Quesadilla

We have a quesadilla maker so its a little easier to make them.

1 lb of stew meat

cheese

sour cream

tortillas

Cook the meat before hand.

On 1 tortilla spread sour cream over it like butter on toast

Lay it in the maker

Put some meat in the middle

Cover it with cheese

Place the other tortilla over it

Cook it for about 5 min. They are so good and fast.

Nachos

This is a classic at our house. The only pic I have is one of DH's taco he made out of the left over meat and cheese.

1 lb hamburger meat

1 pkgs taco seasoning

Campbell's cheese soup

Chips

Cook the hamburger according to the taco package. Heat the cheese and pour over the chips.

Chicken and Rice Bake

This was SO good and so easy to make. DH said this was one of his new fav dinners. I got this out of Oct's Cooking Light.

1 10oz can cream chicken soup

1 1/3 cups water

3 /4 uncooked rice

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

2c cups frozen veggies

4 skinless chicken breast

1/2 cup cheddar cheese

Stir soup, water, rice, onion powder, pepper, and veggies in a 11c8 baking dish

Top with chicken and cover

Bake at 375 for 45 min or until chicken is done

Top with cheese and let stand for about 5-10 min

Pizza Bread

I got this from a fellow nestie (but I dont remember who sorry). I was okay

1 roll refrigerated french bread dough

Pepperoni

Mozz Cheese

Egg Wash (1 egg white and water)

Pizza Sauce

Heat oven on 375

Roll out dough and

Spread pizza sauce over the dough

Sprinkle with mozz cheese

Carefully roll the dough in a cylinder shape
Pinch ends and top to seal

Brush top with egg wash

I put Italian seasoning and garlic salt on top

Make a few slices in the top of the loaf to allow air to vent

Bake at 375 for about 20 min

Basil Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breast

16 fresh whole basil leaves

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cups basil leaves

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon mince garlic

1-3 tablespoons olive oil

With knife parallel to cutting board, cut slit along one side of each chicken breast to for a pocket. Place 4 whole basil leaves in each pocket, press each breast closed. In a small bowl combine broth, chopped bail, lemon juice, pepper and garlic, and set aside. In medium nonstick skillet heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and brown on both sides. Pour broth mixture over the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low: cover and cook 7-8 min or until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside.

I cheated a little. Rich had to make this because messing with raw meat grosses me out and I can not do it. It sounds like a lot of work, but its really not that bad. Very moist and good!

Cavatelli

1 lbs of cavatelli noodles

1-20oz jar of spaghetti sauce (I used light)

1 pkg of pepperpmi (I used like 1/4 of the package)

3 cups of mozz cheese

Cook the noodles according to the package.

Mix ingredients in a 10x13 baking dish.

Cover with about 2 1/2 cups of cheese

Bake on 350 for about 20-30 min.

I take it out and add a little more cheese to the top and let it melt. Its fast, easy and very good.

I'm it

My 8 ''interesting'' facts

1. I am the biggest snow bunny ever! I LOVE the snow, its so pretty


2. I hate chunks of meat, yuck. I can not eat like meatloaf, meatballs, little chucks in my pasta (or anything else) I do however love cheeseburgers and steak. I don't know what it is, but I can not do it.

3. I could eat cucumbers and pickles everyday of the week several times a day if my body and diet would let me.

4. I speed all the time. I don't mean to, I just get to thinking about things and paying attention to the other drivers, and I forget about it. But I HATE when Rich speeds drives me crazy.

5. I love to play playstaion or Nintendo with Rich, he has some great games


6. I wish I was so much better in the kitchen than I am

7. I have a slight OCD when it comes to organization. Things have to be lined up, put away right, labels facing out or up. I can not help it.

8. I HATE tomato soup. I will have it to dip my grilled cheese in, but after that I throw it out. Its so nasty.
