If you can't stand the heat,
make baked Alaska!

I've been preparing meals for my family
of six since I was 12 years old.  I've learned
a lot since then!  Some of these recipies
I concocted myself.  Have no fear, they've
all be throughly field-tested and have been
found to produce no prolonged adverse
side-effects!  You may even get
a compliment or two!

This first one I contrived because my lover
(at that time) was bringing his family to dinner
and his father could have no spices of any kind.
You can use low-sodium Campbell's soup
for the same results.
Prep time: 15-20 mins.
Cooking time: 55 mins. (minimum)
Cleanup time: Well, that's what husbands are for!

Columbian Chicken

This one I got from my mother,
but I usually add a pinch of onion
powder or garlic salt (or powder) or basil
or just close my eyes and grab an herb!
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
No cooking
Caution: Do not double the recipe!
it does not come out the same.  You
must make two batches if you want more.
Keep in mind that it will last only about
4 or 5 days in the fridge in a tightly
closed container.

Homemade Mayonaise

When there just isn't time to make dinner,
make reservations!

If you like ground meat, but are
bored with the usual meatloaf,
try some of these ...
