Hillman Family Recipes

  We really enjoy this recipe for buttermilk chicken from She Wears Many Hats .  We had extra buttermilk and decided to try this recipe.  Since the spices are mild, my kids were willing to try it and they all liked it (pretty rare experience at our house).  1 1/2 C buttermilk 1 T garlic powder 1 T dried Italian seasonings (I didn't have this, but used 1 t each: basil, thyme, oregano) 1 t ground red pepper or cayenne pepper 2 t coarse salt 3 lbs chicken pieces (I used chicken breasts) 1.  In small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, garlic powder, Italian seasonings, red pepper, and 2 t salt. 2. Pour buttermilk mixture into large ziploc bag or large baking sheet.  Add chicken and toss to coat.  Seal/cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (up to overnight), turning the chicken occasionally.  3. Heat grill.  Place chicken on the grill (discard the marinade) and turn occasionally until it reaches internal temperature of 165 F. ...

We have been making our own foaming hand soap for years, but finally found a recipe that makes it so much easier. We use old foaming hand soap bottles or we purchased some from Amazon. 1 oz hand soap 5 oz water 1T vegetable glycerin (not absolutely necessary, but it helps the pump last longer) 1.  Combine all ingredients in a 6 oz bottle with a foaming pump. With lid on, shake until the soap and water combine. 1:5 ratio for soap:water example: 1C hand soap: 5 C water : 6T vegetable glycerin (fills about 6 Bath and Body Works foaming soap bottles). Note: We like to fill a lot of bottles at once and combine it all together in a drink pitcher.  The spout on the pitcher makes filling the bottles easier.  We leave space at the top of the bottle to allow for the pump. Below are the amounts to fill about 12 bottles. 2 C hand soap 10 C water 3/4 C vegetable glycerin
