Chef's Corner:
The last day of summer has offically passed, but since it still feels like summer outside, here are some ways to still enjoy it! (These are good to B-eatin'!)
Burger Bites
1 / 2 cup barbeque sauce (try for one on the sweeter side or add 1/4 cup brown sugar to the dish)
1 / 4 cup grape jelly
1 lb. (24) small prepared frozen meatballs (you can make your own)
1 can of pineapple chunks in juice, drained
1 large red or green pepper, cut into cubes
Mix barbecue sauce and jelly in large skillet. Cook and stir on medium heat 2 min. or until jelly melts. Add meatballs to skillet; cook 10 min. or until heated through. Skewer each meatball alternately on long wooden skewer or toothpick with pineapple chunk and red pepper. (You can get skewer/satay sticks at the dollar store!)
Sweet Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Dressing
I am the first to admit I hate these mutant little cabbages-but I love hem prepared like this — if this recipe could convert me, it could convert you!
4 lb. Brussel Sprouts (or cabbage cut into small wedges if you prefer)
1 large orange
3 Tbsp. balsamic salad dressing (President's Choice makes a good one)
3 Tbsp. maple syrup
Cook the sprouts in large pot of boiling water for 6 minutes or until tender. Drain well. (Cabbage will take less time) Meanwhile, zest the peel from 1 large orange. Heat the dressing and maple syrup in large fry pan on medium heat. Add cooked Brussels sprouts; stir-fry 3 minutes. Stir in the orange zest.
Brilliantly Bodacious Tuna Salad
1 can drained flaked tuna
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
1 / 4 c. chopped walnuts or pecans (do in quarters)
1 / 4 c. halved seedless red or green grapes
Mix the tuna with the mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Add the grapes, nuts a chill thoroughly, covered in the refrigerator. Serve with crackers (I like Wheat Thins) or in a “bowl” of lettuce eight leaves or so thick — this is most definitely not a sandwich topper!
Janet is occasionally a second year student in the hospitality department, supposedly on co-op at the moment with plans on returning in January to torture two professors by re-taking their courses once again. She does not expect any help in Front Death Part Two this time any more than she excepts the Messiah to show up and clean her cat's litter box. She can be reached at would love to eat anything that does not come through and IV bag or a blender.
