Some of our new favorite recipes that we've discovered:
Coconut Macaroons
Surprisingly simple and the perfect treat to take to a party
Ingredients:
3/4 cup large egg whites (5 eggs)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 (10 oz) bag sweetened coconut flakes
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
a pinch of salt
Pre-heat oven to 330. In large saucepan combine egg whites, sugar and coconut flakes. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until all ingredients combine together, about 10-12 minutes (mine didn't take near that long though). The mixture should be sticky and moist, not dry. Remove from heat and stir in salt, almond and vanilla extracts. Set aside on a dish and let cool in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Scoop tightly packed tablespoonfuls of the cooled mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Bake about 27-30 minutes or until golden brown. (makes 20)

Super easy and yummy chicken (this has become a dinner favorite in our house)
About 3 1/2 pounds chicken (I've used both thighs and breasts)
1 ( .7 ounce) packet of dried Italian dressing mix (such as Good Seasonings)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 12 inch x 9 inch pan and set aside, and/or it may be preferable to line your dish with aluminum foil as the sugar tends to caramelize while baking.
Rinse chicken, pat dry with paper towels.
Combine and the dried Italian seasoning mix and the brown sugar, mixing together well.
Dip and press the chicken pieces into the mixture, coating front and back and place into your prepared pan, topside of the chicken facing up. Any extra coating that remains can just be sprinkled over the chicken.
Cook for 50-60 minutes (until chicken is done) and enjoy!!
