Low fat or fat-free Italian dressing
Chicken Legs
Barbecue sauce

Wash chicken and remove skin. Trim any excess fat from chicken. Place chicken in a Ziploc bag or bowl. Cover with Italian dressing. Let marinate 30 minutes or more longer. Note: I usually start them marinating in the morning or after lunch.
Heat oven to 400. Remove chicken from marinade and place in pan (I like to place it on the rack of a roasting pan). Cook for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and baste with barbeque sauce. Return to oven for an additional 5-10 minutes or until meat is fully cooked. (donated by: Jennifer Kuch)

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Brown shanks in oil, about 20 minutes. Add water to cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour.
Add potatoes, carrots and onions and simmer for about 1 hour. In a small bowl blend flour into melted butter to make a roux, then stir this into simmering dish to thicken. (donated by: Jennifer Kuch)

2 lbs of firm, fresh red snapper fillets, cut into 1/2 inch pieces, completely deboned
1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup of fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/2 purple onion, finely diced
1 cup of fresh peeled, seeded, and chopped tomatoes
1 serrano chili, seeded and finely diced
2 teaspoons of salt
dash of ground oregano
dash of Tabasco or a few grains of cayenne pepper
Cilantro
Avocado
Tortillas or tortilla chips

In a non-reactive casserole dish, either Pyrex or ceramic, place the fish, onion, tomatoes, chili, salt, Tabasco, and oregano. Cover with lime and lemon juice. Let sit covered in the refrigerator for an hour, then stir, making sure more of the fish gets exposed to the acidic lime and lemon juices. Let sit for at least 6 hours, giving time for the flavors to blend.
Serve with chopped cilantro and slices of avocado with heated tortillas for ceviche tacos or with tortilla chips.

Optional: Can use shrimp and or scallops as a substitute for some of the fish. Can use a firm cod in place of the red snapper.

1 pound cod, (or any lean white fish) diced in 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Mix ingredients well. Marinate in refrigerator for two hours.

Step II:
Drain juice completely. Combine and add to drained fish:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Step III:
Mix well and add:
1 medium tomato finely chopped
1/2 medium onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon vinegar
4 ounces cooked tiny salad shrimp
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely minced (wear gloves)

Stir and refrigerate eight hours or overnight. Serve cold on a lettuce leaf with crispy tortilla chips.

Easy Roast Lamb:

4 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
5 pounds leg of lamb

Cut slits in the top of the leg of lamb every 3-4 inches, deep enough to push slices of garlic down into the meat. Salt and pepper generously all over the top of lamb, place several sprigs of fresh rosemary under and on top of the lamb.
Roast at 325-350 degrees F (165-175 degrees C) until the lamb is cooked to medium well. Do not overcook the lamb, the flavor is best if meat is still slightly pink. (donated by: Jennifer Kuch)

2 (2 pound) slabs baby back pork ribs
coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground red chile pepper
2 1/4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup minced onion
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoons liquid smoke flavoring (optional)
2 teaspoons whiskey
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dark molasses
1/2 tablespoon ground red chile pepper

Preheat oven to 300 degree F (150 degrees C).
Cut each full rack of ribs in half, so that you have 4 half racks. Sprinkle salt and pepper (more pepper than salt), and 1 tablespoon chili pepper over meat. Wrap each half rack in aluminum foil. Bake for 2 1/2 hours.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onions in oil for 5 minutes. Stir in water, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, liquid smoke, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, and 1/2 tablespoon ground chili pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Simmer for 1 1/4 hours, uncovered, or until sauce thickens. Remove from heat, and set sauce aside.
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
Remove the ribs from the oven, and let stand 10 minutes. Remove the racks from the foil, and place on the grill. Grill the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Brush sauce on the ribs while they're grilling, just before you serve them (adding it too early will burn it). (donated by: Jennifer Kuch)

2 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
