Recipe(tried): Simple snappy salsa
(originally posted By: Char R - CA August 22nd 1998 in the Canning and Preserving - Recipe Center )

I almost hate to post this because it's so simple! I make it as needed but don't see any reason it
wouldn't can or freeze also, though it would lose that wonderful fresh unprocessed taste.

Basic recipe which we will devour fresh at one sitting:

2 ripe garden fresh medium tomatoes (I use the whole thing, peels and seeds included)
1 medium white onion
jalapeno chiles - 2 or more depending on your taste for fire (remove veins and seeds if you like less bite)
1/4 cup chopped parsley or cilantro
3 tablespoons FRESH lime juice, or more to taste if you like
1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste

Just dice the tomatoes, onion and chiles into a bowl, stir in the parsley, lime juice and salt - taste and add more lime juice and/or salt. That's it. Dig in with tortilla chips and make it your salad course. I also love it on cottage cheese - sort of a cottage cheese and tomato salad with a kick)

Recipe(tried): Quick and Simple Rib-Eye Dinner
(Originally Posted By: Gina, Fla, July 12th 1999 on TKL's What's For Dinner? Board)

Simple Dinner in One Hour

Rib-Eye Steak on the Grill
Baked Sweet Potato with Brown Sugar, Butter and Cinnamon
Fresh Green Beans Southern StyleTonight I did not get home till 6PM and had to think of something to cook by 7PM as I was famished! I
popped two sweet potatoes in the oven after buttering them up and putting foil on them, 350 for 1 hour. I
took them out and put butter, cinnamon and brown sugar on them .

I marinated rib-eye steaks in garlic powder, onion, powder and slathered garlic butter on them so that I
could grill them the last 15 minutes. Meanwhile, I washed and snapped the end off fresh green beans,
put 2 strips of bacon in a pot with a splash of olive oil and 1/2 cup up onion and 1 minced garlic, sauteed
that, threw the beans in with 1 cup water and put on med-low till tender.

We ate the most delicious dinner in an hour! No dessert tonight, too many lately!! This was better than
Roadhouse Grill the other night!! Yum Yum!!!

Recipe(tried): Simple Roast Chicken Dinner

(Originally posted on TKL By Anne, January 2nd 2000, on the Cooking For One or Two - Recipe Club)

I make this all the time. It is easy and very good. Nice leftovers.

Preheat you oven to 350-degrees. Take a whole chicken, about 3-1/2 pounds, rinse with water and pat
with a paper towel. Sprinkle salt and pepper in the cavity. Cut a lemon in half and place in the cavity.
Place in a pan and set in the oven to roast for 1-1/2 hours.

Cut up several potatoes into chunks about one inch across. Place in a pan. Drizzle with about 1
Tablespoon oil (olive oil is best). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 3 cloves of coarsely chopped garlic if
you like. Place in oven and roast along with the chicken, stirring from time to time. Cook 1 to 1-1/2
hours.

Take 2 handfuls of fresh green beans and cut into pieces about 1-1/2 inch long. Boil water in a medium
sized pot, and add the green beans. Simmer for about 7 minutes. Drain and set aside.

When chicken is done, let sit for about 5 minutes while you finish the green beans. Melt 1 Tablespoon of
butter in a saucepan, add the beans and stir until heated. Add juice of 1/2 a lemon. Serve.
