2 Ingredient Sherbet

2 Ingredient Sherbet
1 bottle of orange flavored soda (Sunkist is my personal fave)
1 can Eagle brand milk.

Stir the two ingredients together and pour into a freezer.  It's that easy.  Really.  I adapted the recipe for hubs little home made freezer, just enough for the two of us by cutting the recipe 75%.  I eyeballed about 1/4 bottle of the soda and 1/4 of the Eagle brand milk.

Hub used an old rotisserie motor, peanut butter jar, some nuts and bolts and a home made metal stand to make a little ice cream freezer.  Quite ingenious, don't you think?  The rotisserie runs on a D battery, so it works while inside the deep freezer eliminating the need for ice.  Of course, you can make this recipe in a purchased ice cream freezer too.

Grill the Vegies!

I spent most of the weekend working the garden and hub cooked on the grill.  He's a big fan of dutch oven cooking so he put a chicken in to roast that was out of this world good.  He simply rubbed the chicken with vegetable oil and sprinkled on lemon pepper then placed it on a lettuce bed inside a dutch oven and dropped some chopped celery around it.  Once the coals were white hot, he put some on the lid and set the pot over the rest.  Rotate the lid about every 30 minutes for 1 1/2 hours.  This same recipe works in a crock pot.  (P.S. the lettuce in the bottom is to keep the chicken from sticking to the pot.)  BTW, resist the temptation to open the lid and look.  You lose the heat and increase the cooking time.

Hub then marinated a variety of chopped vegetables in a Zesty Italian dressing.   Yellow squash, zuccini, onion, carrot, potatoes, and bell peppers.  He put them in a large zip lock bag and poured the dressing in.  For about an hour they marinated being turned over each time he walked by.  Oil the vegetable grill bed. He cooked them over hot coals for about 20-30 minutes before the chicken was ready.  I feel like we feasted!  For dessert we ate a sherbet we made in his home made freezer contraption.  Check my next post for that.  It's amazing.
