Anne's Fabulous Grilled Salmon (allrecipes.com)

(this is really easy and really yummy!)
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
1 (3 pound) salmon fillet, with skin


DIRECTIONS
Make a pan out of aluminum foil by doubling up layers of foil large enough to hold your fillet. Place the foil onto a cookie sheet. Lay the fillet onto the foil with the skin side down. In a small bowl, stir together the oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, ginger, honey, basil and shallots. Pour over the salmon and let it marinate while you preheat the grill, about 20 minutes.
Preheat a grill for medium-low heat. Slide the foil with the salmon off of the cookie sheet and onto the grill. Cover with the lid and grill the fillet for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, about 20 minutes. Salmon should be able to flake with a fork, but not be too dry. When you serve the salmon, the skin will stick to the foil and your grill will remain clean. Simply slice and use a spatula to scoop the fillet off of the skin to serve.

What to do with leftover pasta??

So I accidentally made WAY too much pasta the other night and I was tired of eating it for leftovers, but I didn't want to throw it away. Here's what I did:

Mix in with leftovers:
2 cans of tomato sauce
1 can of corn
A handful of cheese
Add anything else you want -- more meat, more veggies, more sauce
Add extra seasonings if you're good at that kind of stuff. (I'm not, so I added some pepper)

Put into a casserole dish and pile a ton of cheese on top.

Bake at 350 F for 10-20 min (Just keep checking to see how melted the cheese is. Before you eat it, check to make sure the pasta in the middle of the dish is warm --that's the spot that took me the longest to heat up.)

PS it was SO good -- way better than the original pasta dish!

Ilini Bars

(I know this is a dessert...and most everything on here is real food, but I LOVE these and they're SO good...And you'll *hopefully* love them too!!!)

1 14 ounce bag Kraft Caramels

1 5 fluid ounce can of Evaporated Milk – divided

1 German Chocolate Cake Mix w/pudding in mix

½ cup Margarine, melted

1 cup Chocolate Chips

1 ½ cup chopped walnuts, divided

Preheat oven 350°

In medium saucepan, melt caramels with 1/3 cup evaporated milk over low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside.

In large bowl, mix together remaining evaporated milk, cake mix, and melted margarine. Press ½ of cake mixture onto bottom of ungreased 9” x 13” pan. Bake 8 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips and 1 cup walnuts over crust (and coconut if you prefer!); top with caramel mixture spreading to edges of pan. Top with teaspoonsful of remaining cake mixture; press gently into caramel mixture. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts.

Bake 16-18 minutes. Cool.

After thoroughly cooled, cut into bars.

BBQ Chicken Pizza

SO PERFECT ERIN! I didn't know that, I'll have to go look for it and let you guys know where I find it.

I've decided that I'm going to make BBQ pizza tonight! Actually, we might make a couple and freeze the ones we don't bake.

I got the idea from fabulesslyfrugal.com.

1 Pizza Crust (Buy one or make your own)

2 C. Mozzarella Cheese

1/2 Red onion2 Chicken Breasts

2-3 C BBQ Sauce (I got like 8 bottles under .50 cents or free from Alberstons a few weeks back!)

Cilantro

Optional: Pineapple or bacon bits

I'm guessing on the temp and cook time, but I'd think to cook it for about 400-450 F for 15-20 min. I'm hoping the store bought pizza crust will tell me :-) If we actually get around to baking the pizza, I'll take be sure to report the deliciousness (and pics)!

Pizza

This is more a recipe idea than an actual recipe...

At Walmart/Target (anywhere I'm sure) you can get $.50 "just-add-water" pizza dough. Get some mozzarella cheeze, some tomato sauce, and some topping and you're good to go. Very easy and very tasty!

For an even easier meal, cut up your topping when you have time prior to the meal. Then when it's making time, making your pizza(s) is super fast.
