I'm so glad someone resurrected this thread. I love recipe sharing. I'll have to dig up some to add.
This is an easy and quick MICROWAVE shrimp scampi recipe. My friend gave it to me for my husband, as I'm NOT a seafood person:
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 T lemon juice
1/2 cup butter
2 T minced parsley
1.5 lb. shrimp
Saute garlic in melted butter for 1-2 minutes in microwave. Add parsley and lemon juice. Add shrimp, toss to coat. Microwave on high 306 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes. He eats it over angel hair pasta.

Here is a chicken recipe that also includes the use of popcorn as a stuffing. Imagine that. When I found it, I thought it was perfect for people like me, who just are not sure how to tell when poultry is thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. Give this a try.
BAKED STUFFED CHICKEN
6-7 lb. Chicken
1 cup melted butter
1 cup stuffing (Pepperidge Farm is good.)
1 cup uncooked popcorn (ORVILLE
REDENBACHER'S LOW FAT)
Salt/pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush chicken well with melted butter, salt, and pepper. Fill cavity with stuffing and popcorn.
Place in baking pan with the neck end toward the back of the oven.
Listen for the popping sounds. When the chicken's rear blows the oven door open and the chicken flies across the room, it's done.

Some people just need a high five.... in the face.... with a chair...
OK, this one's been up since November and I just discovered it Friday... made them on Saturday. In fact, I gave the recipe to a coworker and she made them this weekend as well!
I like them; my husband and daughter weren't nuts about them. They have no sense of adventure! (Of course, the fact that Daughter is just coming off a ten-day course of orange-flavored antibiotic didn't help.)
BUT... I take pictures of my confections, so here they are! I recommend them, but be aware... with a cookie scoop, this recipe makes about seven dozen cookies!

Dump Cake
1 can crushed pineapple
1 can cherry pie filling (you can use any fruit pie filling)
1 small box yellow cake mix (if you use a regular size box of cake mix only use half the box
1 stick of butter
1 tablespoon of sugar
Using a small square or rectangular pan. Open the crushed pineapple and drain out about half to 3/4 of the juice. Dump that can in the pan and spread out evenly. Dump in the cherry pie filling and spread out evenly over the pineapple. (try not to mix them together, although a little mixing is hard to avoid). Put enough DRY cake mix of the top of the cherry pie filling to cover and the cake mix should be about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Melt the butter and gently pour the butter over the dry cake mix. Try to get this as even as possible. Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the butter. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. It's ok if you don't completely cover the cake mix with the butter, there is enough moisture in the cherry pie filling to wet the cake mix.
This is so yummy. This was a favorite of my late fathers. I haven't had the heart to make it since he passed away. But I'm sure that if you like pie, you'll love this. It's kind of like a cobbler.
Enjoy! Let me know if you like it too.

My Cajun Grannys Tater Salad
This depends on how many people you are a feeding
Diced radishes about one bunch
half a red onion diced
bunch of green onion diced
dozen eggs diced
Best food mayo and mustard and 1 cap red wine viniger
Lawreys seasoning salt and pepper (fresh ground)
I always mix everything but the taters in a huge bowl season to taste (too much mixing with the taters in it can mush em)
make sure the taters are cold when you slice and dice they cut easier.
Then add them little at a time and mix with your plastic gloves on. spoons seem to mush the taters.
you can always add a little more mustard or mayo or seasoning as you mix if you didn't make enough. Always let it sit over night so the onion and stuff flavor the taters. Next day just before serving you mix it once again and then add your sliced eggs and maybe black olives for garnish. (I do not use paprika too many people are allergic to it) I put a little parsley on top for looks.
I have never seen a bowl of that go unfinished at any bbq yet.
Deviled eggs
always cook eggs in enamel pan and add viniger so they dont get that grey look
Put yolks in bowl and and use mixmaster to whip em
add finely chopped green onions and chppped black olives rinsed and drained so not to turn yolks black. or use some chopped jalepinos or sweet peppers
mustard
bestfood mayo (because it is not sweet like miracle whip)
lowerys seaon salt and ground pepper or a dash of white pepper to give it a tangy taste
you can use a pastry bag and squeeze the yolks into egg whites or scoop and then use a fork to make little ridges.
Here's a summer refresher that got me unaddicted to soda...
Refreshing Spa Water
Sliced Cucumber
Sliced Lemon
Sprig of Mint (if it tickles your fancy)
Put the above in large pitcher or water bottle. Cover with ice, and fill with water. Refill as necessary during the day. It won't keep overnight though. The kids love this, surprisingly enough. My DD likes to pick the cucumber out and eat it.

My own, personal, Dexter...
These sound fabulous. I've also read that a good way to make a "perfect" deviled egg is to lay the eggs on their sides over night prior to boiling so that the yolk is more centered when you slice them and put the filling in. I don't know if it works or not, but that's what I read.
Easier devilled eggs. Use your favorite devilled egg recipe.. However, peel and slice your eggs lengthwise, and place the yolks in a 1 quart zip lock bag. Add all your other ingredients, and then zip the bag shut without extra air.. mash, mash, mash the bag, until everything is completely mixed, and then snip a small hole in one corner of the bag, and squeeze the egg yolk mixture back into the egg whites as if using a pasty bag.. When you are done, just throw away the zip lock bag.
3 Cups Self Raising Flour
3 Tbl Sugar
1 Bottle Of Beer
Mix It Up, Put It In Greased Loaf Pan

It Was Absolutely Delicious!!! Sooo Easy, We Had It With Chicken Soup! Yummy
You Can Also Add Cheese, Sesame Seeds, HERBS, Etc...
pull the string!
Sounds easy, tasty, and like alcohol abuse! I don't know if can part with a whole bottle of beer for baking purposes, but I'll gird my loins and try it. It will pain me to do so, heh heh!
Here's a recipe my hubz and I tried out yesterday.
Garlic and Romano dipping sauce
1 cup freshly grated romano chese
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove crushed with press
crusty italian bread (or chips )
In small serving bowl, combine romano cheese, crushed red pepper, olive oil and crushed garlic. With wire whisk, mix these ingredients together until wel combined. Serve the sauce at room temperature with bread for dipping.
I also dipped my cooked veggies in this, and put a dollop over my bunless cheeseburger last night... Nobody will want to come near me today.
