Answer 1

Stuffed Mushrooms appetizer

10 large button mushrooms
1 small Onion finely chopped
1 table spoon chopped parsley
1/4 cup grated cheese
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tbsp butter/ olive oil
salt to taste

Boil mushroom in water for 4 minutes to soften them a bit and makes it easier to remove the stalks to form a scoop.

Chop the stalks finely. Heat the oil/ butter and fry the onions till golden brown. Add the chopped stalks and fry for 2 minutes. Then add thr parsley, pepper and salt and let it cool down before adding the grated cheese.

Now stuff back the mixture into the mushroom scoops with face up and grill in over for 10 minutes at 325 deg and serve hot.

To start off, I like to do bacon wrapped shrimp on the grill. Peel & devein shrimp leaving tail on. Wrap with bacon & thread onto kabob skewer ( about 4 or 5 shrimp on each ) Grill over medium coals about 3-5 minutes each side til done. Serve with garlic butter & toasted bread wedges for an awesome appetizer. For a main dish, nothing better than grilled Ribeyes served with grilled silver queen corn & fresh tossed salad......Yummy!!

These are two of my holiday favorites...one is a dessert though, but I included it because of its simplicity. The other is my favorite appetizer..please enjoy!!


Cherry-pineapple dessert

I love this one because it is so simple yet so delicious; easy prep too!

1 20oz can crushed pineapple
1 21oz can cherry pie filling
1 package yellow cake mix
1 3oz can pecans (1 cup), chopped
1-2 sticks of butter, very chilled

Preheat oven to 350. Grease 13x9 pan. Spread pineapple in pan. Spoon pie filling over pineapple. Sprinkle cake mix over filling, then sprinkle chopped pecans over mix. Slice chilled butter into thin strips, covering the entire mix. Bake 50 min uncovered.

Use a spoon or scoop to serve. Make sure you cover the entire mix with butter before baking to ensure even coverage. Enjoy!



Chipped Beef Dip

1 jar dried chipped beef
8oz sour cream
8oz cream cheese
1/3 cup diced onions (I prefer red or green for color)

Mix together and heat in microwave or stovetop. Serve hot. Great with Club crackers, or crackers of your choice
