Dessert: Tart Key Lime Pie

I like my Key Lime Pie mouth-puckeringly-tart; this is as close as I've come to re-creating the Key Lime Pie I've had in Clearwater, Fla. To make healthier, use fat-free condensed milk, nonfat sour cream or plain, nonfat Greek yogurt, reduced fat graham cracker crust; serve with nonfat, sugar-free Cool Whip. You can use the little mini graham cracker tart shells instead of in 1 pie pan; if using the minis, only back for 3-4 minutes. Key Lime Pie 2 cans sweetened condensed milk ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt 1 cup lime juice; Key Lime if you can find it 1 tablespoon grated lime zest 2 whole eggs (2) 9” graham cracker pie crusts (store-bought OR homemade, recipe below) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, either with a mixer or a whisk, thoroughly mix condensed milk, sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and eggs; for about 2 minutes by hand.

Entree: Orange Chicken

Allow at least 4 hours to marinate chicken; can marinate overnight. If you have a grill, these would be very good grilled-just be careful not to let them burn because of the sugar content. Orange Chicken ¾ cup orange juice ¾ cup apple cider vinegar 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon dried red chili flakes 1 ¼ cups apricot jam 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 3 tablespoons honey 6 chicken breast halves In a small saucepan, mix together all ingredients except the chicken breasts. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and simmer until the jam is melted. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.  In a shallow glass baking dish, place the chicken breast halves in a single layer. Pour the sauce over chicken and cover with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove chicken in baking dish, from the fridge. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Save the marinating liquid & place chicken, covered, in oven.  Bake for 40-45 minu...
