Some Tasty Beef Jerky Recipes
Beef jerky was not originally considered as a snack food because they were a necessity. Folks used to cook recipes of beef jerky to help them survive the long travels in the wilderness. They also used beef jerky recipes if they had to find a way to keep meat edible through the winter. Since there was no refrigeration in those days, ships, armies, and travelers would rely on preserved meat.

In this day and age, we use beef jerky recipes to prepare a delicious snacks. Folks who like to hunt usually cook up beef jerky recipes. After all, the best beef jerky is made from wild big game. Great beef jerky recipes use meat from deer, moose, elk, and other similar animal. However, most of us do not realize that we can make our own beef jerky recipe. Cooking beef jerky at home is not a widespread practice. I have to admit that I had been eating Slim Jim jerky for years before I even realized that I could make my own. It would have been nice if I had realized it sooner.
For the past several months, I have been trying to perfect my beef jerky recipes. I have managed to impressed a lot of people who were not beef jerky fans. Before she tried my creations, my mother would not touch the stuff. In her opinion, beef jerky was disgusting, oily, and awful. I can’t really blame her because the majority of the store-bought beef jerky recipes are of poor quality. Most of their original flavor have been lost because they've been sitting in plastic bags for months, and have been stuffed so full of artificial preservatives.
In contrast, homemade beef jerky recipes can preserve the flavor of the meat for a longer period. The flavor of the meat intensifies when you dry it and turn it into beef jerky. People who only like mild food may not appreciate beef jerky because they often have an intense flavor. Nonetheless, a lot of people also love beef jerky recipes. You should try some homemade beef jerky, even if you have not enjoyed beef jerky in the past. After all, you don't have to keep eating it if you don't like it. However, you will have found a delicious new treat if you do like it.

Mexican Grilled Chicken with Tomato Avocado Salsa
Almost everyone loves Mexican food regardless of where they are from. Here is a Mexican recipe for grilled chicken that you can create in your own kitchen. This recipe is very easy to make and you can be sure that your friends and family will enjoy it.
Mexican Grilled Chicken with Tomato Avocado Salsa
Ingredients to serve 4 people:
4 boneless chicken breasts (leave the skin on)
2 large tomatoes
1 small red onion
1 peeled avocado
2 jalapeno peppers or 3 to 6 fresh serrano chili peppers (the more the spicier; start with 3)
3 cloves garlic, unpeeled
2 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
Olive oil for basting the chicken breasts
Cut the tomatoes and red onion into thick slices.
Cut the peppers in half and discard the seeds.
Put the garlic cloves and the tomato, onion, and pepper slices on the grill. Let these grill with the lid closed until the vegetables and peppers are charred and garlic skin comes off (about two minutes on each side).
Remove the vegetable, pepper and garlic from the grill and chop them up and mix well. Stir in the lemon and orange juice and season with salt and/or pepper (to desired taste).
Using half of this mixture spread it over the chicken breasts (be sure to rub it under the loose skin) and let it marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or up to four days refrigerated.
When you are ready to grill the chicken baste it with the olive oil and place it on a grill that has been preheated on high. Cook the chicken breasts until the juices are clear - about five minutes on each side.
While the chicken is grilling chop up the avocado and stir it into the remaining half of the vegetable, pepper and garlic mixture. Add the cilantro and stir everything well.
When your grilled chicken is cooked to your satisfaction remove it from the grill and cut it into one-half inch slices. Now serve it to your friends or family with the grilled tomato avocado salsa.
Remember that food safety is very important. You want your barbecue to be both fun and safe for everyone. Always be sure that you cook meat completely. Cut into the chicken breast at its thickest part, when they are completely cooked the juices will be clear and the meat will be white. Keep all utensils you use to handle the raw chicken separate from the ones you use to handle the cooked meat. Be sure to wash your hands after handling the raw chicken. Cross contamination of bacteria can be as risky to your health as eating raw meat.

The History of Sugar1 and Information about a Special “Sugar Free” Substitute
The History of Sugar1 and Information about a Special “Sugar Free” Substitute
Sugar has been around for quite a long while and yet it didn’t used to be a common as it is today. It continually amazes me how the dimension of time seems to shift the value that we assign to our inanimate possessions. However, it isn’t that amazing in an economic sense. The “supply and demand” mantra seems to logically imply that it is the amount of demand that changes our perceived value of an item.

The Origin of Sugar2
If you were to guess the origin of sugar, where would you pinpoint it? I probably would have said India or some exotic country like that, but it turns out that according to my online source, sugar is thought to have originated in Polynesia. From Polynesia sugar is thought to have spread to India (I was almost right), and then--according to my online source3--it was “discovered” by a King Darius (or rather more possibly his minions) from Persia. By the way and just as a side note, I think that this would be the same King Darius who is mentioned various times in the King James version of the Bible.
The sugar story continues with additional “sugar invasions” as I like to call them. Persia which had once been the invader was now the invaded. It was invaded by the Arabs who didn’t fail to take notice of this substance called sugar. I think it is interesting that my online source also mentions that Spain and North Africa were also invaded by the Arabs. My source hints that it could have been this invasion which could have been likely to introduce the invaded to sugar whether by accident or not. I would assume that methods of growing and preparing sugar also came to these countries via the Arabs/Persians/Indians/Polynesians.
Then of course there was the dawning of the European age (do I sense a western movement?). My online source says that the Crusades (which according to another source3 was a war fought over the city of Jerusalem) which I believe took place in the Middle East and some parts of Spain and Africa) was what brought the Europeans to a knowledge of this sweet substance.
When the returning crusaders brought the sweet stuff home to Europe, it was not immediately diffused across the nations. No, instead the process was again a slow one and also an expensive one. According to http://www.sucrose.com/lhist.html, sugar in 1319 AD sugar cost “two shillings a pound,” which is about the same as charging a U.S. citizen $100, just to buy a kilo of sugar. Wow! That’s a lot of money to bake a cake!
The Downside of Sugar and the Sugar Free Revolution
Over the centuries sugar became more and more available and people loved it. However, people also began to notice that sugar didn’t always have sweetly positive effects on their health and well being. Sugar began to be associated with less-than-desirable conditions or effects. For instance, according to another online source4 sugar can lead to the following negative outcomes:

Can negatively impact the immune system
Can be a contributing cause of hyperactivity
Can be a contributing cause of anxiety
Can make the body less able to defend itself against infection
Can debase lipoproteins
Can lead to a debased amount of chromium, etc.
A sinus problem like sinusitis has been thought to be aggravated by sugar5
Because of these and many other reasons, people have begun the search for sugar substitutes and sugar free foods. In fact, there are a great variety of sugar free products available which include sugar free chocolate, sugar free gum, sugar free peanut butter cups, sugar free fudge, sugar free brittle, sugar free gummy bears, sugar free syrups, sugar free cookies, sugar free wafers, etc. I’m not sure what all of these sugar free products are made of, but one sugar free substance that this article can possibly introduce to you to is Xylitol.
Xylitol Information
If you have considered switching to a product that is natural and yet not sugar, Xylitol has some interesting characteristics that you might want to consider.
Xylitol is not artificial. Xylitol actually occurs naturally in your body. According to another online source our body is able to produce 15 grams (give or take). Xytlitol also occurs naturally in nature. You can find it in a variety of vegetables or fruits some of which include corn and raspberries. Xylitol has also been found to actually provide dental benefits. Xylitol does NOT promote tooth decay and even better it seems to help prevent tooth decay, although I must admit my online source does not show conclusive statistics.
