Butterfly chops and sweet corn on the cob--grilled!!

[soleil]

Oh, and I am tossing some cut up red potatoes, mushrooms, and a little bit of onion in some olive oil, salt, pepper and baking it. Mmm!

What you having?

My daughter wanted meatloaf so decided to try something different than my usual meatloaf. I substituted stuffing mix like a lot of the reviewers did (I thought it sounded interesting), left out the bell pepper because I forgot to buy it and I used A1 pepper corn steak sauce. I also left the salt out because the stuffing mix is already salty.  I found it on allrecipes.com. I made it already but haven't put it in the oven yet.

I'm serving it with mashed potatoes, corn and rolls.

O......M.......G the meatloaf smells so good. It smells like no meatloaf I have ever made. Probably the peppercorn steak sauce.

Sounds yummy! I am a fan of meatloaf. How'd it turn out?

It was really good. I put the peppercorn steak sauce on top. It was really good except too peppery on the top for my youngest. I just cut off the top of it for her.

wow -- both the chops and the meatloaf sound great!!  We're utilizing the crockpot a good deal these days due to football practice.  J has practice from 3:30 til 7:30 everyday and next week starts 2-a-days so usually we don't eat dinner until 8 pm.

My husband threw chicken pieces (breasts and thighs), onions and green peppers into the crockpot and poured Lee & Perrins chicken marinade on top and some extra garlic . . . it turned out great!!  We had it with local corn on the cob -- very good dinner with minimal cleanup.

Local New Jersey corn....mmmmmmm      My local corn days are still ahead of me (September).  Think I'll make BBQ ribs this weekend, I love em, and get some non-local corn.

How many butterflies do you need to kill to get enough chops for a good serving?

Well, we had two whole chops. And it was just 2 of us, but I don't like really thick meat, so it is a win-win for me.

Ok, so I have a dirty mind and had to come back and comment on the last of my statement.
