ITS ALIVE AALLLLLLIIIIIIVVVEEEE

Stuffed cucumber salad bites;

Cut cucumber into 1 1/2 inch slices
Carefully trim the skin off outer edges( if desired )
Hollow out the center of cucumber using a small hollowing spoon( as to form a bowl). Do not puncture the bottom!!! Some chefs steam the cucumbers for a few minutes,post hollowing,  I prefer them totally raw.

**Cube (very small cubes 1/8") mozzarella cheese,
mince green onions, green olives and carrots, add olive oil, course salt and fresh cracked pepper, mix these ingredients thoroughly**

Loosely fill hollowed cucumbers with mixed ingredients, add a small topping of your favourite salad dressing,and finally, top with a crisp mini-crouton.

I made this dish last night for the family. We normally have a plain ole tossed salad before our main course. ( last nights meal was grilled salmon, fresh green beans, and cous cous) I felt like trying something different and we all loved it. I had to make my wifes seperate because she doesn't like olives. I had 6 of 'em but could've devoured 106 if I had made 'em. This is something that one could add fresh tuna or salmon. Kinda like a garden fresh tar tar dish. Hhhmmmm, I just gave meself an idea for our next family dinner........

well i actually was refering to keeping this thread up there on the forums so people will keep posting these awsome recipes but it defintly could have been taken that way  

Thanks, it's nice to see that somebody got the humor in that.  :-)

Ok, I'm feeling better, got some stuff done that had been bugging me and now it's time for the:

STEVE'S MIGHTY MEATY MEATLOAF.

First and foremost get yourself 2 1/2 to 3 pounds of lean hamburger.  It's not meaty or MEATloaf unless you go with more than the recipe says.  Unless you like meat tasting bread.

In a large bowl add the meat, get the hamburger all spread out nicely.

Add: 2 eggs

1 envelope onion soup mix

3/4 cup plain or seasoned bread crumbs (your choice)

3/4 cup Vegetable juice (this is where I deviate from the recipe)

1/3 cup water

Now, with your hands or use vinyl medical gloves.  Start blending and squeezing everything together thoroughly.  I use vinyl medical gloves to ensure safe cooking and I hate getting my hands all gunked up anyway.  Once everything is thoroughly blended and it looks and feels nice and cohesive.  Put it in a LARGE baking or roasting pan  and mold it into a nice loaf shape.  Preheat oven to 350-375 degrees.   Place in oven UNCOVERED for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until done.  If you have a meat thermometer, it should read 160-170 degrees internally.  When done let stand 10 minutes before serving. 

Now meatloaf is a very flexible dish, if you like peppers, onions, scallions, or whatever type of vegetable go ahead and add it to suit your tastes.  The recipe says ketchup, but, I found vegetable juice is better for my tastes.  Now a friend of mine adds her favorite BBQ sauce into the mix rather than ketchup or veggie juice.  And it does taste pretty good.  If you don't want to cook such a large amount, make mini loaves and bake them for a shorter time.  Cooked meatloaf keeps well in the fridge or you can freeze it for later.  Cover with gravy or sauce of your choice or plain and enjoy.

IM just keeping this thread alive...

quixotic?

Grilled Corn On The Cob.

I pull back the husks and sprinkle some  Tony Sachere's seasoning on there, replace the husk and wrap in tin foil  and grill for about 20 minutes , flipping it every 5 minutes or so.
Even frozen corn with no husks comes out so good I don't even butter it.
I use Tony Sachere's on most everything I grill.

Foil Baked/Steamed/Grilled Tofu & veggies

-In aluminum foil packs cover bottom layer with a little olive oil,
-Place tofu( uncooked) cubes in foil, drizzle additional olive oil on tofu.
-Season tofu with fresh cracked pepper, kosher salt, a squeeze or two from  fresh lime, and smoked paprika.
-Sautee onions, garlic, yellow sqaush, and zuchinni in olive oil, place in foil pouch on top of the tofu, lightly reseason veggies( easy on the salt!).
-Fold the foil packet so minimal air escapes.
-Place foil pouch on the grill over low/medium heat for approximatly 20 minutes.

Serve over wild or brown rice with a huge jug of beer on the side, DELICIOUSO !!!
