Slow Cook Meatloaf

Since we have a couple of crock-pots, Lisa decided that she wanted to try some slow cooking recipes. So, she bought the Fix-It and Forget-It Our Best Slow-Cooker Recipes magazine. I looked through the magazine and saw the one thing that I wanted to try first. Meatloaf! I found Ruth Ann’s Meet Loaf recipe and after looking…

Home-Style Chicken Dinner

My father-in-law gave us a package of Perdue chicken breasts.  Since we needed to get them cooked, I found a recipe in Betty Crocker‘s magazine called Casseroles & One-Dish Meals called “Home-Style” Chicken Dinner.  I followed the basic recipe.  I excluded the sweet potatoes and add the McCormick Grill Mates, because I like the flavors…

Polynesian Stir-fry Chicken

Polynesian Stir-Fry Chicken This recipe is derived from a pork recipe in Taste of Home’s Comfort Food Diet Book.  The recipe called for pork, but I used chicken breast tenderloins instead.  The other recipe also called for peanuts, but I left them out.  You can add them if you’d like.  This recipe was so good,…

Pour – fix some more – n Bake Pumpkin Pie

I don’t think anyone can claim that pumpkin pie is not an important part of any Thanksgiving meal.  Of any part of the meal, pumpkin pie is probably the easiest to shop, prepare and bake.  In most cases, you can just walk into your local grocery store during the fall and winter and there will…

Campbell’s Green Bean Casserole

Mesquite Chicken and Rice Burritos

Lisa’s dad bought some chicken breast and decided that we would get more use out of them.  I usually buy boneless breast as a convenience,  but the basic ones are cheaper.  Last night we didn’t have anything planned to eat, so I decided we could easily make up some chicken burritos.  Burritos is one of…

Blah-ccoli casserole

Last night I cooked a broccoli casserole dish that I got from Paula Deen’s web site.  We cooked some chicken breasts in a skillet, sliced them up, and added them to the mix.  The result: Blah Maybe I was expecting too much from broccoli.  Maybe that kind of casserole is supposed to be bland.  It…
