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.

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.

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

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..

EASY VEGGIE SNACKS
Easiest salad in the world: chunk up cucumbers and tomatoes and top w/a bit of lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper.
Or - dump a pint of grape tomatoes in a bowl, tear up 3 or 4 fresh basil leaves, spritz w/olive oil and season w/sea salt. You can add mozzarella to this, too, and it's fabulous!
Pull out your food chopper and in literally 5 minutes you can have pico de gallo that's good on top of salad, baked potatoes, etc.
Chop: 3-4 roma tomatoes, 2 jalapenos (w/seeds for spicier version), 1 serrano (again - seeds optional), 1/2 red onion, 1 bunch cilantro. Toss all this w/a 1/2-1 tsp. of olive oil, juice of a lime and season w/salt.

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies
1C flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 C shortening (or butter)
1-1/3 C brown sugar
2 eggs
2 C oats
1 C raisins
Put the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl. Add everything but raisins and beat. Then add the raisins. Stir and drop by tsp on a greased sheet. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
I got this recipe from the Quaker Oats label years ago. Sometimes I don't add the raisins, or I use dried cranberries instead, or add peanuts.

If you like Balsamic vinegar - try this:
1 quart strawberries, washed, stemmed, halved
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Ice cream (vanilla or strawberry)
Place strawberries in a bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, vinegar and pepper. Toss until well combined. Let stand 1 hour or all day. Spoon strawberries with juice over the ice cream. Hmm, hmm good!

Cake Mix Cookies:
What is so great is there is an almost endless combos you can create, especially when you consider mix ins. For example, a handful or two of choc chips are amazing with a Devil's food cake mix. I've made Lemon cake mix with coconut etc etc. So here is the basic recipe to follow;
Cake Mix Cookies;
1 box Cake Mix - Duncan Hines is my fav
2 eggs
Choice of 1 stick I Can't Believe it's Not Butter, Butter, OR approx 1/3 cup of oil.
Approx 1/8 cup water
1 or 2 tsp vanilla
If using Butter or I Can't Believe it's not Butter (that is what I almost always use) soften first. Oil is ok in a pinch but the taste isn't as good IMHO, and can get too greasy.
Mix all the ingredients together. If batter is too tight add a bit more water (varies from mix and add ins). The right consistency is similar to brownies. Either drop when first mixed by rounded teaspoons or chill and roll into balls. The chilled ones produce nicer looking cookies.
Bake in 350 preheated oven approx 10 minutes on a cookie sheet or aluminum foil sprayed amply with Pam. As with all cookies, leave in a couple min longer for crispy.
I usually make a batch, chill the rest and cook them hot per serving, a few at a time. Will store in fridge perfectly fine for a few days. For easy storage I often use aluminum foil sprayed with Pam. They seem to stay fresher that way. When stored in a covered bowl I've had to add a tablespoon or so of water. But trust me bake as many as you eat. They are best hot out of the oven.
One pretty variation is to roll choc cookies in powdered sugar. Toffee chips are great in vanilla (I added a bit of almond extract, with coconut in part of the batch). Your imagination is your limit. My fav though are the choc w/choc chips. Other add ins are butterscotch chips, white choc chips, any nuts, dried fruit, etc etc

Here are 2 salsa's that DH makes that are great for BB munching:
SPICY WATERMELON AND CORN SALSA
Ingredients:
2 cups diced watermelon (about 1/2-inch), seeds removed
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed (I cook my own corn then immerse the corn in cold water)
2 jalapenos or 3 serrano chiles, stem and seeds removed, chopped fine
Juice of 1/2 lime (2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preparation:
Place the watermelon, corn, and chiles in a medium bowl.
Mix together the lime juice, brown sugar, and salt until the sugar dissolves. Pour over the watermelon mixture.
Gently toss until everything is coated with the liquid.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the flavours to meld (watermelon breaks down remove some but not all of the liquid that is flavour).
Serve with corn chips or as a condiment for tacos, burritos, turkey burgers, etc.
MY TWEAKS
My tweaks dependant on the heat of peppers used after tasting.
I added chipotle chilli seasoning. The amount is up to you. Start with a little sprinkle. Taste as you go.
In my first batch I used 1 green onion including tops for color.
The second batch instead of green onions I used a little bit of finely diced red onion.
Mango Salsa
1 large mango, peeled and diced
2/3 cup minced red bell pepper
¬Ω cup minced red onions
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 to 3 small tai chilies minced with seeds (if desired)
2 tbsp each lime juice and chopped, fresh cilantro
2tsp sugar
1 tsp olive oil
¼ tsp ground cumin
1/8 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl (preferably metal)
Mix well
Let salsa stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. This salsa is better made the day before and refrigerated allowing the ingredients to marry. If preparing day before stir ingredients every once in awhile to infuse with liquid which will gravitate to the bottom of the bowl. For lower calorie offering used baked tortilla chips.

If anyone loves the combo of chocolate and whipped cream, this one's for you! I had the recipe years ago, but just do it off the top of my head now. You can vary it any way you want. I made this for my party on the 4th of July (about 35 people) and they cleaned the big bowl it was in.
You can bake 1 or 2 brownie mixes, depending on the amount of people. I did 2 for my party, but 1 would be fine for a smaller group. Or, just you!
Bake brownie mix and let it cool
1 or 2 packages of vanilla pudding (I make everything as light or fat free as I can) mix with skim milk according to package
2 packages of chocolate pudding, do the same thing, mix as directed.
1 package of light cream cheese, or fat free, if you prefer. I blend (use mixer) this right in with the vanilla pudding.
1 package of crushed heath bar, found in the baking section at the grocery. It's near the chocolate chips in my market.
2 containers of whipped topping (cool whip, I use the light)
Use a large bowl or nice desert bowl and layer. Break up the brownies in small pieces and layer with pudding, vanilla, then chocolate, sprinkle heath pieces here and there. You can use the whipped topping to layer or just pile it on the top, which is what I do. Sprinkle remaining amount of heath on top.
It's fabulous. :-)

I mentioned another recipe I found that I plan to try. It was originally based on Amish cookies called Ranger cookies. Not sure if these are identical but found this yummy sounding recipe and rumor has it they are pretty good. Thought I'd post here and will update as I go;
Wild Ranger Cookie's
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups crisp rice cereal
1 cup flaked coconut
In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat n eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the oats, cereal and coconut.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks.
Here's the blog I found this specific recipe. It has a good looking pic if anyone wants to see (I enjoy seeing food porn lol). I thought her blog had a few yummy sounding things. Still trying to decide on the breakfast casserole, but maybe with a few changes...

pasta caprese
got this out of the local papers food section a few weeks ago, they didnt list measures of any ingredients-i've made it few times Its gonna be dinner once a week this summer-
Tubular pasta (i used cavatappi aka muellers twists)
boil pasta- drain - drizzle with olive oil and a bit of butter
add chunks of FRESH mozzarella. minced garlic, grape tomatos (i cut them in half), and ribbons of fresh basil
the heat from the pasta slightly melts the cheese and brings out the sweetness in the tomatos
season with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper

Someone here on the boards posted a recipe for Red Eye Chicken (and I can't find it using the search engine) - but DS and I altered it a bit for a REALLY fast lunch today.
First - get 10 minute rice cooking or start chinese noodles.
Mince/chop: 1 garlic clove, 1" ginger (peeled), 1 small onion, 8 oz. mushrooms
Saute garlic, onion and ginger in 1 TB of oil. After 2- 3 minutes, add mushrooms. Cook another 2- 3 mintues on med. high heat and then add 1/2 to 1 lb. shrimp. Season all with sea salt, pepper, and a few red pepper flakes.
When shrimp starts to turn pink pour on sauce made of 1/4 C soy sauce, 1/4 C water, 2 TB brown sugar, 1 heaping TB cornstarch and 1 TB chili hot sauce (w/the Red Rooster on the front of the bottle). Cook until sauce thickens.
Spoon over rice or noodles and enjoy. It only took me 15 minutes from beginning to end, and was a delightful combo of sweet and spicy.

Martha Stewart makes those potatoes -
Boil potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. Peel, and halve each potato crosswise. Run tines of fork over rounded side of each half. Then put in a roasting pan (this is one she does with a standing rib roast - so the fat and meat juices combine with those potatoes!! )

. Here is a recipe that I have made many times. It is easy and the dough comes out great imo. This is for an herb bread but when I use it for pizza I don't add the herbs and cheese. I usually add 1-2 T. gluten to the flour but if you don't have it, don't worry.
Italian Herb Bread I or Pizza Crust
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (110 degrees)
2 T. sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tsp. salt
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup grated Romano cheese
6 cups bread flour (all purpose is fine)
Directions
1. Mix yeast, warm water, and white sugar together in large bowl. Set aside for five minutes, or until mixture becomes foamy.
2. Stir olive oil, salt, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, cheese, and 3 cups flour into the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the next three cups of flour. Dough will be stiff.
3. Knead dough for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and rubbery. Place in an oiled bowl, and turn to cover the surface of the dough with oil. Cover with a damp linen dish towel. Allow to rise for one hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
4. Punch dough down to release all the air. Shape into two loaves. Place loaves on a greased cookie sheet, or into two greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pans. Allow to rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Remove loaves from pan(s), and let cool on wire racks for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

I am partial to rib eye steaks. Delmonico if you are from the east coast. Second in tenderness to tenderloin. Best marbling of all steaks, great flavor on its own merit and if you add that marbling in that comes with a good quality piece of meat it makes for the best steak to me--VERY tender, great flavor and a texture that makes your mouth water as you chew.
I'd have them cut a steak about 1.5" to 2" thick from the small end--not the large end. Trimmed nicely, but not all the fat removed--just a bit left on the outside of the steak to create a buttery chew that can't be beat. Seasoning would be fairly simple, but enough flavors to blend nicely to help the meat--not take over.
Garlic powder, a bit of onion powder, white pepper, lowery's seasoning salt (a nice blend of spices with salt), a bit of paprika a splash of Worshtershire sauce. Repeat on the other side. Steak stays out for about 40 minutes--always cook steaks that are room temp--they cook much better so you don't get burnt outside and raw inside.
Start the grill and turn both burners on high to let the whole thing get really got. At the 40 minute mark, I'd turn off one side and leave the other side on high. The steaks go down on the side with no direct heat. Leave them be with lid down for about 15 minutes. Flip them and leave another 15 minutes. Time to vary based on thickness and weight. I shoot for just not quite to medium rare because when you take them off the grill and let them sit at least 5 minutes you get just the right amount of carry over to get them right on medium rare. Never cut a piece of meat open without letting it rest--the juices will run out all over the plate--all of the juices.
After 5-7 minutes under foil it's time to go at it. As Alton Brown says, your patience will be rewarded. The blend of those spices for me really brings out the flavor of the meat and also provides just a hint of the garlic. The rest you can't identify, but if you ate a piece of the same steak that hadn't been seasoned that way you'd notice something just a bit different.
If you can possibly avoid it, don't cook a good piece of meat--no matter what it is--over direct heat. That way you don't worry about flame ups, and the meat cooks slower and much more evenly. It's the only way to grill a 2" thick steak and get it med-rare in the middle and not burnt on the outside.
