Grilled Hamburgers and Hot Dogs.

This is an interesting feat every time. He's not used to using wood, he's always used charcoal. Given my choice I'd use wood every time. So guess who gets to start the grill and get it ready>>> Imagine that! A guy who doesn't know how to start a wood fire grill. I keep telling him it isn't much different than using charcoal, but he hasn't tried starting it yet. After the grill is ready he does the rest though. [I'll get him taught eventually though. LOL.]

The hamburger patties are the same jane old patties that he makes indoors. But as they are finishing on the grill, he places mushrooms on the top, lets them heat through and then places a slice of cheddar cheese on top of that. once that melts he takes them off the grill. This is delicious.

Salad

Salad is pretty simple and straight forward. Pretty much lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, and anything else you'd like to add on your salad. This is a pretty big salad, huge might even be the word. Yes, at this size it's a meal all by itself. Sometimes on a given day it's all we want. Ah, delicious, good ol' salad. [Yes, my nick name could be buggs bunny. Love rabbit food.]

Meat Loaf Stuffed Peppers/ Lasagna For Two/ Hot Dogs

Well, the weekend went well. No complaints, and no requests for anything different. The new recipes are on Wednesday and Thursday. We will really see what's up then.

The weekend's recipes are:

Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers

1 pound hamburger
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 medium onion
salt and pepper
seasoned salt
1/2 row crackers
garlic powder
1/8 cup celery
celery salt
4 bell peppers
8 ounces tomato sauce

Boil peppers for 2 minutes, cool in ice water. Saute celery and onion in butter until tender. Combine all ingredients, except peppers, mixing well. Stuff into peppers. Bake at 350* for approximately 50 minutes.

Lasagna For Two
Note: If you need the original full recipe just let me know and I will post it for you. It was just simply too much for the two of us to eat by ourselves.

7 1/2 lasagna noodle
3/4 pound Italian sausage, or ground beef
20 ounces pasta sauce
7 1/2 fluid ounces ricotta cheese
4 fluid ounces pesto sauce, optional
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Lay flat on foil to cool. In a large skillet, brown meat; drain. Stir in pasta sauce, mix well. In a 3 quart dish layer 1/3 meat sauce, 5 pasta pieces overlapping slightly, 1/2 ricotta, 1/2 pesto, and 1/2 mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. End with remaining pasta and sauce. Top with Parmesan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Servings: 2

And Hot Dogs are pretty much easy enough for everyone to enjoy.
