Sick of cooking the same stuff for Dinner!!!

Pete has served coffee to a guest in just an apron and nothing else! (he had had a few wines and thought it was funny) I got very embarrassed! My friend though it was funny though! He had gone into the kitchen to make coffee fully clothed and came back with a tray and nothing on but the apron, when he turned around to take the tray back to the kitchen it was just too much!!!!!!!!

Very easy and delish!!!

I discovered this recipe 2 days ago and it is so yummy and SO easy to make:

Parmesan Chicken

2 chicken breasts and pound them til they are 1/4 inch thick

Combine 1/3 cup flour, 1/3 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper on a plate. In a wide bowl, beat an egg with 1/2 tablespoon water.
On a separate plate, combine 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Coat the chicken with the flour mixture, then dip into the egg and dredge through the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly.

Heat a pat of butter and 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a saute pan and cook each side of the chicken on medium heat until cooked through.


Serve with salad.

Re: tuna casserole. Crumbled potato chips make a good topping, too.

Meat loaf is cheap and easy. I use 1 1/2-2 lbs. LEAN (80%+) ground beef and 1/2 lb. of pork sausage, saltine cracker crumbs, 1 egg and spices. Mix 1/2 small can of tomato sauce into the mix. Top the loaf with the other half. For extra flavor, put strips of bacon or bell pepper on top.

Ohhh..before Christmas, I could Shake n Bake and that sort. NOWWW..my mother bought be a cookbook! it is the one that is red and white plaid checked on the cover. Can't remember if it is Better Homes and Gardens or Betty Crocker. ANYWAY.....YOWZA! I am soo motivated! In fact, tonight...I loaded up on spices at the store....


Tuna Noodle Casserole with the soup?? NO WAY!!! You GOT to make the sauce with the butter, flour, milk, and chicken broth! And..no..not just bread crumbs...you need to mix them with a little bit of melted butter to give them just the right flavor without drowning the crap out of them.

I made a cake from scratch! And meatloaf.... Oven Fried Pork Chops were the best. All you do is put a little bit of melted butter on a cookie sheet. Crush up a bag of Stove Top Stuffing mix. Mix an egg, some salt and pepper in a bowl...dip your chops in the mixture, roll them in the stuffing, toss them in the pan...throw it in the oven. YEAH! And YUMMY!

We are talking this is from someone who would never even HEAT the freakin' Chef Boy R Dee stuff. I would eat it out of the can, ok?! lol

Jeez Carrie...almost everything you talked about had butter in it! Are you addicted to butter or what? LOL!

Funny you mention that....:tounge2: I was wondering why I had to buy another pound of butter tonight at the store! Why is it everything needs freakin' butter!!!!!!

Just get the taco shells, taco seasoning mix, and ground meat at the store, follow the directions on the mix, add toppings (cheese, lettuce, etc.) and voila! dinner. If you want to get fancy you can get a can of refried beans and some tortillas and do double-decker tacos. You can also get spanish rice mix to add to the meal.

I have also seen a fajita mix that is quite good & easy.

If you have a crock-pot, these links have lots of recipes:

And, the best brisket I ever had was just cooked for a few hours in the crock pot with a jar of salsa. Crock-Pots Rule!!

Ya I want to get a crock pot! Is it true you can just leave it on while you go out and it is safe?

Ginger

Buy a Rival crock pot the one that is programmable. So easy to use and turns off when you tell it to.

As a general rule, YEPPERS! But, I have always been weird about anything running like that when I am not home.

I have a pasta alfredo meal that is a hit with everyone, and you can add things to it to make it more flavourful, such as pesto, chicken, etc.

Boil 8oz fettucine pasta

When pasta is done, strain.

In a pot, mix 8oz low fat cream cheese, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 3/4 cup italian cheese (parmesan, mozzarella, etc - you can buy 6 cheeses in one bag, shredded at the grocery store, its made by Kraft).

Mix the above ingredients until thick.

When done, Serve pasta on top of fettucine, but I mostly put the fettucine in the pot with the sauce and mix it all together.

It only takes a couple of minutes to cook the sauce, stir it all the time and never leave it unattended.

Crock pots rule. Supper's ready when you get home from work.

All Recipes has a GREAT recipe for beef roast using cr of mushroom soup and lipton onion soup mix.

I also like to put a chicken in the crock pot in the morning with chicken broth, celery salt, bay leaf, onion, and about 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar. Falls off the bone after cooking on low for 8-10 hours on low. Throw in some garlic if you like it (I love it).

Beef stew is also easy to make in the crock pot.

Tuna casserole... one of my favorites. I like to put in those french fied onions for flavor. (Like green bean casserole... mmm....)

My favorite topic... food.

Quick and Easy Stew

1 can golden mushroom soup
1 can french onion soup

Brown meat in a little butter. Add soups, veggies and seasoning (no salt-enough comes from the soup). Cook ~1 hour on medium flame (stew should simmer) or until you can't wait any longer. Serve with noodles, rice or really crusty bread.

You need:

6-6 oz boneless chicken breasts
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp shredded ginger root
1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
1 minced jalapeno pepper (exclude seeds)
1/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs

Preparations:

Wash chicken breasts and lay flat on a baking sheet
Preheat oven to 350*F (180*C)
in a small mixing bowl blend the butter, garlic,ginger,thyme,jalapeno,and the bread crumbs

with a small knife, gently lift the skin of the chicken from the meat.
Stuff equal amounts of the butter filling under the skin. Skewer the ends with toothpicks to seal.

Bake the chicken in the oven for 20-25 mins, or untill golden brown.

Yummy! Great ideas!
I'll have to invest in a crock pot soon.
