We had grilled ribs for dinner last night and they were really good! We had left over potatoes from the other night and some green beans with ham. For dessert we had ice cream cake that you can buy at Albertsons. If you have never had it, are missing out! It’s really good! Grilled Ribs: Put Mo’s SmokeHouse BBQ Sauce/ Pappy’s Seasoning/Garlic Salt & Pepper on the ribs. We get the sauce at a meat market, never have seen it at other grocery stores. You can order it here if you want or google it: This sauce is my favorite! https://mosbbq.com/

Grilled some sirloin steaks and made potatoes and a broccoli cauliflower dish. This marinade is really good, if you have never tried it. Marinated Steak: Put steak in a large glass baking dish. Poke holes into the steak with a big fork or knife and pour Pappy’s Citrus Heat Marinade Sauce over it; poke holes again and sprinkle Garlic Salt and Pepper on both sides of the steak. Leave the steak in the glass baking dish on the counter. DON’T refrigerate! You want the steak to come to room temperature! Grill to desired doneness. Hidden Valley Potatoes: Never wash an iron-cast skillet in soap or the food you prepare in it will taste like soap! Just wash in hot water and I wipe it dry using a paper towel. I usually use baby red potatoes, but, the store didn’t have them, so I used a bag of potatoes that weren’t so large. Original Ranch Roasted Potatoes: ***Use An Iron-Cast Skillet Only! ***Can Prepare This Ahead Of Time & Bake When Needed Ingredients: 2 lbs. Small Red Potatoes, Quartered 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil 1 Packet Hidden Valley Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Put quartered potatoes in a large bowl; add 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil, 1 Package Hidden Valley Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix and some garlic salt and McCormicks Ground Black Pepper; stir. Put 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil in a cast-iron skillet & PLACE SKILLET IN THE OVEN while the oven is pre-heating. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE YOU WANT THE SKILLET HOT BEFORE YOU PUT THE POTATOES IN! When the oven has reached 450 degrees, put the potatoes in the skillet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are brown and crisp.

Baked Potato Slices With Bacon, Onions & Cheese: Three to four russet potato’s cut in slices; brush with some butter, season with garlic salt or salt and pepper. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes; add shredded cheese, green onions and fried bacon on top. Bake another 5 minutes. Dip potatoes in sour cream or Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing.

Cream Cheese Dessert: ***This is quick and easy to make! 2 Cans Crescent Rolls 2 Packages Cream Cheese, Softened 1-1/2 Cups Sugar 1 Stick Butter, Melted 1 Tsp. Cinnamon-(More Or Less To Your Liking) ***Use As Much Or As Little As You Want! Grease 9x9-in. pan and flatten out one can of crescent rolls; pinch seams together. Mix cream cheese with one cup of sugar and spread on crescent rolls. Top with second can of crescent rolls, pinch seams together and pour on butter. Mix the remaining sugar with cinnamon and sprinkle on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes. Bonus: Slice fresh pineapple, sprinkle both sides with nutmeg and grill. Chop and drain really well, mix in with the cream cheese.

Shave chocolate onto top layer for garnish. Refrigerate 8 hours before serving.

I saw this method to make eggs and decided to try it and now it’s my favorite way to make them instead of frying them. I made this for dinner last night. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Use a muffin pan. Spray a muffin cup with non-stick spray inside each cup for each egg you are having. I have used butter before and that works too, but, I prefer the non-stick spray. Put egg in muffin cup. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven until desired doneness. I bake my eggs for 6-1/2 minutes. I like my eggs a little soft. Take a fork and move it around the egg to release it onto your plate. Season with salt and pepper. These are my favorite brand of hashbrowns. I put diced onions in when I fry the hashbrowns; season with salt or garlic salt and pepper.

Mississippi Mud Pie: Ingredients: 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour 1 Cup Chopped Pecans 1/2 Cup Butter,,Softened 1-(5.9-oz.)-Pkg. Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix 1-(8-oz.)- Pkg.

In a bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread cream cheese mixture over cooled crust. Spread pudding over cream cheese layer; top with remaining whipped topping. If desired, top with additional pecans and chocolate curls.

One of my favorites! Zucchini Cakes: Fresh Zucchini, Cheese and spices blended together and fried until golden. This makes 8 zucchini cakes. 1 Large Zucchini Grated, Excess Water Removed ***To remove excess water after you grate the zucchini, put the grated zucchini into paper towels and squeeze to release the water. 1/2 Cup Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese 1 Cup Panko Bread Crumbs Sprinkle Of Ground Nutmeg-(About 1/8 Tsp.) ***Don’t Use Too Much Nutmeg Or It Can Quickly Take Over The Taste, Less Is More! 1/4 Tsp, Paprika 1 Clove Garlic, Minced 1 Egg 1-2 T. Olive Oil Combine all ingredients, except Olive Oil, in a bowl and mix throughly, Using a heaping tablespoon, firm the mixture into 8 patties. Heat Olive Oil in a pan over medium heat. Once heated, add patties and cook until golden brown; about 3-4 minutes per side. Serve with Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing.

Cheesy Cauliflower Patties: 1 Head Cauliflower 2 Large Eggs 1/2 Cup Cheddar Cheese, Grated 1/2 Cup Panko 1/2 Tsp. Cayenne-(More Or Less, To Taste) Salt Olive Oil Cook cauliflower in boiling water, until tender; about 10 minutes; drain. Mash the cauliflower while still warm. Stir cheese, eggs, Panko, cayenne and salt, to taste. Coat the bottom of a skillet or griddle with Olive Oil over medium-high heat. Form the cauliflower mixture into patties about 3-in. across. Cook until golden brown and set, about 3 minutes per side. Keep each batch warm while you cook the rest.

We had this last night for dinner and it was good. I made it early in the morning and cooked it on low for several hours. Pasta Meat Sauce: You can make this is the crockpot, but, we prefer it cooked in the Dutch Oven. Fry 1-1/2 lbs. hamburger and 1 pkg. Jimmy Dean hot sausage in skillet; drain grease. Put meat mixture in Dutch Oven. Add diced white onions, diced green peppers, diced garlic-(all to taste)-and 1 carton sliced fresh mushrooms; stir. Add 4-(24-oz.)-jars Prego Three Cheese Pasta Sauce; sprinkle garlic salt and pepper, to taste; stir. Cook on low heat for several hours, stirring occasionally. A few minutes before serving, take a bite to make sure it’s as hot as you want it to be-(if it isn’t, turn the heat up.) My sauce was hot because I cooked it for a long time..but, everyone’s stove is different and it all depends what time you eat. Served it over cooked egg noodles. My preferred pasta is Fettuccini, but I was out of it so I used egg noodles/(Use Your Favorite Pasta). Sprinkle some Kraft Grated Parmesan Romano Cheese or Fairy Dust over the sauce; then top with some Lucerne Parmesan Romano Cheese; sprinkle more Kraft Grated Parmesan Romano Cheese Or Fairy Dust on top; do it the way you want. In my opinion, there can never be too much cheese! Fairy Dust: Depending on the size of the shaker container you are using, you may have to adjust the amounts. I save my empty spice containers to make Fairy Dust and other spices. Fairy Dust: 1/2 Cup Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese-(In Shaker) 4 iT. Garlic Powder 2 T. Oregano Leaves 1 T. Onion Salt Put all of the ingredients in a bowl; stir. Put an aluminum pie pan on counter; put bowl in pan. ***This is to keep your counter clean when putting the Fairy Dust in the shaker spice container. Using an empty spice container-(use a container that when you lift up the lid, there is a top with holes in it)-put the spice container in the aluminum pan. Spoon the Fairy Dust that’s in the bowl into the shaker spice container.

Laughing I think so too!

I reheated for lunch today some of the spinach artichoke dip and chicken wings that I made for the Super Bowl, but, added some more Lucerne Parmesan Romano Cheese Blend on top and reheated it in the oven. When I took it out, I sprinkled some more Kraft Parmesan Romano Cheese-(from a Shaker)-on top. It was better adding more cheese on top so I will make it that way from now on. I make Fairy Dust and that would be great on it too. The chicken was even better, it was hotter! Spinach Artichoke Dip: 1-lb. Bag Sunny Select Frozen Chopped Spinach, Thawed 1-(14-oz.)-Can Sunny Select Quartered Artichoke Hearts 1/2 Cup Lucerne Shredded Parmesan Romano Cheese Blend 1/4 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese 1-(15-oz.)-Jar Signature Four Cheese Alfredo Pasta Sauce 1 Full Bulb Garlic, Chopped Fine 1-(8-oz.)-Box Softened Cream Garlic Salt, To Taste McCormick Ground Black Pepper, To Taste Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ingredients thoroughly and spread into an 8x8-in. baking dish. Cover the top with MORE Lucerne Parmesan Romano Cheese Blend. Bake for 45 minutes or until hot and cheeses are bubbling and melted. I sprinkled some Kraft Parmesan Romano Cheese on top of mine. You could use Fairy Dust too. Fairy Dust is great to put in sauces and garlic bread/cheese bread. When I was a manager at Pizza Hut a long time ago, that is what they use on the bread. Fairy Dust: ***I save empty shakers to make seasonings and I put a label on it with the name of the seasoning I made to put in it. 1/2 Cup Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese-(In Shaker) 4 T. Garlic Powder 2 T. Oregano Leaves 1 T. Onion Salt Put all of the ingredients in a bowl; stir. Put an aluminum pie pan in counter; put bowl in pan. ***This is to keep your counter clean when putting the Fairy Dust in the shaker spice container. Using an empty spice container-(use a container that when you lift up the lid, there is a top with holes in it)-put the spice container in the aluminum pan. Spoon the Fairy Dust that’s in the bowl into the shaker spice container.

In my opinion, Eddie was one of the best...if not “the best” guitar player ever!
