Chicken cutlets, bread them, put in a pan, cover in virgin olive oil sliced green peppers, and bake. Turn once. Add more oil if they seem dry.





Coat whole mushrooms in fish batter and deep fry.





Buy frozen ravioli, boil, drain, and toss with spaghetti sauce and a good quality parmesan cheese. Serve with salad and garlic bread.





My guys love roast beef (cook in water and onion and beer if you like!) and add BISTO to the drippings when cooked to make gravy. Boil taters drain and serve with boiled broccoli with melted velveeta over it and carrots.





Roast pork with applesauce, boil ribs and bbq and baste with bbq sauce. Marinate chicken breast in Italian dressing, bbq. Roast veggies in foil on the bbq with butter and seasonings. Salads of all kinds (keep various dressings/croutons/bacon bits around).





Shishkebob with chicken/onions/mushrooms peppers/bacon...still have lots of summer to go! :~)





For snacks, buy some grated tex mex cheese and sliced olives green and black...keep lots of flour tortillas handy and make grilled cheese and olives...coat with a little olive oil and garlic powder in a pan and flip.





Squish some Philly cream cheese onto a plate, top with salsa, olives and tex mex cheese, nuke for 2 minutes and serve with nacho chips.





Get a can of ham and a package of Philly cream cheese and two tablespoons or more of horseradish, and chopped chives, mix, let chill and serve with Triscuits.





Make or buy Spinach Dip and serve with pumpernickel bread (make a bread bowl and serve for a party).





Make bruschetta, (garlic bread topped with chopped tomatoes garlic/onion/olive oil, parsley/basil/oregano) on crispy bread this time of year is out of this world.





Always keep fresh washed fruits and veggies handy too!
CHICKEN BASIL


Serves 4


4 skinless chicken breasts (of approx. equal size)


4 slices white bread


3 rashers middle bacon


Fresh basil





Pre-heat oven to 180掳c


Cut crusts off bread and blend in a blender to make breadcrumbs. (It is not advised to used packaged breadcrumbs for this recipe as they are too dry) Place in a bowl


Chop the bacon really fine and add to the breadcrumbs. Finely chop the basil and also add to the breadcrumbs. Combine well.





Place chicken breasts in a slightly greased oven dish and top with the mixture.


Place in the oven with a bowl of water underneath the tray of chicken. This will help keep the chicken moist and succulent. (make sure the bowl is ovenproof)


Bake for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.


Serve with Potato Bake (see recipe below), steamed snow peas, broccoli and honey sesame carrots.


Steam the snow peas for about 2 minutes and the broccoli for 3 at the most. This will ensure that they stay green and crunchy., retaining their nutrients.


I would recommend a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc with this dish.


POTATO BAKE


5 large potatoes peeled and thinly sliced


1 large onion peeled and thinly sliced into rings


Salt and pepper


Cream


Butter


Sharp cheddar cheese, grated or shredded (depending on what you call it!!!)





Lightly grease the bottom of a medium oven dish. Place a layer of potato in the bottom of the dish. Then sprinkle some of the onion rings over the top of the first layer of potato. Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients have been used finishing with a layer of potato, making sure no onion is visible.


Randomly dollop bits of butter over the surface and drizzle with a little cream. Sprinkle the cheese over the entire surface and bake in a moderately hot oven for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft when tested with a knife.


HONEY SESAME CARROTS


Baby or Dutch carrots peeled and cut julienne style (matchsticks in laymen鈥檚!!)


Honey


Sesame seeds





Steam carrots for about 2 minutes then toss in a warm pan with a little olive oil. Add the honey and allow this to melt and heat through. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve immediately.





CREAMY CHICKEN CARBONARA


Serves 4 - 6


50 gm fresh fettuccine cooked according to packet directions (if you don鈥檛 have fettuccine try angel hair)

2 cloves crushed garlic


3 tsp mixed herbs


6 rashers middle bacon

300 ml cream

A little chicken stock powder

Add the bacon and mushrooms and cook well. Reduce heat and add cream, heat through at a simmer. When cream is heated, add the wine and the stock powder. Make sure you don鈥檛 use too much stock powder or it will be too salty. Make sure you taste all the time. Simmer for about 7-8 minutes until all the alcohol has burned off and the cream has thickened.





Serve over the drained pasta and sprinkle with fresh shaved parmesan cheese. Fresh crusty bread would be a lovely addition to this meal also.





I would suggest a Semillon or a moselle with this dish. If you want a nice dry white would also be good.

6 maggi beef stock cubes


6 tsp paprika


140 gm tub tomato paste


陆 cup small pasta shells


1 tin champignons, pieces and stems


Salt and pepper to taste


Fresh parsley, chopped finely


Shaved fresh Parmesan cheese to serve





Heat oil and putter in a large pot and add beef and onion. Cook until onion has sweated and beef browned. The beef doesn鈥檛 need to be cooked at this stage.


Dissolve stock cubes in water and add to the pot. Add paprika and tomato paste. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 1 minute. Add the pasta, cover and cook until pasta is almost done, stirring occasionally. (about 8 minutes)


While pasta is cooking, you may need to skim the surface from time to time.


Reduce heat to medium, drain the champignons and add to the pot. Simmer for a further 3-4 minutes or until pasta is fully cooked.


Remove from the heat and add the parsley.


Serve in warm bowls and top with fresh grated or shaved parmesan cheese. Try some fresh crusty Vienna bread with this soup.





The good thing about this soup is that is like a meal in itself. It is also a great winter warmer and quite delicious.


Rosemary and Parmesan Crusted Lamb Racks


Recipe serves: 4


4 by 4 cutlets of Frenched lamb racks (trimmed of fat cap, and cleaned of excess fat)


2 bunches fresh rosemary (strip leaves off and chop finely)


2-3 cloves garlic (chopped finely)


3 tbsps fresh grated parmesan cheese


2 cups bread crumbs


2 cups plain flour


2 eggs


Milk


Extra virgin olive oil


Butter


Sea salt flakes


Black peppercorn mill





Preheat oven to 180 degrees (350 Fahrenheit).


Remove the lamb from the fridge about an hour prior to cooking, this will ensure even cooking)


Place eggs into a mixing bowl and beat slightly, add a good splash of milk and a couple tbsps of olive oil and mix well.


Place bread crumbs in another bowl, add the parmesan cheese, garlic, rosemary, season liberally with salt and pepper and mix ingredients together.


Take racks one at a time and roll the loin part in the flour, being careful only to get flour on the meat and not on the bones.


Take the floured lamb racks and dip the floured part in the egg wash, allow excess to drip off for a couple of seconds and place the rack in the bread crumb bowl.


Gently cover the wet part of the racks with the crumbs and gently push on the crumbs ensuring that the entire loin is crumbed.


Once all the racks have been crumbed, place a pan on medium heat, add enough oil to cover the base of the pan and add a couple tbsps of butter.


Lightly brown the racks on all sides and set on oven tray (make sure the racks are standing up straight, you may have to prop them against the edge of the baking tray).


Depending on the size of the racks and degree of cooking bake for the following time.


Rare: 12 minutes


Med rare: 16 minutes


Medium: 18 minutes


Well done: 23 minutes


Let the racks rest outside of the oven for about 5-8 minutes before serving. Racks can be either cut into cutlets for serving or left as a whole rack.


Great with a rich red wine jus, and even better with a glass of Shiraz (Syrah) on the side.





Hope this helps and have a great day night!!!

Here's a good one, we call it Sunday Chicken.


In a 9x12 baking pan put stove top stuffing ingredients, (don't cook it first) take boneless chicken breast and place them on top of the stuffing mix. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese, salt %26amp; pepper. Make instant(or real) mashed potatoes and spread it on top like you're icing a cake. Put in 425 degree oven for 30-40 minutes depending on thickness of the chicken. Now all you have to do is make a vegetable and you're done. Make extra, it's great for left overs.
cook up a box of your fav noodles and put them in the fridge to cool. while noodles cool cook up 1-2 chicken breasts and cube it up. mix chicken and noodles add some dressing ( i prefer viva italian) and serve cold. It's fast and easy, also great on a hot day.
