How 'bout our citrus rub?
 
Other uses for fluted panAny of those citrus are AWESOME with fresh rosemary, too. Orange goes well with basil, lemon-garlic-rosemary is my very favorite. ...otherwise...

Meatloaf - put mashed potatoes in middle

Pork chops - put stuffing in the middle

Lasagna or Ziti pasta - put breadsticks in the middle
