Hey Justa,

Meatless eh??? Hmmm. I'm a carnivor by nature, and consider everything else as mearely accessories to decorate the meat.

Are you totally meat free? chicken? pork? fish? seafood?

Dairy?

I'll try to think of some of my 'meatier' meat-free side dishes, but knowing your restrictions will help. I had an old girlfriend, and now my nephew has one... a person whom I like to call a 'pickatarian' not against anything in particular for health or tenet, just fussy! lol. I usually get the niece( in law ) to call me when they're coming over and give me a hint about what she would, or might eat that night, and I can go from there.

ie.

The last time they were over, She said that she "might be in the mood for some chicken, but nothing that has touched a bone"


I picked up a 6 lb roasting hen, skinned it, then breasted it with a filleting knife, to leave a layer on the bone. Then I sliced each breast into a long continuous roll about an 1/8" thick and about 5 inches wide. Then I cut them into 5" dia circles. I put a medium sized mushroom in the center (without the stem), and put a dash of thick teryaki sauce in the cap, and a chunk of swiss cheese and dill. I pulled the edges of the chicken up around the cap and tied it above the mushroom with a pc of butcher twine, the top edges bunched up and hung down. dusted the out side with garlic powder and threw them on the bbq.

She ate 1/2 of one, went to the fridge grabbed a bag of raw baby carrots, and ate the whole bag. Everyone else enjoyed my little creations, as the moisture from the mushroom really kept the chicken moist, yet crisped on the outside from the que.

No pics though, sorry

Bacon Log


1-2 packages of bacon (depends on how big you want your log to be! One pictured above is 1 package, Ive made as big as 5!
1 lb maple flavored sausage
1/2 lb Shredded Cheese or two sticks of String Cheese

Basketweave bacon on a flat surface, cutting board usually works good for this. Once log "mat" is achieved, lay down a thin layer of sausage. Proceed to lay down a thin layer of cheese over top of sausage or lay down string cheese at one end of bacon log. (Refer to Pic #2 if you are unsure what I mean here.) Roll tightly from one end. Start where the String Cheese is preferably. Toothpick closed. Wrap In Foil and Grill/Bake as normal for sausage. Once Sausage is done, you can open foil and cook outside to preference of Bacon style. (Crispy, Burnt, Chewy, ect ect). The reason for foil, is there will be juices from sausage and from the cheese, the tighter your wrap, the juicier it will be. I like to drain off the grease at the end and let it crisp all the way around before I take it out. Experiment with what you like and most of all, ENJOY!
