EASY FOR THE WEEKEND

© Vaudie E. Harrison

Last week, I promised you that I would give you some more recipes for the upcoming Holiday Weekend, so here they are.

Now the last thing that anyone wants to do on a Holiday is to spend hours and hours slaving over a hot stove or grill so that everyone can have something to eat. So, bearing that in mind, here are some good but easy recipes for all of you.

The first recipe is one that might sound strange to you, but if you'll give it a try I think that you'll be surprised. You see, when Garlic is cooked this way, it becomes very mild and sweet. Believe me, you'll love it. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

BAR-B-Q GARLIC

8-10 Fresh Bulbs of Garlic (Whole, Not Separated Into Cloves)(More If Needed)

1/4 Cup Butter (Or Margarine)

4-6 Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary or Oregano

Aluminum Foil (As Needed)

Peel off the outer papery outer husks from the Bulbs of Garlic, leaving the Bulb intact. Cut off a small amount from the end of the Bulb. Place all the Bulbs of Garlic on a double layer of Aluminum Foil and top with the Butter and the Fresh Herbs. Fold the Foil over the Garlic and seal well. Grill over hot coals for about 45 minutes, being sure to turn occasionally. Serve I complete Garlic Bulb per person. Squeeze the Garlic from the skins and use as a spread on Crusty French Bread or Rye Bread <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

DEVILED EGGS

6-12 Hard Boiled Eggs

3-4 Tablespoons Mayonnaise or Salad Dressing

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce

1 1/2 teaspoons White Vinegar

1/2 teaspoon Dry Mustard

1/8 teaspoon Onion Powder

Black Pepper (To Taste)

Remove the Eggs from the shells and cut in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks from the whites and place in a medium bowl. With a fork, mash the yolks and then add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the halved Egg Whites or use a pastry bag to fill the Egg Whites. Chill until time to serve.

VARIATIONS FOR DEVILED EGGS

If you want something different, add one of the following to the Egg Yolk mixture.
