It is so easy and so good. I buy one large container of blueberries from Costco and all of it goes into my pie crust.</p>

<p>Since this is College Confidential, here is the recipe I taught my son for super easy CHICKEN PARMESAN. He makes this in his dorm kitchen.</p>
<p>Need: A baking sheet with sides (can use a metal or pyrex “cake” pan)</p>
<p>Ingredients:
Pam, or vegetable oil
Frozen, Breaded Chicken Tenders or Breast (I use Tyson Chicken Strips)
Jar of favorite spaghetti sauce
8 oz. shredded Mozarella
Parmesan Cheese </p>
<p>Coat the pan with Pam, or rub with veggie oil to prevent sticking.
Place chicken on the pan. Top with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella, or mozzarella then sauce (according to your preference).
Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese.</p>
<p>Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes (according to package instructions)</p>
<p>You all are making me hungry. Its 5:32 pm. no idea what to make!!! Time to get busy.</p>
<p>Easy “cream” of soup</p>
<p>2 quarts chicken or veggie broth
fresh garlic to taste
large onion chopped
2 large bunches of cauliflower or broc, lots of spinach, large bag mushrooms or whatever you like washed and chopped roughly
2 bay leaves
salt, pepper
red pepper flakes to taste
1 1/2 cups cream, milk or nothing</p>
<p>Bown onion and garlic, add broth, season with salt and pepper, add bay leaf and veggies. Bring to boil then simmer till veggies are tender, about 30 minutes. Blend with hand blender or in batches in blender or processor. Add cream if you wish and simmer until thickened.</p>
<p>This recipe comes with WARNINGS!</p>
<p>WARNING-planks can catch on fire, so you need to follow all directions carefully in preparing it, and never leave it unattended. There are all kinds of warnings of what to do and not to do on the cedar plank package, so follow them carefully!</p>
<p>I tried this recipe from the back of a cedar plank package that I bought to make salmon. The recipe I have is from Fire and Flavor Grilling Company (on the back of their package):</p>
<p>1/2 c Dijon mustard
2tsp honey
2tsp fresh dill (could use 1 tsp dried)-I used fresh
1tsp yellow mustard seeds
1twp kosher salt
1.5lbs. of salmon (I used 1.3lbs)
1 15" “Fire & Flavor” grilling plank, soaked-this is a cedar plank</p>
<p>Combine Dijon through salt in a small bowl. Spread on salmon, reserve 3 teaspoons for sauce (we did not). Heat grill to 350. Put plank on grill for 3 minutes and flip over and put salmon on the plank. Close lid and cook until done (they say 12 minutes, but it seemed to take much longer. We used indirect heat method of grilling). Remember that salmon will continue to cook once removed from the grill. Mix remaining mustard mixture with sour cream or melted butter and spoon over fish (we did not do this part, and the fish was excellent). </p>
<p>We soaked our board with water mixed with pinapple juice for over an hour, and we put orange slices on top of our fish prior to cooking which gave it great flavor. The fish was very moist and flavorful. You must soak the plank for an hour in water anyway to prevent burning. Oh, we used a gas grill with indirect heat.</p>
<p>Just editing to let you know that “fire and flavor” seem to have a website with more discussion on grilling, safety and recipes.</p>
<p>Here’s an incredibly easy recipe that is delicious. I NEVER eat crab cakes in a restaurant because they don’t come close to being as good as my own recipe. (Although I’m a Texan transplant, I’m a 3rd generation Baltimorean, so these are authentic.)</p>
<p>1 lb lump crab meat (picked through to remove shells)
1 egg, beaten
2 heaping tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
salt, pepper
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning (essential ingredient - available online or in most specialty stores)
1/2 teaspoons baking powder</p>
<p>Add all above ingredients except for crab meat and beat with a fork. Add 2 tablespoons bread crumbs and mix. Fold in crab meat gently. </p>
<p>In a frying pan heat a little olive oil and drop large spoonfuls of crab mixture to shape crab cakes. Saute until brown on one side and do same on other side. (Alternatively you can shape into cakes and broil in oven on a cookie sheet.)</p>
<p>Makes about 6 crab cakes.</p>
<p>Tip: to clean crab meat have a small bowl of warm water nearby and gently feel the crab pieces to remove any hard shell or cartilege by placing in bowl of water. Transfer picked-through crab meat into a separate bowl for later use.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
<p>Great recipe! I would love some more fish recipes. I seem only to grill or broil with lemon and capers. And I live on the coast!</p>
<p>Also any summer fresh veggie, light recipes and things to grill. Any other farmer’s market, no frozen or canned food fanatics?</p>
<p>Wild Salmon and basil sauce(Easy recipe)</p>
<p>Basil sauce(using a blender)
1)Basil
2)Salt/Pepper
3)Lime juice
4)Olive Oil
5)Garlic</p>
<p>Pan fry salmon both sides until the skin is crunchy.
Pour basil sauce over Salmon.</p>
<p>PS: I always have an herbs garden.</p>
<p>Today we had bluefish on the grill. We marinated it for about half an hour in ponzu sauce. (A Japanese mixture of soy sauce and citrus.) Greased a hot grill. Cooked it for about 10 minutes skin side down. Doesn’t get much simpler than that!</p>
<p>Saw this on Delia Smith’s program–</p>
<p>Par boil parsnips or any root veggie. Then brush and coat with whole grain mustard. Then, spoon teaspoons of real maple syrup over the top. Bake until soft–about 15 minutes.</p>
<p>Yum!</p>
<p>That’s how all good easy-cleanup recipes start!</p>
<p>Date Tapas (fabulous!)</p>
<p>pitted dates
sliced bacon
round wooden toothpicks, one for each date</p>
<p>Put the picks in a cup and pour boiling water over them; soak for 5-10 minutes (to keep them from burning in the oven)</p>
<p>Crumple the foil up a bit first and then spread it on the baking sheet; the wrinkles will serve as a baking rack.</p>
<p>Cut bacon slices into thirds or so; you want each piece to wrap around a date. I usually kick start the bacon on a paper towel-covered plate in the microwave for a minute or two–that eliminates some of the fat and helps the finished product to have bacon that is done and dates that are not burned.</p>
<p>Then wrap a piece of bacon around each date and secure with a wooden pick. Place on foil and bake at 375 or so until the bacon is done. Serve warm or at room temperature. If you are so inclined, cut pecan halves in half again lengthwise and stick a piece inside the pit-hole of the dates before wrapping.</p>
<p>How about some recipes for us folks whose family will only eat chicken and will not eat mushrooms or barely tolerate an onion.</p>
<p>Well, this chicken recipe does have some onions. </p>
<p>Brown 1 chicken cut into pieces
Chop one onion coarsely, add to chicken.
Add pitted green olives
Add one lemon cut into quarters.
Add chicken broth or water to barely cover the chicken.
Salt and pepper to taste
Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes.</p>
<p>Another chicken recipe for those who like cumin:
Brown 1 hicken breast, cut into serving pieces.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin.
When the chicken is nearly done, add sour cream, making sure it does not boil…</p>
<p>You can also make chicken teriyaki, using prepared teriyaki marinade and whatever vegetables you have.</p>
<p>Thanks Marite- The first recipe sounds great. I might get a few of them to try it.
Our current menu which I could use a break from. Lemon chicken, chicken parmesan, BBQ chicken breast, Teriyaki chicken, stir fry, chicken bbq and cut up and put in flour tortillas, chicken tacos, enchiladas.
Also forgot to mention they only like breasts and preferably boneless. They actually all love roasted chicken but they only eat the breasts so I get stuck with the legs.</p>
<p>Marites first recipe seems to be a takeoff on Moroccan chicken tagine, so you can add cumin and/or coriander and saffron to it as well.</p>
