Answer 1

BAKED HAM

1 spiral cut ham
1 can gingerale (Vernors is the best)
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 T mustard

Mix the gingerale, brown sugar and mustard in a saucepan and heat until the sugar dissolves.

Put the ham in a large baking pan, cookie sheet or roasting pan. Pour 1/2 cup of water in the bottom of the pan. Pour the glaze over the top. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 1-2 hours, basting occasionally. It's delicious hot or cold.


CLASSIC MEATLOAF

1 cup of finely chopped onion
1 celery rib, chopped fine
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1 carrot, chopped fine
1/2 cup of finely chopped scallion (can substitute onion)
2 Tbsp unsalted butter

1 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tsp Worscestershire sauce
2/3 cup ketchup
1 1/2 pounds of ground chuck
3/4 pound of spicy ground pork sausage (or use Italian sausage - 1 sweet, 1 hot)

1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large heavy skillet cook the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and scallion in butter, over moderate heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Cover and stir occassionally until the carrots are tender, about 5 more minutes. Stir in salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 a cup of ketchup. Cook for 1 more minute.

In a large bowl, combine the meats, eggs, bread crumbs, vegetables, and parsley. Form into a loaf and put into a retangular baking pan with 2 inch high sides. Cover loaf with remaining ketchup.

Bake meat loaf in oven for 1 hour. Let sit 5 mins before slicing.

Get some boneless pork or chicken it is up to you. Place the meat you choose in a large skillet and cook in a nice white wine you like. once the meat is fully cooked add the pineapple meat and cook until warm. then take the pineapple that you cut the top off and pour the meat that is in the skillet back into the pineapple. Make sure you have cut the bottom of the pineapple off to where it will sit level on a plate. place the top back on the pineapple and serve. It is a simple recipe yet taste great and looks fancy.

Answer 3

is there anything in particular you want to try to make?? email if so... other wise, here are some good things to try

Stir Fry:
Ingredients:
1 pound meat (chicken cubes, beef tips or shrimp- or a combo of all!)
1-2 bell peppers- diced
1 lg onion- diced
2 carrots, sliced in rings
your favorite stir fry sauce (i like House of Tsang!)
oil for cooking
rice

In a large pan or wok, add enough oil for cooking, and start to sautee up onion, peppers and carrots for a few minutes. When onions get a little wilty, add in the raw meat and cook until meat is done. (Chicken should be white inside, beef... you can pretty much cook to your liking, and shrimp will turn pink when done) Add in about 1/2 cup of stir fry sauce and a small amount of water (I use about 1/4 cup or less) stir and let cook for about 5 minutes or until veggies are tender.

Meatloaf:
1.5 pounds lean ground beef
one packet onion soup mix
one egg
worchestersire sauce- about 3 tablespoon
soy sauce or dales sauce- one teaspoon
garlic powder- one tablespoon
ketchup- 1/3 cup
breadcrumbs- amount will vary

Mix all ingredients EXCEPT BREADCRUMBS together in a large bowl with your hands. Add about 1/3 cup bread crumbs and mix in. Keep adding more and more (if needed) until the mixture is able to hold it's shape.

Put mixture in an oven proof baking dish and form into a loaf. Poke 3-4 holes on top and squirt more ketchup on top (just enough to make it look pretty). Bake at 350 for about 30-45 minutes or until inside is no longer pink!

Hope these help! Email if you need more!!

Go to foodnetwork.com They have a lot of easy recipes. The best easy recipes are one you don't have to use the stove or oven. Here's a good sandwich to make. Get a loaf of focaccio bread (round). Cut in half length wise. Drizzle a quarter cup of olive oil on each half. add thinly sliced onions, gardinierre,sliced salami, thin sliced ham, cucumber slices, finely chopped olives (personally I don't like olives), mozzarella or provolone cheese sliced. Put halves back together, wrap in saran wrap, then aluminum foil, put on a large plate, and put a heavy weight on top of it. Let it refrigerate 8 to 12 hours. Take out of 'frig, let the sandwich come to room temperature, then cut into triangular slices and serve.

Roast chicken (whole or pieces).
Take whole or cut up chicken and put in freezer bag, close the bag. add 1 cup of italian dressing, shake well to coat all the chicken. leave in refrigerator overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put chicken in a roasting dish and put in oven. After 15 minutes or chicken is browned turned over and after another 15 minutes lower heat to 350 and completely cover chicken with foil. Cook for another 60 minutes. Add some cut up vegetables like carrots, broccolli, zuchinni. Cut into b ite size pieces and put in with chicken ad let cook another 30 minutes. Totally cooking time about 2 hours. When you take the chicken out of the oven let it sit for about 15 to 20 minutes or when you cut it will dry out.
