Great addition to a summer or tailgate meal:

Margarita fruit salad
About 4-6 cups cut fruit (cantaloupe, grapes, honeydew, apple, etc.)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup margarita mix with no alcohol
1/4 cup roasted, slivered almonds (easy to roast yourself, if necessary)

Combine all ingredients in bowl.
Stir with big spoon to coat all the fruit.
May want to warm the honey for easier mixing (don't boil in the microwave!).
Chill out with a beer.
Then put the bowl in the fridge to chill salad! At least 1 hour.

Stir again before serving.

Can easily be transported.

This torte is great for having in the summer when there are fresh fruits available. It's very easy to make and is served slightly chilled which can be refreshing on those hot summer days. It's also very impressive looking so it's great to serve at parties as they will think you're a master chef!!!

Chocolate and Fruit Torte

Use a plain chocolate cake mix (you can go with a low fat one if you're watching your weight) and bake according to the directions on the box. Leave the cake in the cake pan and once the cake is completely cooled, top with fresh seasonal berries and/or fruit. My preference is to use blueberries, halved strawberries and kiwi fruit slices.

Once you have the fruit/berries on, pour a store bought plain (not flavored) fruit glaze over them so the fruit/berries have a light coating on them. Then refrigerate the cake so the glaze can set up. The great thing about this torte is that the glaze seals in all the moisture from the cake and fruit/berries making it taste really rich but not heavy. No one will ever know it was a store bought mix!

Take the torte out of the fridge about 20 minutes before serving to give the berries/fruit a chance to warm up a bit. Berries and fruit loose a lot of their flavor if you eat them while they're cold.

Pot Roast

My wife did this the other night - it was the best pot roast I've ever had, and I'm one fat doesn't-miss-a-meal motherfarker. I'm amazed at how simple it is to make.

Chuck Roast, 2.5 pounds or so
Packet of onion soup mix
Can of cream of mushroom soup

Put in crock pot, high for 1 hour, low for 8 hours

Made a nice gravy, too. OMG, it was scrumdillyicious.

SC if you like tender white fish and go to Sam's club, get their tilapia fillets. They are individually wrapped/sealed..something like 30 per package. Thaw a couple, rub a bit of olive oil on them...some lemon and dill weed then place under the broiler for about 3 minutes per side. Sometimes I put some Parmesan cheese on them after I flip them over.

They also carry center cut salmon fillets that way and those are good when prepped the same way and sealed in aluminum foil and place under the grate on the grill on high for 20-25 minutes.

Usually when I do the grilling I also take a sheet of foil and place veggies like colored bell peppers, onions and zucchini coated in a bit of olive oil and seal that up as well and place on the other side of the grill on top of the grate.

Make some rice and you have a good filling meal.

I've just started making salmon cause my husband really likes it. I never used to eat any but lately I've found that it's really easy to make and it tastes good (and is actually good For you, lol)

Here's one I made that I *really* liked. I just didn't use any pecans.

INGREDIENTS
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 4 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 (4 ounce) fillets salmon
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lemon, for garnish
DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a small bowl, stir together butter, mustard, and honey. Set aside. In another bowl, mix together bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley.
  3. Brush each salmon fillet lightly with honey mustard mixture, and sprinkle the tops of the fillets with the bread crumb mixture.
  4. Bake salmon 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with a wedge of lemon.

There's a little more effort to this after it cooks...

Easy Pulled Pork
Chuck Roast, 2.5 pounds or so
1/2 to whole onion, depending on taste, chopped up
Tablespoon vinegar
Packet of Old El Paso taco seasoning mix
Small can of green chiles

All into the crock pot, 8 hours on low. When it's done, use a couple of forks to shred the meat apart, put on a bun and add your favorite B.A.R. hyphen B. hyphen Q.U.E. sauce. Mmmmm, Mmmmm good!

Incidentally, this and the other are from the Fix It and Forget It Cookbook [amazon.com].

And there's the 5-Ingredients [amazon.com] book by same author.

Best fruit dip EVER! And so easy to make. Tastes great with strawberries!

2 packages of Philadelphia cream cheese (the kind in the boxes... the baking kind)
1 jar of Marshmallow Fluff (the large one)

Put both ingredients in a large bowl and beat until smooth.

yummy So easy to make and sooooo good!

That is very good. You can even buy it in the store too (at least around here).
