Summer Pasta

1 box bowtie pasta
grape tomatoes
oregano
garlic
olive oil
salt
pepper

Boil the pasta as per package instructions. In a separate pot throw in the grape tomatoes. Add enough olive oil to coat the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper to taste and 2 cloves of garlic, sliced. Let the mixture simmer on med-low heat until the tomatoes burst. Drain the pasta and mix everything together.

You can also put the tomato mixture in the oven to roast. You can enjoy this either hot or room temp. Good recipe for picnics and bbq's.

from Erniesgirl (Val):

Pineapple Cake Recipe

2 CUPS FLOUR
2 CUPS SUGAR
2 EGGS
2 TSP. BAKING SODA
1 TSP. VANILLA
1/2 CHOPPED WALNUTS (OPTIONAL)
1 (20-OZ) CAN CRUSHED PINEAPPLE
(UNSWEETENED, JUICE AND ALL)

STIR ALL INGREDIENTS UNTIL MIXED WELL.
GREASE A 9 x 13 PAN.
BAKE AT 350 DEGREES 40 MINUTES.


from Carrly:

GLORIFIED RICE:

1 CUP COOKED RICE
20 OZ. CAN CRUSHED PINEAPPLE DRAINED
1/2 CUP DRAINED MARASCHINO CHERRIES
1 CONTAINER COOL WHIP
YOU CAN THROW SOME CHOPPED WALNUTS OR PECANS ON TOP

from Teachmichigan:

For this recipe, you can eat it in a bowl - and put it in the crock pot in the morning, so the only thing you have to do during BB, is scoop and eat!

In crockpot, mix 2 cans drained corn and 1 can drained & rinsed black beans and 1/2 C salsa. On top, place 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Top w/another 1 1/2 C salsa. Cook on low 6-8 hours. If you want, you can top it w/cilantro and a lime wedge - depends on how much "repeat" goes on at the beginning of the episode.

If you like spicy, use spicy salsa. Easiest, quickest dinner in the world!


from Lori32:

Just a tip I use everyday almost. There are very,very many things you can make in the morning,while it is still cool out and before the house guests are awake that you can prepare and cook,and then just place in the crock pot on warm.
I make:

Hamburgers and fries-(cook burgers and fries,place a sheet of foil between and cover and put on warm) Have toppings sliced and ready in sandwich bags.

Spaghetti-(prepare meat or marinara sauce,stir in cooked noodles,place in crock on warm) french bread and bagged salad round out the meal

Fried chicken breast-(cook as normal,place in crock on you guessed it,warm) bagged salad and micro steam veggies

Hot dogs.Here is a big hit here,place desired amount of dogs in crock on LOW,and they will taste like the good steamed kind you get at ballgames.

I have much more,and if you want to PM me or add me on myspace I will email you whatever you want.I love to cook,even more than I love BB,but its a close call.


from Puppypaws:
5 MINUTE CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 egg
3 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil
3 tablespoons chocolate chips (optional)
A small splash of vanilla extract
1 large coffee mug (MicroSafe)

Add dry ingredients to mug, and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

Pour in the milk and oil and mix well..

Add the chocolate chips (if using) and vanilla extract, and mix again.
Put your mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1000 watts.

The cake will rise over the top of the mug, but don't be alarmed!

Allow to cool a little, and tip out onto a plate if desired.
EAT !


from Twiggyish:
This is a very easy recipe.. It will be ready to eat when BB starts that night..

Pulled Pork -in the crock pot

1 large pork roast
several cups of water
Salt and whatever seasonings you want
1 jar of your favorite bbq sauce

In a large crockpot place the pork and enough water to cover the pork. (about an inch from the top of the pot)
Cover and cook all day. (Start on high and then turn down)
When the pork is tender and falls apart, take a fork and shred it. Drain off the remaining water. Then, pour the entire contents of sauce into the pot and stir. You can add whatever seasoning you like to this dish.
Serve on buns.

This isn't a recipe, exactly.. I just "dress up" cupcakes this way for parties and well,anytime the girls want them.
You just add 1/2 cup of multi-colored sprinkles/jimmies to your white or yellow cake batter at the last minute. They end up being little bursts of color throughout the cupcakes and are very yummy! And it is WAY cheaper than paying for the confetti cake mix kit at the grocery,when all it is essentially is cake mix and sprinkles! I suppose you could do chocolate sprinkles too,but I have never tried it.Anyhoo,this is my contribution for the moment.Bake some of these Thursday morning and enjoy them for the big night!! Happy Monday!

Oh and since we are talking food,does anyone here have a "tradition" as far as food during BB season? My kids know it's BB time when they see the big bag of Swedish fish on the counter,lol!!

from Nana731:
Ok here's my crock pot Italian Beef.

Put chuck roast in crock pot, with some cut up onions, garlic salt, cover with water. Let cook on high all day until beef tears apart with a fork. Shred it all up, then add 2 pkgs of dry Italian Seasoning. Serve on buns.


from me again, Erniesgirl (Val):
another option is to teach the kids to do it themselves:

TATER TOT CASSEROLE
ground beef
tater tots
1 can cream of celery soup (or you can use cream of mushroom)
diced onion (if you like onion)
salt & pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 375.
Brown the ground beef & onion together.
Drain off the fat.
Spray a casserole dish with Pam.
Place browned meat into casserole dish.
Spread the cream of celery soup over the meat.
Place frozen tater tots on the top layer.
Bake at 375 for about 50 minutes.

another one from Lori32:
Here is a cake you can throw together while you are (A) waiting for BB to record on the dvr for a few so you can ffwd thru commercials.. OR
(B) Take a few minutes before it starts to assemble

Dump Cake

1 box yellow cake mix
1 can cherry OR strawberry pie filling
1 can pineapple tidbits,drained
1/2 cup coconut (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
2 sticks butter or margarine

place pineapple and pie filling in a 13 x 9 glass baking dish.sprinkle dry cake mix,coconut and nuts over top,in that order. Cut butter up and sprinkle over all. Bake at 350 until golden and bubbly. Serve warm.. YUM-O

Psst... While I am in a foodie thread,anyone have any cheap punch ideas? I am having my daughters 12th and 13th b day party on Saturday,I am doing hot dogs,chili,chips cupcakes and punch..(any other cheap ideas?) There will be 20 of us,so I am stretching the budget. I'm getting silly string for the kids,and I'll make the usual jelly bean centerpiece. (following the party the grown ups are going to catch up with BBAD )
But I could use punch ideas and any other for that matter.. If you don't want to post here or have a site in mind,email me at l0ri1203@aol.com

That's a zero in my name,not the letter o..

Happy Monday!!

Hmmm.... I never had plain pomegranate before. I usually drink the cranberry juice w/ the pom in it. Which maybe you can try that.

Actually, I would just check and see what juice is on sale this week at the store. lol!

Cheap punch idea for kids! Red Hawaiian Punch - lemon lime soda - sherbet!

I keep the juice and 2L soda cold - dump in a punch bowl (equal parts or more juice than soda, just depends - I dont measure!) then float the sherbet on top - usually rainbow sherbet, or pink! I also buy marschino cherries at Sam's club and dump them into the punch as well!!

I can't believe I forgot this one.(Tap me if you get annoyed at my incessant recipe posting,I have an endless list of recipes rattling around in my noggin)

Sausage Pizza Squares

2 cans refrigerate crescent rolls
4 eggs,beaten
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 lb bulk pork sausage,crumbled,browned and drained.
salt and pepper
red pepper flakes (optional)

Press each roll of dough into 2 lightly greased 13x9 pans.(I prefer metal pan for a crisper crust)
Press to seal cracks and about an inch up the side of each pan. Sprinkle half of the sausage over each crust.Pour half of beaten eggs over sausage.Sprinkle Cheese over all.Season with salt,pepper and red pepper flakes if desired.Bake at 375* until golden brown and eggs are set.

Possibilities are endless here,you can change the cheese,substitute ham or bacon,use flavored sausage,etc etc.. These are excellent made ahead,but beware,the original recipe made one batch,I had to make it doubled because my family of FOUR devoured it and wanted more.It's THAT good.. Pop them on a pan in the oven,toaster oven or on a plate in the nuker. They are wonderful..

No problem Lori32 I think you will really enjoy this it is truly wonderful. And I live in Oklahoma and we have Blue Bell Ice cream and I found some last week called key lime pie and it tastes like the real thing even with chunks of graham crackers...so talking about really blowing a diet! I added some of that ice cream to that ugly duckling cake and oh my gosh!!! It was WONDERFUL!! lol

Punch
1 large can pineapple juice
1 package koolaid (choose color you want punch)
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup sugar
Add water to make a gallon

I used this in my wedding - it's surprisingly good, easy and you can save old gallon jugs to make it in so is easy to know how much you have. I usually freeze some just to have it floating in the bowl.

These are all great recipes, guys, but does anyone have any quick and easy vegetable recipes that are good for BB season?

I've just lost 20 lbs, and don't want to gain it all back over BB season, so any lo-cal, yummy recipes would be appreciated! They just need to be FAST so I'm not away from the computer for too long!

I pretty much live on pretzels and popcorn during BB....
If you like tuna, I dice up a ton of celery, a little sweet onion, and a couple cans of tuna (drained)... I throw a little celentro in there and mix it all togeather...with a little salt and pepper....you can add a little mayo but I usually dont.....
Then I sit my butt down in front of my computer and dip pretzels till Im stuffed.....

Rosem, clean and cut up some celery, baby carrots, bell pepper, ect.... make a little dip of plain non-fat yougurt with some chopped celentro in it....(good with pretzels too)...and its a pretty diet freindly snack..... Im a snacker...
Or since its summer...... cut and cube a watermellon, cantalope, honeydue....???? and have ready in a huge container in your frig for a sweet but good for you late night snack....You wont feel bad about it....

I didn't read this post until now,but I am dieting (trying) too,and I bought carrots,celery,grapes at the store this morning. Also,I eat the Quaker cereal Oh's ,its only 2 grams of fat per 3/4 cup. And its crunchy and sweet,cheap too. A friend told me she freezes fresh blueberries and eats them like candy,I have tried frozen grapes,but not blueberries yet. Grapes are yummy.
oh and one more thing,on the J&K episode with Emeril,he peeled the celery he used,and I do that now,because I love celery,but hate the stringy stuff..Ok Happy Hump Day Everyone!!

Chewpito - Great tuna idea with the cilantro - and I love onions, so that's a GO! I bought these multi-grain low sodium crackers at Sam's and they have sesame in them - so delish! That will go great with the tuna! Same with the veggies and dip - I'm hungry already! I buy the already cut-up fruit from the produce section and pair that with a nice fruit dip.

Lori - Good advice there with the 'Oh's' - I would have never thought of that - love the crunchy stuff, but don't want to have chips or cheetos. And I forgot about frozen grapes - definitely gonna do that. Peeled celery, huh? Never tried it, but I will now!

Thanks!

Rose,I never knew Oh's were that low in fat,I just liked them.but when I started dieting,I read the label and was pleasantly surprised.I imagine tomorrow I will fill the day with prepping veggies and stuff,cause I will be sucked into my tv and computer for the next few days.

BTW-The swedish fish are on the counter

Thanks, Lexie! I've been using Wii Fit - It's fabulous. I hate to exercise, but this is more like playing a game with your body.

For people that want to loose wieght try buying one of those excerzise balls..... than late at night when your back starts to hurt from sitting endlessly in your chair watching BB.... try sitting on it (the ball)..instead and place your feet to steady you and just bounce up and down lifting your heel's as you go up and down and holding your tummy in...... Its kinda fun and good for your abs and legs all at the same time... And its hard to eat while you do it...LOL...
