Made it last night, since I had the ingredients on hand. Pretty good!

Went well with some plain white rice.

Meatloaf

Two pounds of ground beef, pork, and/or veal
1 egg
1/2 cup tomato sauce or ketchup
1 cup oatmeal or finely ground bread crumbs
1/2 cup chopped onions
Appropriate amounts of garlic, salt, pepper, parsley, and/or whatever spices you like

Gently mix above ingredients, place in a loaf pan or shape as a loaf and place on a baking pan

Place 3 or 4 slices of bacon on top

Bake at 350 for one hour

Yesterday I cooked some Albacore tuna steaks.

Salt and pepper steaks (I just used Lawry’s Seasoned Salt), then sear them in a pan with lots of olive oil (maybe a minute per side).

Stick them in the oven at 350F for desired amount of time (I kept them in there for 10 minutes and they were cooked a bit over medium … I was aiming for medium rare, though.)

Meanwhile, chop up some roma tomatoes, kalamata olives, and garlic. Toss them around in a pan with some olive oil. Pour in some white wine (or whatever alcohol of choice - something like Woodchuck apple cider works too) and simmer until most of it’s evaporated.

Serve steaks covered with tomato/olives mix. Yum.

I’m glad you liked it. :slight_smile: It’s a big hit in my house, very easy to make. I usually serve it with rice and a mixture of greek olives and dates.

I don’t normally like cinnamon, but this just goes to show. Used right, pretty tasty.

My SO hates all things rosemary, but I’ve hit her with a couple recipes wherein I think it’s used right, and she’s all “ooh, that’s good!”

Personally, I hate anise, but I’ve run across a few recipes which use it to good effect.

No-Brainer Chicken and Dumplings

A package of boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. If you use breasts, cut each one into thirds.
Flour
Poultry seasoning or your favorite combo of sage, thyme, whatever
A bag of frozen vegetables for soup
A can of cream of chicken soup (fat-free works great)
A can of chicken broth
Bisquick or similar
Celery seed
Milk

Dredge the chicken in a little flour and poultry seasoning. In a deep skillet or dutch oven, brown the chicken in a little fat of your choice – vegetable spray, canola oil, butter, whatever. When the chicken is browned, add the frozen veggies and the chicken soup and broth to the pan. Stir things around a bit to distribute the broth and soup. The liquids don’t need to be totally blended. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Follow the recipe on the Bisquick box for dumplings or make a loose biscuit dough if you’re using something besides Bisquick. BUT – add a couple of teaspoons of celery seed to the dry mix before you add the milk.

Use a regular ol’ spoon (not a teaspoon measure) to drop teaspoons of dough onto the simmering liquid. Cook UNCOVERED for ten minutes then cover and cook for ten more.
