboo skewers
Mix pineapple juice with Spicy Chicken Dust, and add chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Prep bacon, peppers, and onions by chopping each ingredient into 1 inch pieces. When chicken has marinated, prepare kabobs by skewering alternating pieces of chicken, bacon, pineapple, onions, and peppers until you have about 1 ½” left on each side for handling. Grill until center of chicken exceeds 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Serve over fried rice, if desired.
Stuffed Jalapenos
Appetizer Serving Size: 4
12-15 jalapenos, washed, seeded, and sliced in half the long way
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 1/2-2 tsp Weavers Dutch Country Seasonings Farm Dust
8 slices of bacon, cooked to a crisp, and crumbled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
To take most of the heat out of the jalapenos, put them in a saucepan, and cover them with water. Bring them to a boil, then turn heat down to a simmer for about 3 minutes. Drain the water and let them sit while you prep the stuffing.
Mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Farm Dust until well combined (you can use a food processor to save some time). Fold in bacon bits. Fill the jalapeno halves with the mixture, place them on a baking sheet, and put them in the oven. Bake for about 7-10 minutes. Enjoy!

Place buttermilk in freezer while prepping the rest of the ingredients. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Spray a 9x 13 casserole dish and set aside. Combine and mix your dry ingredients in a medium size bowl. Mix cold buttermilk and melted butter with a fork, then combine it with your dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until well combined, but DON’T OVERMIX. Flour counter surface and roll out or press your biscuit dough until it's about 1-1 ½ inches thick. Cut into 1 inch pieces, and spread on the bottom of your greased dish. (You can substitute store bought biscuits if desired.)

Mix eggs with ½ cup milk, and Farm Dust, and pour over the cheese layer. Use your large skillet over medium heat and melt 3 TBS butter. Add the flour, and whisk continuously for about two minutes (until your roux mixture is nice, brown and bubbly). Slowly stir in 2 ½ cups of milk, stirring constantly. Add your Salt & Pepper Blend, and cook and continue stirring until gravy is boiling for 1-2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat, and pour your gravy over the egg mixture.

Huevos Rancheros
Serving size: 4
8 corn tortillas
1-2 cups refried beans
16 pieces of bacon
8 eggs
1 cup shredded Colby Jack or Cheddar cheese
1 cup fresh Pico de Gallo, or your favorite canned salsa
Small bunch cilantro (optional)
Weavers Dutch Country Seasonings, Farm Dust
Weavers Dutch Country Seasonings, Shipshewana Fire (optional)
Start frying your bacon. An easy way is to place it on cookie sheets and bake in the oven at 400 F for about 10 minute, or to your desired crispness. Deep fry corn tortillas in hot oil for a few seconds on each side. Pat dry with paper towels. Heat refried beans. In the meantime, fry the eggs to your liking, then season with Farm Dust. Spread about 2 TBS of beans on each tortilla. Place 2 pieces of bacon on top. Top with an egg. Sprinkle with cheese. Spoon 1-2 TBS salsa over top. Chop cilantro and sprinkle over top. Enjoy!!
Note: If your family likes a lot of heat, like mine, have Shipshewana Fire handy on the side, so they can add it at the table.
