- Grapefruit Cornish Hens
-
- 3 Rock Cornish game hens, halved and backbones removed
- 1/4 c. mint jelly
- 1 c. freshly squeezed grapefruit juice
- 1/3 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 T. Dijon mustard
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3-5 grapefruit slices for garnish
- Directions
- Place the halves bone side down. With the heel of your hand, press on each breast, flattening it. Tuck the tip of the wing under the breast. Make a small slit in the skin between the breast and thigh. Stick the end of the leg through the slit. Then, place the hens in a non-reactive bowl just large enough to hold them. Whisk the remaining ingredients together in a small bowl (except grapefruit slices). Pour the marinade over the hens; cover and refrigerate for about 4 hours. To cook over charcoal: Grill the hens skin side down for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn and grill another 15 minutes, basting occasionally. To broil in the oven: Put the hens in the broiler 4 inches from the flame under moderately-high heat for about 15 minutes on each side, basting occasionally with the marinade. Garnish with grapefruit slices.

Macaroni and Cheese
Cook the macaroni until very firm. The macaroni should be too firm to eat right out of the pot. Drain.
In a small bowl, beat the egg.
In a large pot, melt the butter and sprinkle in the flour. Whisk together over medium-low heat. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, whisking constantly. Don’t let it burn. Pour in the milk, add the mustard, and whisk until smooth. Cook for 5 minutes until very thick. Reduce the heat to low.
Take 1/4 cup of the sauce and slowly pour it into the beaten egg, whisking constantly to avoid cooking the egg. Whisk together till smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the sauce, whisking constantly. Stir until smooth. Add in the cheese and stir to melt. Add the salt, seasoned salt and pepper. Taste the sauce and add more salt and seasoned salt as needed! DO NOT UNDERSALT. Pour in the drained, cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Serve immediately (very creamy) or pour into a buttered baking dish, top with extra cheese, and bake at 350˚ for 20 to 25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
