2 chicken breasts

1 can of cream and broccoli soup

ways)

that sounds really good! i love new
recipes!
we had cheeseburger casserole tonight.
brown 1lb ground turkey.
mix in 1 can golden mushroom soup and 1
can cheddar cheese soup.
pour mixture into 9x13 sprayed baking
dish.
arrange crinkle cut fries on top in a
single layer.
bake at 350* for 50-55 minutes until fries
are golden brown. i also mix in a jar of
mushrooms.
ww
edit: i usually cut this recipe in
half because the leftovers are too high in
points for lunches. cut in half, this
makes 2 huge servings at 9 points. oh, and
i use a 9x9 pan.
another thing we eat weekly is salsa
chicken.
ww
edit: 1 cup = 5 points
1 lb chicken breasts (frozen)
1 can black beans
1 can corn
16oz salsa
place frozen chicken breasts in bottom of
crock pot. dump corn, beans and salsa on
top. cook on high for 3 hours. shred
chicken and mix everything together. it's
good by itself or in wraps with sour cream
and cheese.

Well I am not new mom and not even
Expecting yet but I have a few to share.
Quick Swedish Meatballs
1 package of prepackaged precooked
Meatballs (Turkey/beef/whatever)
1 PAckage of Beef Stroganoff Sauce Mix (
The dry pakets )
fat free or light Sour CReam
Extra Wide Egg Noodles ( I prefer the
Heathy Harvest whole wheat cheap to only
about 1.00each package)
step one:
-Boil the Egg Noodles
Step 2:<-- do while step one is being
cooked
-Follow Directions on the back of the
stroganoff package but omit the meat
steps
step 3:
-Put meatballs in the Microwave until
heated through ( best to defrost in the
freezer overnight)
step 4:
Put meatballs into a bowl and pour the
sauce over them
Serve over the noodles and viola YUM YUM!
* You can use more sour cream if you like
creamier sauces
* This usually takes me about 15-20
minutes to whip up and I always get rave
reviews

the best meatballs you'll ever
have
1 1/4 lb ground beef
2 eggs
a little over 3/4 but less than 1 cup of
plain breadcrumbs
1/4 c grated parmesan (the sprinkle kind
in the can)
1 1/2 T ketchup
salt and pepper
mix everything together and roll into
balls, you should get about 13. microwave
for 6 minutes, turning plate every 2
minutes. add to sauce and simmer for about
1/2 hour stirring occasionally.
ww
edit: this is not very points
friendly so we don't have them often. i
call one meatball 3 points.

we seem to get posts about recipes often
enough so I
will sticky this one and we can add to it
when we want.
Quick and easy
#1. 2-3 chicken breasts
egg noodles
shredded carrots
italian salad dressing
cut up chicken into bite sized pieces,
cook the chicken using some of the italian
dressing as your "oil" in the pan
cook the egg noodles
mix all together and add more dressing.
sometimes I add cheese on top and bake it
for 5-10 minutes at 350 (If I have extra
time)
I have an awesome chicken lasgana recipe
Mike and I made up. It's more work but if
anyone wants me to post it I will.
everyone asks me to make it constantly.
lol

one of my favorites that i used to hate
when my mom made it but now i love it is
shepards pie
you will need:
1lb ground beef
one pack of brown gravy
1-2 cans mixed veggies
mashed potatoes (can use real potatoes or
instant)
grated cheese
preheat oven to 350.
brown the ground beef and drain the fat.
add gravy mix and one cup water. gravy
should thicken alittle. drain the canned
veggies and mix in with the ground beef.
put the ground beef and veggie mix into an
8x8 cake pan cover with mashed potatoes
and sprinkle grated cheese over the mashed
potatoes back in the oven for 30 min or
until cheese is melted and starts turning
golden brown

you can adjust this to make as much as you
want and to your personal preference
2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts
1 10 oz bag fresh spinach
2 portabella mushrooms
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and pepper to taste
4 flour tortillas
desired amount of shredded mexican cheese
blend
ok this is pretty simple, just cut the
chicken into bite size strips and cook
them (I like to cook them with butter).
You can add salt if you don't like bland
chicken. When you are done, set this
aside.
sautee the mushrooms first. Portabella
mushrooms are a little pricy, but the
regular kind won't work, they tend to be
more juicy than portabella shrooms and
make the filling drippy. When the
mushrooms are almost done, add the bag of
spinach and sautee this as well. At this
point add the garlic and onion powder. I
like to add pepper as well.
now toss in the chicken and lower the heat
or set aside.
spray a 2 cookie sheets with pam or it's
equivalent, and place 2 flour tortillas
per sheet. sprinkle the desired amount of
cheese on the tortillas and bake for about
5-6 minute in an oven preheated to 350
degrees farenheit.
Now spoon the desired amount of chicken
spinach and mushroom onto the tortillas
and fold them for a yummy quesadilla!!!
*optional: you can lightly fry the
quesadilla by putting them in a pan with
vegetable oil, if you prefer crispy
quesadillas.

ok this might sound ghetto but its good.
take like, two packages of hotdogs
(depending on how many ppl ur feeding.. we
have a large house) and cut them all in
half. Get those buscuits that come in the
little blue rolls (the ones that when you
bake them up they are like, maybe an inch
and a half wide and come in like counts of
10) and roll one buscuit around each of
the hotdogs. Bake at 350 for about 8-10
minutes.
Pigs in a blanket!
