Today we had grilled (in the oven) Atlantic Salmon, with boiled Yukon Gold potatoes. Having some fresh blueberries for dessert.
 
Beer Can Chicken..see pics: Digging around in the cupboard I found a rack designed for beer can chicken. I decided it was time to try this thingy out. You season your chicken however you like it and plop it down over a 1/2 can of beer...I read a review on a recipe, and she said to put a potato in the neck opening to keep the steam in. When the chicky came out of the oven it looked like it had a head on it..

I couldn't resist, so some peppercorns for eyes, roasted red pepper for lips and cheese sauce (made for the broccoli) for blond hair...it was kind of hard to eat her after she was looking at us..LoL

By the way,the chicken was excellent,very moist and tender. I usually cook a whole chicken at 424* for 30-40 minutes to crisp the skin, then turn it down to 325* to finish. Added whole red potatoes, mushrooms and a bell pepper from the garden to it. Served it with broccoli and cheese sauce..mmmm

Here's another good chicken recipe

Here is a chicken recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a
stuffing - imagine that!

When I found this recipe, I thought it was perfect for people like me,
who are just not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but
not dried out. Give this a try.

1 2KG chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing
1 cup of uncooked popcorn
Salt & pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 220c.

Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt and pepper.

Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.

Place in baking pan with the neck end towards the back of the oven.

Listen for the popping sounds.

when the chicken's arse blows the oven door open and the chicken flies :lofl::lofl: Smokin
across the room, it is done.
 
Several days ago we made a turkey, we buy them when they're on sale around the holidays, and then freeze them until we're in the mood to make them. So, we had a couple of meals of hot turkey, with gravy and wild rice medley. Then we had a couple of meals of turkey salad sandwiches on oatnut bread. Tonight its organic whole wheat spaghetti with red sauce.
 
Metamucil and whole wheat toast....

Jillaroo...Glad to hear your feeling better !

SeaBreeze..I do the turkey thing also. I have one waiting in the freezer to be cooked when I feel better. I could live on turkey sammiches, and dressing is better than the turkey

I like the sammies too! We don't do stuffing at all anymore, just the wild rice on the side.
 
Had a cheese omelet with chives and parsley on biscuits.
