We had taco salad last night. that was
easy and really yummy... i don't think
anyone needs a recipe for that... everyone
knows how to make tacos, so then you just
turn it into a salad...

I saw the easiest Chicken
recipe in a magazine today
Smash up a cup of French Fried Onions (the
kind you use to make Green bean
casserole)
Beat an egg
Wet a chicken breast in the egg and coat
with the onions and bake until done.
It looked
great.
That sounds really good. I love chicken.
I'm not a big fan of red meat (tho I eat
more now than I ever have......maybe
that's why my iron has been good!) But
chicken is my favorite kind of meat. Have
you tried the recipe yet?

ok,this is more of a snack idea but still
easy and good
needed:
-rolls in the blue tube
-pizza sauce
-pepperoni
-shredded cheese
get the rolls and put them on a cookie
sheet and place them in the oven for about
5-10 minutes just to get them to rize a
little.take them out and take your thumb
and make a hole int the middle of the
yeast.take a spoon and put some pizza
sauce in the middle,then some cheese and
place a pepperoni on top.pop it in the
over for 10-15 miutes (may need a little
longer) at 350 degrees and you have a
snack!

I don't know what you call it, but it's
super easy. I just tried it tonight,
compliments of .campbell's cream of
mushroom soup (that's where I got the
recipe!)
about 4 chicken breasts (Tho I used
boneless skinless thighs)
1 can of cream of mushroom soup
Put the chicken in a casserole dish, and
cover with the soup, cook at 400* for 30
minutes or until chicken is done.
Then I made some tastey (probably
fattening) mac n' cheese.
cook your noodles as normal, drain the
water, throw in a few chunks of velveeta
(according to how many noodles you make) a
bit of butter and some milk, and then
shredded mozzarella cheese. You may need
to add a touch of salt.

we're having bbq chicken sandwiches
tonight, wicked easy!
put chicken breasts in large pot of
boiling water, boil for 20 minutes (25-30
if frozen).
shred using 2 forks (or run under cold
water to cool off, then use your hands).
mix in desired amount of favorite bbq
sauce.
serve on rolls.
yum!
ww
edit: weigh your chicken *before*
you cook it. chicken is 1 point per raw
ounce, so weigh it and decide how many
servings there will be. weigh it again
after you cook and shred it, divide your
servings and you'll know how many points
it is. (does this make sense?) add points
for the bbq sauce and rolls! i usually add
the bbq sauce separately to each serving
so i can measure out exactly 1 point
worth.

Cheesy Ham And Potato Soup. Posted: 06-30-07 22:08pm
This is from scratch, but it's super
easy.
Ingredients:
1/3 c. flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 c. butter (give or take according to
preference)
1 large onion, chopped (may also add
carrots and celery to this)
6 med. potatoes, peeled, cubed and cooked
(I cube them before I boil them)
8 oz velveeta cheese
2 c. half and half cream
8 c. water
2 or 3 tbsp chicken bouillon
2 C. cubed or diced ham (I just buy the
cooked stuff you would use in a salad)
Instructions:
Sautee the onion, in the butter until they
are tender. Set aside. Put flour, salt and
pepper in a large dutch oven or kettle,
and slowly add the half and half (make
sure it's all mixed in) and cook until it
thickens quite a bit.
Remove from heat, add velveeta (make sure
it's mostly melted before adding the rest
of the ingredients) ham, bouillon, water,
cooked potatoes and the sauteed onions.
Bring it to a boil, and then it's ready.
You can use rice instead of potatoes as
well, or add or take away different
veggies. And if you don't like onions, you
can buy the frozen chopped onions, and
they are quite small, so you can't taste
the onions, but it does add flavor.
I cook the potatoes ahead of time, that
way they are ready to add. But I make sure
they're still warm when I add them. Cook
them according to how tender you want
them.

this isn't hard but the prep is a little
time consuming.
greek
spinach pie
preheat oven to 350*
ingredients:
one package fillo dough (this will make 2
pies, be sure to thaw overnight in
fridge)
4 eggs
1 8oz package softened cream cheese (i
just take it out about an hour before i'll
start)
16oz cottage cheese (sm. curd, i use
lowfat)
8oz grated muenster cheese
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 package frozen spinach (thawed and wrung
out)
1 stick of butter, melted
mix everything except butter and fillo
dough together. it's best if you start
with the eggs and cream cheese so you get
it nice and soft and there aren't any
chunks, then add in the cottage cheese a
bit at a time so it's mixed evenly.
keep the fillo in the fridge until you're
ready to use it. i hate working with that
stuff, it's so delicate.
brush a 9x13 pan with melted butter. place
2 fillo sheets on bottom of pan. place one
on each corner, 1/2 in and 1/2 out. then
one more on bottom (we're up to 7 separate
sheets). brush each layer with butter.
spread filling in pan. fold in fillo
sheets. add one more on top, again
buttering each layer, then one more.
bake 45-50 minutes until golden brown.

Pumpkin Bars Posted: 08-21-07 13:53pm
Pumpkin Bars with Cream cheese Frosting
1 (15 or 16oz) can Pumpkin
4 eggs
3/4 C. oil
2 C. sugar
2C. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
****Optional, chopped walnuts****
Preheat oven to 350*.
Sift/mix together all dry ingredients, set
aside. Mix together all wet ingredients,
pour into dry ingredients and mix well.
(Here is where you would add the walnuts
if you choose) Pour into greased cake pan
(13x9 or so) and bake for 25 minutes, or
until a toothpick comes out clean when
poked into the pumpkin bars.
Frosting:
8 oz package cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla extract (imitation is
fine)
2 TBSP margarine
2 C. powdered sugar.
Combine all ingredients, being careful
when using the mixer until the powdered
sugar is mixed into the rest....it tends
to fly all over otherwise.
Spread frosting over cooled pumpkin bars

Veggie Crescent Pizza Posted: 08-21-07 14:08pm
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls
2-8oz. packages cream cheese
2/3 C. mayo
1 tsp. dillweed
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 TBSP chopped green onion
Press crescent rolls into ungreased cookie
sheet (rectangle) or pizza pan (circle)
and bake according to package directions.
Allow to cool completely.
Mix cream cheese and rest of above
ingredients and spread over cooled
crescent rolls. Then top with your
favorite veggies and cheese. I like to use
broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and olives.
You can buy a bag of the broccoli,
cauliflower and carrots combined in one
bag in most grocery stores, and I just use
the small can of sliced olives.
2 Cans Cream of chkn soup
1 Can Cheddar Soup
1 Can Rotell Tomatoes
Crunched up Doritos
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Mix it all together and add some more
chips and shredded cheese to the top. Cook
at 350 until bubbly.
This takes me about 10 minutes to make. My

chicken in it but then i noticed its cream
of chicken soup.
I printed out all the pages from this hehe

i don't have exact measurements because i
usually just throw it together, but...
baked chicken and ziti
chicken, cooked and cubed (i like a lot so
i usually use around 2 pounds)
1 box ziti, cooked and drained (but i use
rigatoni)
28 oz can crushed tomatoes (but you might
want to add another 1/2 can)
lowfat ricotta (again, i like a lot so i
think i usually use the 24 oz container)
shredded mozzarella
i like this as is but you'd probably want
to add garlic to the chicken and sauteed
onions to the tomatoes, maybe some oregano
to the tomatoes too. sometimes i'll add
spinach to the ricotta or mushrooms to the
tomatoes.
in a 9x13 baking dish, pour 1/3 tomatoes
in bottom, mix ricotta with pasta and pour
into dish, spread chicken evenly over the
top, top with rest of tomatoes, sprinkle
mozzarella evenly over top. bake at 375*
for 20 minutes until cheese is melted and
bubbly.
this makes a massive amount.

stuffed mushrooms!
1 lb ground sausage (your choice of
flavor), cooked and crumbled
1 package frozen spinach, cooked and
drained
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan
white mushrooms, stems removed
mix everything except the mushrooms
together and start stuffing! i made about
30-35 mushrooms and had a lot of filling
leftover, you could probably get 50-60 out
of this (or cut the recipe in half).
bake for 15-20 minutes at 350*.
most probably consider this an appetizer
but we had it with caesar salad and texas
toast and it was an awesome meal.
