Here is what I made for Dinner this past Friday night: enjoy I couldn't resist another grilling menu. If it's going to be a scorcher of a day, bake the potatoes in the morning and warm up in the microwave or on the grill at the last minute.
Spicy Grilled Chops Ingredients: 4 boneless pork chops, 1/2-inch thick 1/4 cup hot salsa of your choice 2 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons orange marmalade 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt or Mrs. Dash substitute In small bowl, combine salsa, water, marmalade and seasoned salt; blend well. Place pork chops in plastic bag or glass dish. Pour marinade mixture over pork, turning to coat. Seal bag or cover dish and marinate about 1 hour, turning pork chops several times. When ready to grill, remove pork chops from marinade, reserving leftover marinade. Bring marinade just to a boil in a small saucepan and cool. Place chops on grill 4-6 inches over medium-high coals. Grill about 4 minutes per side-or until they reach desired doneness, basting with reserved marinade. Spicy Potato Wedges Ingredients: 6 large potatoes 1 egg 1/3 cup milk 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon chili powder 2 tablespoons olive oil Scrub and slice unpeeled potatoes into wedges. In a small bowl, beat egg and milk. In another bowl, combine flour and seasonings. Dip potato wedges into milk mixture; dust with flour mixture. Place in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Drizzle with oil. Bake at 450 for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and tender. Grilled Vegetable Salad Ingredients: 1 cup balsamic or herb vinegar 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 tablespoon water 2 tablespoons shallot, finely chopped 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 1 1/2 teaspoons honey or molasses 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/2 pound baby carrots 2 red or yellow bell peppers 2 zucchini squash 2 yellow squash 1 large sweet onion Combine first 8 ingredients in a large bowl; stir well and set aside. Cut vegetables into 1-inch pieces; add to vinegar mixture, tossing to coat. Let stand 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, reserving vinegar mixture. Place a grilling basket (or foil that you've folded up sides to form a square, and poked holes in the bottom) on grill rack, and cover with grill lid. Grill 15 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning occasionally. Return vegetables to reserved vinegar mixture, tossing gently. Cover and refrigerate overnight. You can substitute other vegetables, using the same quantities. Fresh Fruit Salad Ingredients: 2 crisp, tart-sweet apples, sliced, unpeeled 1 banana, sliced 1 cantaloupe, cut up into one inch cubes 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced 1 cup seedless red grapes 1 can (16 oz) pineapple chunks, drained Honey-Cream Dressing: 1/4 cup lowfat sour cream 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese, (small curd) creamed 1 cup lowfat vanilla yogurt 2 tbsp. honey 2 tsp. lime juice Combine sour cream, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Mix will. Blend in honey and lime juice. To make the salad: combine first 5 fruits with a little of the dressing; garnish with slices of kiwi. Serve remaining dressing on the side. Enjoy When we are grateful for the good we already have, we attract more good into our life. On the other hand, when we are ungrateful, we tend to shut ourselves off from the good we might otherwise experience. ~Sylvia --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
