Whole Wheat Berry Flapjacks

Jed and his oldest brother, Jon, fell in love with these pancakes at the Twin Falls Farmer's Market.
It's a great way to use your wheat berries from your long term food storage!

1 cup whole wheat berries
1 cup milk
Blend berries and milk in blender for 3-4 minutes on Hi
Add another 1/2 cup milk and blend an additional 2 minutes.
Add 1 egg and 1/2 cup oil and blend together
Add 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and blend together
Cook on grill and enjoy!

Polynesian Chicken

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
18 bamboo skewers
1/2 cup Lowrey's Teriyaki Marinade
1/2 2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

The recipe doesn't call for any veggies but we added fresh pineapple, green peppers, onions, and whatever else we had... I think cherry tomatoes.

Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent them from burning

Cut chicken into strips about 1 inch wide
Thread chicken and veggies onto skewers
Combine all other ingredients except for the sesame seeds into bowl (or baking dish)
Let marinade for 15 minutes
Add to grill (one of Jed's favorite things to do!) for 8 - 10 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink in center. While grilling turn once and brush with remaining glaze.
ENJOY

Cabbage and Potatoes

We eat this meal on New Years Day (and lot throughout the year too). Cabbage leaves represent money and is a symbol of good luck for the rest of the year.
My family is rich in Welsh heritage and this meal was made as far back as my family can remember. This is really a "poor man's meal". When money was tough my ancestors made this meal without meat or butter and everything else came from their gardens. This might be one of those comfort foods that others don't like, but Jed's family has enjoyed letting me keep my family tradition alive while celebrating with them.

This is one of those recipes that doesn't have exact measurements....SORRY... :O) Just how I learned to cook.

In a large pot combine
-One head of cabbage cored and quartered (don't cut small than this because the cabbage will "cook away"
-A small bag of baby carrots or carrots cut into slices
-Potatoes peeled and cut into thick slices (maybe 4 0r 5. I normally add them last and just fill the pot)
-Diced Onion (maybe 1/4 to a 1/2 med onion)
-One package smoked sausage (the "horseshoe" type package and my mom and I really like the skinless)
-One cube of real butter
-Salt and Pepper to taste

Cover with water and bring to boil then simmer for about 2 hours. When stirring do so very carefully.

We always make cornbread and A-1 sauce is really yummy mixed with it.

Hot Wing Sauce

Super Easy....Jed loves his hot wings!
