When they get too big they have too much pulp and won’t do well on the grill. Ingredients: Zucchini squash Olive oil Garlic pepper seasoning [...]

By August most of us who grow zucchini, or have friends giving us zucchini, are looking for new ways to serve them.

I’ve been making a fruit salad for my Fourth of July picnic for years now. I find certain combinations of fruit behave better together than others. This year’s was delicious. Ingredients ½ small seedless watermelon ½ large cantalope or honeydew melon (or a bit of both) 1 cup red grapes 1 cup green grapes 1 [...]
Tasty Meat Loaf
Posted in Recipes, tagged Recipes on April 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This recipe makes a very tasty, moist meatloaf and is easy to make. I don’t use any ketchup, tomato sauce, cheese or onion soup mix, so it doesn’t taste like a giant hamburger. Anyone raised in the 60′s will know what I mean; you either love it done that way, or hate it! I never [...]

Tilapia is another mild tasting fish. It’s fast and easy to make in the broiler. I like to add a little flavor with a parmesan topping. It’s also an inexpensive and easy to find fish as it’s farm raised. Ingredients 1 pound Tilapia Fillets 1 Tablespoon Butter Fresh Lemon Juice 3 – 4 Tablespoons Mayonnaise [...]

They are an excellent source of B-12, magnesium, potassium and omega-3 fatty acids. This makes them a heart healthy food. [...]
Roasted Whole Turkey Breast

We had a small gathering for Thanksgiving Dinner this year and I didn’t want to cook a whole turkey. Instead I opted for just the breast. It worked out wonderfully. It took less time to cook, wasn’t dried out and no dark meat leftovers. The trick to a moist turkey is to baste, baste, baste. [...]

This is my favorite salad dressing. It takes about 5 minutes to make and is so much tastier than the store bought versions. Ingredients ½ cup olive oil 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 1 garlic clove, crushed 1 tablespoon minced (finely chopped) fresh basil 1 teaspoon dijon mustard ½ teaspoon sea salt ¼ teaspoon ground pepper [...]
