Beer Brats
Boil your Brats in the beer that you have add some sliced onions and garlic to and use a good dark beer like Guinness!. I actually like to use both Guinness and either Bass Ale or Harps Ale because I like the taste of Black and Tans!. Remove the Brats and onions from the beer, keeping the onions!. After removing your Brats from the beer, continue to boil the beer until you reduce it by at least half and then brush it on the sausages while grilling!. Take the leftover onions and saute them in a pan or on the grill with a bit of butter and serve over the grilled Brats with spicy mustard and maybe some sauerkraut!.
**************************************!.!.!.
Smoked Sausage and either Au Gratin or Scalloped potatoes!.
Make your own potatoes or use the Betty Crocker boxed ones, slice up a piece of smoked sausage and mix into the potatoes!. Bake according to recipe directions!. I like to serve this with a tossed salad and a large glass of unsweetened Iced Tea!.

I try to make one new recipe a week, and get ideas from watching Food Network!. For example, tonight I'm making a calzone that I saw Guida make the other night: refrigerated pizza dough rolled into a rectangle!. Put a little pasta sauce on it, and slices of fresh mozzarella and thin ham (she used prosciutto), topped with fresh spinach!. Roll it up (tuck in the ends) and bake until browned!.!.!.!. cut into slices!. I'm serving a green salad and fruit salad with it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
We discovered a good, new meal that we like to make! Take the large "grands" refrigerated biscuits!. Press them down w/ a cup, and leave a little lip around the edge for the crust!. Then put on sauce, cheese, and whatever toppings you like!. Then put them in the oven, and bake! Easy and good! We also like to make grilled tuna sandwiches!. Just get a can of tuna, mix miracle whip or mayo in with it, and grill them on a piece of bread (or two!) with a slice of cheese!Www@FoodAQ@Com
We like to have breakfast for dinner sometimes!. Cereal and fresh fruit is marvelous and I always add a handful of pecans or other nuts!. With the cold milk, it is marvelous!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
