Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup whole milk or buttermilk

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well.
2. Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, sugar and vanilla and mix well.
3. Let the batter sit for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat a waffle iron.

1 Cup Cranberry Apple Juice
1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 TBSP garlic powder
1/2 TBSP ginger powder
1 pork tenderloin

1. Combine all ingredients and pour over pork tenderloin. Let marinade in the fridge up to 12 hours.
2. Grill or back and enjoy!

Works well on pork chops or venison chops as well. If doing the venison just marinade it longer. I guarantee you can’t even tell that it was venison.

1 Cup Soy Sauce
1 Cup Italian Dressing
1 Pork Tenderloin

1. Pour ingredients over pork tenderloin in a 9 x 13″ baking pan and let marinade in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
2. Grill tenderloin until about 130 degrees.
3. While grilling put pan with marinade in oven.
4. When tenderloin is close to being done, pull off grill and let rest for a few minutes. Slice and place in the pan and return to oven
5. Let cook at 325 for about 15 minutes.

Ingredients
9 cups Rice Chex® cereal (gluten free)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Preparation Directions
1. Into large bowl, measure cereal; set aside.
2. In 1-quart microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Microwave about 30 seconds longer or until mixture can be stirred smooth. Stir in vanilla. Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated. Pour into 2-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag.
3. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper to cool. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.

This turned out very good. I made a few changes (minor ones).

1. Used a package of chicken quarters instead of chicken breast – would probaby go back to just using the chicken breast.

2. Only used 1 package of ranch overall.

Very easy recipe and can be made in the oven if you want to speed things up – all depends on your schedule!
