My Australian husband first made these burgers a few weeks after arriving in the USA. They became a hit with our family. They're a bit messy but delicious. Hunger busting burgers topped with every topping imaginable. Wrap your laughing gear around that. Stretch! Crikey! It's a meal in one go.
Simple, easy fish recipe. Any white fish will do! And even the kids will eat up the spinach! (My four year old loves this dish!) This recipe was passed on by my Aunt and was a little bit of this, a little bit of that - so tweak the ingredients to your liking!
This is an easy not-too-sweet, delicious alternative to tomato sauce based pizzas! Sure to satisfy everyone. Use any kind of barbeque sauce and it will still be a winner!
This is a delicious recipe for a focaccia sandwich with roasted eggplant and red bell peppers and sauteed portobella mushrooms. You can substitute your favorite veggies and use any Italian flat bread you choose.
The cheese, meat and veggies in this quiche don 't go into the blender. They 're layered onto the bottom of the pie shell. The egg, onion, garlic, milk, parsley and baking mix concoction, however, does. It 's blended and poured over the other ingredients, baked and served warm.
This is a simplified version of sauerbraten that does not require marinating. Sliced top round steak is browned and simmered with vinegar, brown-gravy mix, and spices. Sour cream could be added at the end of cooking.
Warm corn tortillas filled with spicy chipotle shrimp and garnished with cilantro, onion, and lime.
We like this one because it looks so pretty with dabs of green zucchini, yellow corn and red tomato. These veggies are folded into a buttermilk batter and baked with cheese and egg. Great zucchini treat, anytime.
Thanksgiving with 'all the fixin's' is blended into a savory meatloaf made with ground turkey, green beans, cranberries, and topped with pancetta (Italian bacon). Serve with a flavorful 'made from scratch' gravy to enjoy favorite holiday flavors in a different mode.
A simple recipe for barbecued halibut. Soy sauce and brown sugar add a special zip that is uncommonly delicious.
Shoulder or sirloin tip roast is done in a slow cooker with onions and tomato sauce for a total of 6 to 9 hours. The sauce is then thickened with flour.
This simple stir-fry has a sweet taste that appeals to teenagers. While broccoli is specified here, it's easy to add whatever vegetables you have available to it. Serve this over rice for a filling meal.
Poach a fresh piece of tuna for this satisfying salad. Toss with penne, blanched broccoli, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, olives, walnuts, garlic and parsley. Dress with a pungent infusion of anchovy and olive oil, then serve immediately.
Delicious and easy. Takes very little time once the sauce has been put together. You can also prepare sauce in advance, freeze it and use it whenever you want to make ribs.
This is a tasty dense falafel that contains no eggs. Serve on pitas with tzatziki or tahini sauce with lettuce and tomato.
Turkey and a variety of vegetables make a great filling for stuffed green bell peppers.
Fresh grouper is my absolute favorite. It is a mild fish and this recipe may entice even those who don't like fish to make it a favorite. The recipe is super easy and can be served with a minimum preparation and cooking time. Perfect for a warm summer evening supper. Garnish with lemon twists and parsley before serving.
The sunny, nutty taste of basil and pine nuts melds with the rich notes of sun-dried tomatoes in a chicken sauce flavored with garlic and a handful of feta cheese. Serve over hot pasta and top with a grating of Parmesan cheese.
