Wow what an Idea, I will probably be back to contribute again but for now
Stuffed Breasts (Chicken)
In a broiling pan place each breast (butterfly cut) on the pan with lemon pepper, a dash of salt, rosemary, and a couple (2) thin slices of Lemon (leave the rine on) inside the butterfly cut. bake at 350 until chicken is nearly done. I cook it for 25-30 minutes, maybe overdoing it, but no raw chicken for me thanks. Pull out of oven, remove lemon slices(don't throw away), Stick a wedge of Baby swiss inside the breast, and if you choose, a splash of marinara sauce, also squeeze one lemon slice inside the breast. Place another slice of Swiss on top and place back in oven for 5-10 minutes, to melt cheese and warm marinara. Finally I like to cut a single cut from the center of one lemon slice to the edge, and place the lemon twist and a sprig of rosemary on top. If you use marinara the wine can be tough to match with it, but a dry white seems to go well either way.

Another house favorite is Buffalo wing sauce. It is kept like others keep ketchup for everything form wings to tatertots to anything that needs spicing up.
Sautee a generous clove of garlic 2 1/2 ounces butter for 3 minutes
add flour, about 2 tablespoons, to make a roux.
add 1 1/4 pints hot sauce( I use one that comes in a large jug calle texas petes)
Add a small dash of vinegar

Bad For You Green Beans~
1/4 lb. diced bacon ( amount can be varried based on how soon you want your first heart attack!)
1/2 onion diced
bag of frozen green beans cooked or 2 cans drained ( the cans are the easiest)
1/3 cup vinegar
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon black pepper
In a dutch oven (big ass pot) cook bacon, when it is nearly done add onions and saute just til the sweat and become transluscent. Add vinegar, sugar and pepper to the onions and bacon. Add green beans and heat til warm. Yummy stuff!!! Recipe can be doubled, tripled, even more. I made it for 100 last night!

Tourtière
½ lb. ground veal (we make it with ground beef)
½ lb. ground pork
1/3 cup chopped onions
¼ cup water
uncooked pastry for one pie
1 tsp. thyme
1 tsp. ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
¼ tsp pepper
1 tsp. cinnamon
Prepare pastry while filling is cooking in saucepan. Cook over medium heat until meat has lost its pink colour but is still moist; cool. Pour meat mixture into pie shell; cover with top crust, seal and flute edges. Bake at 375°F for about 35 minutes. Baked toutières may be frozen and reheated before serving.
Makes 8 - 10 servings.

Barbecue sauce for tourtière (also really good on pretty much anything)
1½ cup vinegar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups vegetable oil
2 10 oz. cans tomato soup
2 tbsps. prepared mustard
1 tbsp. salt
½ tbsp. pepper
2 tbsps. HP sauce
8 cloves garlic, finely chopped or crushed
Combine all ingredients in large bowl and beat 5 minutes.
Very economical sauce. Use on steaks or any other meats for barbecue. Using less salt, pepper, HP sauce and garlic, this sauce can be used on salads (better known as French Dressing.)
With experimentation, you will find that this sauce can be used almost anywhere. It can also be stored in the fridge almost indefinitely in an airtight container.
