My favorite marinade for chicken kabobs is lime juice, oil, garlic, s/p,
thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

Do you use key limes for your key lime pie? We can get them fresh in the
produce dept. in our supermarkets here (I'm in Houston). Each mesh bag holds
20-30 or so. Below is a very good key lime cookie recipe (posted in this ng
by ) that uses fresh key limes.

Key Lime Cookies

2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
Dash of salt (omit if using salted butter)
1/4 - 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 tbs. fresh lime zest*
1/4 cup fresh lime juice"
1 cup white chocolate chips
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped mac nuts
About 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar

* If key limes aren't available, these are just as good using regular limes.
You'll need 4-5 small key limes, or 2-3 large regular.

Sift together dry ingredients and set aside.

Beat butter & sugar until light & fluffy. Add lime zest & juice. Stir in
flour mixture slowly, then add chips and (if desired) nuts.

Shape into small balls (about 1" or less) and roll in cinnamon sugar.

Place 1" apart on greased cookie sheet. Bake 13 - 15 minutes at 350
degrees.

This will give you about 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 dozen.
