Tips
for Holiday Meals
Most families eat relatively
the same types of foods during the holidays. Some
people are cooking hams, some turkeys, some prime
rib, and lots of leftovers. I would like to share
with you a few tips when you are cooking this year.

Onda
(“The Vegas Jackpot”)
For me, it is fun to try and
find the perfect meal. This year I hit the culinary
“Jackpot” in Vegas. Uncle Ronnie introduced me to
a couple guys he works with at the Mirage: Jeff Braun
(Assistant Executive Chef) and Keith Ball (Food and
Beverage Director). They came to visit us at the track.
It was their first race, but I guarantee you that
it was not their last.

in Purgatory
They don’t need a filet mignon,
or a shrimp cocktail. They don’t want cream sauce
or anything elaborate. They just want the simple pleasures
that they grew up eating for a quick fix.

Fruit
Toast
If you are going to make this
recipe- Do it right! This should be made on a quiet
Sunday morning when you have time to relax and enjoy
the flavors. Before you start, brew a strong pot of
coffee and get the newspaper ready.

Grand$$ Fruit Omelet
This past race in Dallas I decided
to get my Fruit Omelet recipe together for my readers.
It is a little difficult to make until you have made
it a couple times, but it is really impressive if
you take the time to make this for someone.

from “The Patio”.

Spicy
Eggplant Dip
Eggplant is not the easiest
vegetable to make taste great. Anyway, I combined
the data I collected and created this recipe that
happens to be one of my favorite eggplant recipes.
I use it as a dip at parties. It’s a real hit.

Toyo Tires NHRA Nationals | Reading, PA Gazpacho
On that hot summer day when
it is too hot to eat, this is the perfect recipe!
If you do not have a garden, stop by your local farmer’s
roadside stand and grab the freshest ingredients that
you can. |

Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals | Brainerd, MN Hoisin
Glazed Pork Loin
I really like this recipe because
it is a fairly easy and fast recipe if you can cook
on a grill, but the flavor seems like you cooked all
day.

Popcorn
Vencenzo
I know that it is very easy
for you to buy a bag of popcorn and throw it in the
microwave, hit the popcorn button and turn on the
TV. But, is this what it has come to? Are we to busy
to even pop popcorn?
