3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 ripe tomato, chopped
1/4 cup virgin olive oil

We have 2 grapefruit trees and always end up with gazillions of them. I like to take the sections out and discard membrane. In a glass bowl, a little sugar and refrigerate. It's so refreshing, and I think I'm getting skinnier!

Box of Dreyers Grape popsicles. Open and eat before my freezer melts them.

Berry Rhubarb Pie

Ingredients

1 cup fresh blackberries
1 cup raspberries
2 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
2 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons ice water
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons white sugar

Directions

To Make Filling: In a medium bowl, combine blackberries, raspberries, and rhubarb. In a separate bowl, mix together 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Sprinkle over fruit mixture and stir gently. Cover bowl and refrigerate overnight.

To Make Crust: In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour with salt. Cut in shortening and 2 tablespoons butter until texture is like coarse cornmeal. Place 1/3 of mixture in a separate bowl. To the smaller portion, add water and mix to form a paste. Add this mixture back to the rest of flour mixture and stir just until dough forms a ball. Allow to rest at least 20 minutes before rolling out. Divide dough in half. Roll out bottom crust and place in 9 inch pie pan.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Mix 1 tablespoon melted butter and lemon juice into fruit filling, then spoon into pastry-lined pie pan. Roll out top crust and place over filling. Crimp edges and cut steam vents in top. Brush lightly with half and half and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake an additional 40 to 50 minutes, until crust is golden brown.

season a steak with just salt and pepper and throw it on the bbq

well I do not actually have a recipe to share but I just love pretty much anything off the BBQ Grill. And I found out you can cook pretty much anything on a grill LOL

Microwaveable popcorn with a ton of Parmesan cheese sprinkled and shaken through and through

cactus cooler:

equal parts lemonade and cranberry
vodka (optional)

and - I have found any meat can be marinated in the following marinade:
soy sauce
vegetable oil (about as much as the soy sauce)
dijon mustard
honey
garlic (or garlic powder - not salt - powder)
to taste
ginger
You can pretty much add anything to it. I just taste it while I am making it and smell other spices and if it smells like it might go in there, I add it - like sometimes I add Cumin, or white pepper or dry mustard....Anyways, I use it for any kind of steak overnight and it always comes out delicious and tender.

although im
a good cook id have to say after reading all the entries paulajardines sounds the best to me, id also pick up phone and get my dinner delivered im so lazy and tired these days

I love to take steak pieces,potatoe pieces,onions,carrot and garlic pieces and put seasonings on it,mainly salt,pepper and johnnys and wrapp in tin foil and throw on the grill and keep flipping it and when its done it has all so much flavor and we called it hobo dinner and my kids loved all having their individual little tin foil dinners to put on a paper plate and eat right out of the foil.makes me hungry thinking of it.great recipes above all:)
