Help me prepare a menu

That book sounds like a great idea I may have to check it out, what I was going for was the same thing updated with my fellow forum members as a kind of up to date version of the book. If I make what you guys tell me here, I feel more connected to it instead of a book, (although it may be same people) lol

I usually do this on the BBQ instead of oven.

Bacon Wrapped, Cream Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts: LOW CARB!

1 boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons cream cheese
1 tablespoon green onion, Chopped
2 pieces bacon, Partially Cooked

Directions:

Pound out Chicken breast so it is about 1/4" thick.

Mix together cream cheese and green onions and spread cheese mixture over 1 side of chicken breast.

Roll CHicken breast up to conceal cream cheese.

Wrap partially cooked bacon around chicken breast and secure with toothpick.

Place on baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes at 375.

Broil for about 5 minute to crisp bacon.

Don't fall for any cultivated blueberries...these are often found in the markets and at some farm stands. For the real experience...take some time and pick them along the shoreline or find a farm stand that sells wild low-bush berries. They will be smaller in size but much sweeter.

A fresh pie topped with a high butter fat French Vanilla ice cream from Kellerhaus or Jordan's is a family favorite.

A good feed of BBQ ribs and fresh NH sweet corn with assorted salads is great picnic table fare. Save it for a warm night, afterwards, everyone can jump in the lake and wash the BBQ sauce and melted butter from their chins. It saves on the napkins!!

Shish-kebabs...chicken, beef, big shrimp, marinated and grilled with whatever local vegetables available. Serve over a wild rice mix. Cooks easy and fast.

*How about a Mexican night? Make your own Taco's with fish, beef or chicken add a nice Spinach salad with a variety of veges and fruits topped with feta cheese and raspberry vinegar. And of course some Margerita's!

*One of my favorite breakfasts that my brother got me hooked on when he made a brunch - Sautee mushrooms, broccoli, spinach or any variety of veges that you like then top it with an egg or two. I usually flip it and add some feta cheese but it gets crunchy and is so yummy and low in calorie. I often eat it for lunch but it's nice to serve for breakfast when you have company.

*Also make some french toast with the thick cinnamon bread and then slice it into sticks so they can be dipped in maple syrup.

*Cut up some sweet potatoes and arrange them in a baking dish cover with purple onion and seasonings - bake at 400 for about 30 minutes until they are tender then add feta cheese and dried cranberries and cook another 5-10 minutes. Yummmy!

Sounds weird, but on a hot summer day this salad really hits the spot.

May be pushing towards the end of the season, but you could try to be "somewhat" adventurous and head out for the day and climb Mt Major, a very easy about 45 minute climb, from the top killer views of the entire lake sprawl out in front of you. Oh and bring some containers because there are a ton of wild blueberries for the picking there. Lots of work, but MMM can't beat free and doesn't get much more organic. Also some great areas to pick up on Gunstock too.

You guys have been great! I am going to actually make a menu in color and give it to the women who have no idea about the trip. And as I prepare the foods and serve them I will take photos and share

I made something very similar last nite for the first time. Southwestern chicken: pounded breasts, cream cheese, fresh cilantro and salsa, rolled up like a jelly roll. Taco seasoning and sprinkle of mex cheese on top. Fabulous.

No bacon though.

Steak rubbed with 3 parts pepper, 3 parts salt, and 1/2 part garlic powder with grilled potatoes and zucchini. Simple but always delicious.

I had this dish at Burton's Grill. I have to eat gluten free and this is amazing! Sea scallops pan seared with a moderate blend of cajun style
seasonings, served over a creamy parmesan risotto with fresh shrimp, corn,
snap peas and a delicate lemon butter sauce.
It's a little work but well worth it!
