Well it is BUCKEYES GAMEDAY and we decided that we wanted something different for a change.

Starting with a nice Spring salad and with Briana's buttermilk ranch dressing now one of my favorites.  ✓

And once or twice a year we will get a 10 piece KFC all dark meat extra crispy chicken $10.99, ok.  Well the extra crispy was dry and exploded when you bit it yet still the KFC greasy inside.  We still have that awful after taste.   X.                                     ?

See you in 2022 KFC....... maybe. 

Now back to some good GAMEDAY MEALS !    Maybe some grilled salmon for the BROWNS GAMEDAY.      Bon appetit.

Oh we use Ina Garten the barefoot contessa' favorite go to salmon marinade I love it !    It's a simple Dijon marinade and reserve some for a topping.

I'll put it up later.

Ina Garten's favorite ASIAN GRILLED SALMON recipe,  it's our absolute favorite too !  GAMEDAY, anyday we're going to have it for lunch today,  mmmm-mmmm.  

YIELD 4    ACTIVE TIME 5  TOTAL TIME  34

INGREDIENTS

1. • 1 side fresh salmon, boned but skin on (about 3 pounds). Can vary quantities for servings.
   • For the marinade:
   • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
   • 3 tablespoons good soy sauce
   • 6 tablespoons good olive oil
   • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

 

PREPARATION

1. 1. Light charcoal briquettes in a grill and brush the grilling rack with oil to keep the salmon from sticking. While the grill is heating, lay the salmon skin side down on a cutting board and cut it crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Whisk together the mustard, soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Drizzle half of the marinade onto the salmon and allow it to sit for 10 minutes.
   2.  Place the salmon skin side down on the hot grill; discard the marinade the fish was sitting in. Grill for 4 to 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. Turn carefully with a wide spatula and grill for another 4 to 5 minutes. The salmon will be slightly raw in the center, but don't worry; it will keep cooking as it sits. 
   3. Transfer the fish to a flat plate, skin side down, and spoon the reserved marinade on top. Allow the fish to rest for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.

We are having the above ^^^^ recipe today about 5 pm for an early college GAMEDAY supper.  My ? Penguins are on TV at 5 from UNI.

The only substitution we had a big package of chicken ? legs so it's a big bunch of drumsticks for Saturday and Sunday football !

............well it's later,  the only changes from the recipe we used all dark meat legs which I prefer and omitted the optional wine  which could go either way.   It's a simple but satisfying dish good enough for any weekday meal.   Also had some rolls and butter,. wife thinks a side of rice or noodles would be nice,. I agree.   Good not super great recipe.  B.

Baked pasta doesn't get the attention it deserves, but spinach-artichoke manicotti is here to change that. It has all the components of your favorite dip stuffed inside a cheesy, creamy Alfredo-covered manicotti. It's perfect for a weeknight dinner or for entertaining! 

 

★ If red sauce is more your thing, then try out our classic Cheese Manicotti! 

 

YIELDS 6 SERVINGS  PREP TIME:  0 HOURS 10 MINS ...... TOTAL TIME:  1 HOUR 5 MINS

 

INGREDIENTS

 

1 (8-oz.) package manicotti

1 (16-oz.) container ricotta

1 package frozen spinach, thawed and drained

1 c. chopped artichoke hearts

2 c. shredded mozzarella, divided

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes

3 tbsp. butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tbsp. all-purpose flour

2 c. milk

1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan

Juice of ½ a lemon

Freshly chopped parsley, for garnish

 

 

DIRECTIONS

 

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook manicotti until al dente, 5 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

 

In a large bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, artichoke hearts, and ½ cup mozzarella. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. 

 

Transfer to a piping bag or large resealable plastic bag and make a cut in the corner of the bag.

 

In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add flour and whisk until golden and bubbly, 1 minute. Slowly pour in milk and whisk until no lumps remain. Add Parmesan and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat and let simmer until slightly thickened, 5 minutes.

 

Spoon about ¼ cup of sauce on bottom of a 9"-x-13" baking dish. Pipe ricotta filling into manicotti, making sure to fill entire noodle and place in pan. Pour remaining sauce over noodles and top with remaining 1½ cups mozzarella. 

 

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is melty, 10 minutes. If you'd like the top to be golden, broil on high for 2 to 3 minutes. Garnish with parsley to serve.
