Grilled Indian Chicken-Candace

Grilled Indian Chicken - Makes 6 servings.
I so love chicken and making it on the grill is even better! You should marinate the chicken for at least 3 hours for a mild flavor. If you want a more intense flavor try using more spices.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons crushed garlic
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1/4 cup yogurt
1 (3 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine ginger, garlic, turmeric, salt, and yogurt.
2. Marinate the chicken pieces in the mixture for 3 hours.

3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Grill chicken until juices run clear.

Crazy Good Coffee Pot Roast-Candace


Crazy Good Coffee Pot Roast (http://fastpaleo.com/recipe/crazy-good-coffee-pot-roast-2/)

* 1 5-6 lb. beef roast

* 1 large onion (thinly sliced)

* 8 cloves garlic (peeled and smashed)

* Sea salt, pepper, marjoram

* ½ cup strong brewed coffee

* 2 T balsamic vinegar ( I don't use the vinegar as the boys don't like it)

Place sliced onion and smashed garlic in the bottom of your crock pot.

Generously (but not too generously) sprinkle your roast with salt, pepper and marjoram.

Be sure to rub the spices into the meat on both sides. Place roast on top of onions and garlic.

Brew your coffee and pour over the top of roast. Add vinegar as well.
