Re: Recipes..

I have delicious and easy recipes for a bunch of things I've made recently that FH likes. I'm about to hop in the shower and take my kitty to the vet in about 45 min so I'll list a few things and if you're interested in the recipe i'll type it out before i leave.

Chicken Marsala (w/ mushroom sauce)

Bean burritos

chicken 'stuffed' with rice/cheese

lasagna

buffalo salad (with hot sauce and bleu cheese)

trader joes also has some great easy options that FH loves -- they have an amazing 3 bean chili, delicious turkey meatballs (not your typical turkey burger taste - they are amazing), and pre-cooked breaded chicken breasts that come frozen and are great for dipping or making a quick chicken parm

Re: Recipes..

Im all about mexican! I make 2 cans refried beans...heat them and then put them in an ovensafe container and cover that with shredded sharp cheddar and let it melt.

I make white rice and add a can of sofrito and some kidney beans and that my quick rice and beans.

I put tortilla chips and salsa out..

and then i decide what kind of tacos, burritos, etc... i also put some refried beans to the side for myself to put in a shell, much healthier.....

and then i put out alllllll the fixins..,..including sliced jalapeno.....

then we decide if were eating tacos or guesadillas...

Re: Recipes..

Last night I made lemon and garlic chicken.

I just took boneless, skinless chicken breasts (I cut them in half... I'll eat less that way), sprinkled crushed garlic (I used 3 cloves, but I looooove garlic) over the top (more like rubbed the garlic over the top), squeezed fresh lemon juice over the top along with a little bit of EVOO and then sprinkled just a tiny bit of Italian breadcrumbs over the top of the chicken.

I baked it in a Pyrex glass baking dish on 375 for about 30 minutes. It was very yummy! I also made baby red potatoes and mixed veggies on the side.

Re: Recipes..

FH & I love this - easy & quick:

Chicken cutlets (defrosted)
Dip in eggs/ egg whites / egg beaters
Dip in Breadcrumbs

Put in frying pan with Olive Oil... cook on both sides until brown and cooked fully.

We like to have it with Cous Cous & veggies... DELISH!!!!

Re: Recipes..

I have a delish glazed meatloaf recipe if you want it, it is easy to make!

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef (I use turkey burgers)
3/4 cup milk (skim)
2 eggs (egg whites)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
Mix the brown sugar and ketchup in a bowl to pour over the meatloaf.
In a mixing bowl, mix thoroughly all remaining ingredients and shape into a loaf.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices are clear.
