The only bad thing is, our tomatoes out west, don't taste near as good as those east of here.

That must be true in your northern lattitude, and with perhaps store-bought tomatoes.

Here in California, the home gardeners and the Farmers' Market shoppers get to eat some of the best-tasting tomatoes that most of us have seen on either side of the Alleghenies or even the Rockies.

Now, hot banana peppers, they are simply never as good here as...

Don't you hate having to think of what to eat for dinner every day? It's nice to think back of when you were a kid and all you knew was being called for dinner and it was ready to sit down and eat. Now most of us have to think of something every day that tastes good and is interesting. I have picked up a few things on the Food Network, but it is hard when you only cook for two. I must remember those stuffed tomatoes, when I have a bunch of leftover chicken. The only bad thing...

BTT in case anyone has any more! I appreciate the ones already posted, and have tried several out....the kids are loving the "new" ones!

Awesome! Thanks guys! In looking thru these I've seen alot of these I can actually make up and keep in the fridge, just to pull out when I get home and eat!

Ms M-we love the pulled pork bbq sammies! Thanks for reminding me, I had forgotten!

You guys rock!

We always liked stuffed tomatoes in the summer.
I stuffed with tuna or chicken salad and served on top of a tossed salad

Hey Chris, do you guys like shredded/pulled pork sammies? I don't do much with my crock pot so I'm not gonna be much help but I do these sandwiches. I just take two Boston Butt Roasts, salt, pepper, seasoning salt or red salt as Connor calls it, maybe some garlic powder or minced fresh garlic, remove strings from the roasts and put them in the crock pot. For that amount of time I'd cook them on low. When your ready to serve just take two forks and shred/pull the meat. Serve the...

1.5 lbs stew meat
1 envelope beefy Lipton onion soup mix
1 can sliced mushrooms (small can)
I can cream of mushroom soup
2 cups red wine

cook 10 hrs on low

serve with egg noodles

I usually double this recipe and serve it at parties and it is a huge hit! When I double it, I use a whole bottle of wine. I always use a Cabernet. Something inexpensive like Yellowtail

Chris,

Here is that dessert recipe I told you about:

10 Small Butterfinger bars (they come 10 to a package around here at the Dollar General store)
1 large package of instant vanilla pudding (off brand is fine)
1 large cool whip (I use generic brand)
1 package of twinkies (Again I use off brand)

Prepare vanilla pudding according to instructions and give it time to set up in the fridge. Cut up twinkies into thirds and place in the bottom of a Pyrex...

I sometimes make a giant fruit salad and serve a roll with it. This is great on a hot day when you don't feel like cooking or eating much. I have a great little quiche recipe you make with Bisquick. Very fast and tastes great.

One thing I need, is recipes for two people. All the cooking shows and most books are for families. We don't care much for leftovers, so it is hard to cook for just two. It is very hard to buy meat or much of anything, for just two people....

I used to serve a tossed salad,cheese tray and garlic toast with iced tea.
My family loved it and it was light enough to not make one go to sleep before bed time.

Now,this one is for Guy, Toast two slices of bread in the toaster,butter the inside of it,pop your cheese in ,pop it in the microwave and melt the cheese. No skillet to clean up.

Thanks guys! These sound great!

BTW, Shelly, I'm one who likes the ice cream better w/raw eggs, my Mom freaks cause we'll all die if we do! What she doesn't know won't hurt me... I like consistency better than when the eggs are cooked.

A very easy and satisfying summer recipe for our household is this salad, served with plenty of toast drizzled with olive oil:
Heirloom tomato, basil and fresh mozzarella salad

In my version of that recipe, I use balsamic vinegar which tend to be sweeter than other vinegars, and add some cayenne and freshly ground black pepper for spice. I also grow my own...

Crockpots are a gift from God aren't they?

I often cut up some chicken breast, throw pieces in a ziploc bag with a dash of olive oil or veg oil and sprinkle in some Lawry's seasoning or Mrs. Dash or just throw in a fajita seasoning packet and then dump the bag into the crock pot on low setting. You can also leave the chicken breast in whole pieces if you prefer.

Chicken can be put in a wrap, on salad, taco shells, bun or make chicken/cheese quesadillas using...

Do ya'll have a Sam's or Costco? They have chicken patties and lots of other stuff that make good(kinda), quick meals. I know you'd have to put the oven on, but probably not for too long. I put stuff in the toaster oven alot so it doesn't get too hot in the kitchen.

I make stew in the crock pot a lot. If you don't want to go to the work of putting in all the veggies and stuff, just cook the stew meat in some cream soup and when done, put over noodles or rice. Another meal we like is quick and good. I just take one big can and one small can of chicken noodle soup and bring to a boil. Then add Bisquick dumpling dough and cook ten minutes without lid, then ten minutes with lid and it's done. Serve with fruited jello.

Heres another one........

Take two slices of bread.
Place cheese preference onto one side of bread.
Place other bread on top (making a sandwhich)
Place sanwhich on heated skillet unti; golden brown on one side.
(Heres the hard part) Flip sanwich over and brown on second side.
There you have it. A grilled Cheese Sandwhich.

LMAO! Thanks Guy! That's usually what happens-along with sandwhiches or take out-and the kids are tired of it!

You got all fancy on me with the boiling though! One kid likes them cold *yuck* and the other microwaves his own!

Re: Summer Recipes anyone?

Soapywoepy,

This can be done in either two ways.

Take one, two, or three hot dogs.

Place them in boiling water for about 7-10 minutes.

Place cooked hot dog into bun.

Place condiments on hot dog.

or:

Take hot dog and place in microwave

Set on time cook for 1 minute.

Place hot dog on bun.

Add condiments.

Hope I was of some help to you. Let me know how they turn out!!

Hey guys,

I have been working alot of extra hours, it's close to 7 by the time I get home so was wondering if anyone had some quick, cool recipes for summer they would share with me?

Crockpot recipes would be wonderful, so that I could throw everything in before I leave for work at 10:30 am and not worry about it til I get home between 6-7 pm. I have a few we like, but two hours before you have to add stuff and that's just not feasable for us.

Thanks in...
