Extreemly good cheese doesn't need meat. There is nothing better then a fresh mozzerrlia/dried tomato sandwich on fresh foccatia bread.

Awesome Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms:

Ingredients:
1 tub "Cajun Crab Dip" from your local supermarket
1 container mushrooms
1 bag Parmesan Cheese
Paprika

Instructions:
1.) Pull the stems out of the bottom of the mushrooms, leaving the "cap" of the mushroom as a little bowl
2.) Fill mushroom caps with Cajun Crab Dip (heap it on there)
3.) Sprinkle cheese and a bit of paprika on top
4.) Bake at 350 on cookie sheet until the cheese is melted and browning

I can't describe to you how good these are, and indistinguishable from "real" crab stuffed mushrooms. They'll think you slaved making the filling, when its just dip from the store. The cheese and paprika really make it look gourmet.

Highly recommended to impress a girl or group as an appetizer.

Guess what i'm making for lunch tomorrow I've *NEVER* had crab dip even though I adore shellfish, any particular brand I should be looking for?

my moms version:

boil the chicken, pull apart into bite size pieces, mix it all together, then top it with some stove top stuffing. serve with mashed potatoes.

edit: bake it just the same.

Tonight I am going to make the Hawaiian speciality called
Loco Moco:

1. Fry some SPAM
2. Boil some rice
3. Put rice in bottom of small (1 portion bowl)
4. Put SPAM on top
5. Top off with a fried egg, sunny side up.

I think there is supposed to be gravy with it too.
Pretty good and cheap too. Try it next time you visit Hawaii.

Can lavagirl confirm this plz?

Blasphemy! You forgot the garlic! Needs at *least* 3-4 cloves.

My mother-in-law makes something she calls "pepper bellies" (WTF that means, I don't know) that consists of Fritos corn chips dumped on a plate with heated canned chili spooned on top. If it's a really fancy meal, it has some shredded cheddar cheese on top. *shudder* The sodium content alone makes me queasy.

 

[Adn4n]

Ramen + hot water!

PEELED FINGERNAILS!
