Sheding of the winter recipes and bringing in the summer

ones!

 

 

For my meal planning, I'm looking for light, meatless and

pouch (grilling) recipes.

 

Do you have any for me?

I love grilled Asparagus. I just toss it in olive oil and sprinkle some course sea salt and pepper on it and grill it until it is limp, but still a little crisp.

Meatloaf In An Onion

 

1 lb. ground beef

1 egg

1/4 cup cracker crumbs

1/4 cup tomato sauce

1/2 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp dried mustard

4 large Vidalia onions

18-inch heavy-duty aluminum foil

 

In a 1 gallon plastic self sealing bag, combine the first seven ingredients. Mix by squeezing the bag and set it aside. Cut the root ends off the onions to ease removal of the center, leaving a 3/4 inch thick shell. Divide the meat mixture into four portions and roll them into balls. Place balls in the center of onions halves. Put the onions back together again. Wrap each onion in foil and fold the foil at the top and on the sides to make a packet. Cook over coals 15 to 20 minutes on each side.

Love Cobb Salad!!!!!!!

We usually grill on the weekends for the entire week. So we do a lot of chicken during the summer months. There are four of us at home and 2 chicken breast usually is enough for the salads since I use A LOT of lettuce.

Another quick easy one is home made Caesar Salad

2 grilled chicken breast shredded
1 head of Romaine lettuce
1/2 red onion
crutons
Caesar dressing
the boys love it and I usually have to use 2 heads of lettuce

Chicken Salad Boats

2 grilled chicken breast shredded
1 cup diced celery (I run mine through the processor)
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/2 mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon white pepper (I use black pepper)
1/2 cup chopped cashews

Pita pockets

Mix chicken, celery, onion, mayo, pepper and cashews spoon into pita pockets and serve.

Quick and Easy Quesadillas

2 chicken breast shredded
1 cup mexi cheese (I use the Mexican 4 cheese blend)
1 can green chiles
small flour tortillas

on one tortilla layer chicken green chiles and cheese top with second tortilla. You can either microwave, heat in skillet or on your George Foreman gill. (heat just until cheese melts)

BLT Chicken Salad


1 med cucumber
4 cups mixed salad greens
2 grilled chicken breast shredded
4 sliced of cooked bacon crumbled
grape or cherry tomatoes halved

Dressing for BLT salad
1/2 cup mayo or salad dressing
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 glove garlic minced.

I make my salad dressing up and let it refrigerate 24 hours before serving.

Grilled BBQ chicken baked potatoes

I grill thighs for this debone and then put in the crock pot with one bottle of BBQ sauce on warm for 8 hours (while I am at work) When I get home I bake (in microwave) 4 extra large potatoes when done top with BBQ chicken. It's a family favorite.

I have more salad recipes but I will have to drag them out and post them.

I'm into easy-peasy recipes for the summer too...here is a salad you might like.

 

Grilled chicken salads

 

Make a regular salad with lettuce/spinach, tomato, carrots, radishes, green onion or what ever veggies you have on hand for salad makings. Toss well. Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the top. Next grill 4-6 boneless,skinless chicken breasts until done through. Let cool. Slice up in thin strips the short ways and sprinkle on top of salad. Serve chilled with Honey Dijon dressing.

 

Honey Dijon dressing:

1 TBS Dijon mustard

2 TBS honey

3 tsp lemon juice (optional)

6 TBS Mayo or Miracle whip

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

1/4 C. oil

 

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Chill. You can keep this in a jar in the fridge for up to 3 months.

 

------------

 

I had this one time at a Chili's restaurant. They served them on dinner plates with dressing on the side for you to put on yourself. I'm not a big fan of mustard in any shape or form, but this dressing is out of this world good! Hope ya like it.

Well, I found out by accident that Taco Salad was very refreshing during the summer and if you left out the meat it was really light fare.

 

Taco Salad

 

The amounts are kind of decided by the number of

people you intend to feed...

 

This serves 4-6 hungry people.

 

1 lb. hamburger, browned, drained of fat

Optional: 1 pkg. Lawry's Taco Seasoning mix

Mixed lettuce greens, mainly Iceberg lettuce

Onion -- 4 green, chopped or 1 small white, chopped

1 can sliced olives, black California type

2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped

Nacho cheese tortilla chips

2 cups Cheddar and/or Monterey Jack Cheeses, shredded

1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained

1 bottle Catalina Salad Dressing (or Spicy French)

 

Brown hamburger, mashing during cooking to make small

crumble. Drain off fat.

Optional: Sprinkle Taco seasoning on meat,

add 1/2 cup water, and cook till liquid is absorbed.

 

In large bowl toss letuce, onions, olives, chopped

tomato, kidney beans, and cheese. Add warm hamburger.

Add enough dressing to coat ingredients but not

drown them. Grab tortilla chips and crumble into

salad mixture and toss. Serve immediately.

 

If you leave out the meat, you have a lighter salad.
