Chicken and Dressing Casserole

Wed, 13 May 2009 22:19:30 -0400

This was one of my mom's recipes. It's a little bit different than those already on 'Zaar, but every bit as good. Sometimes, if I'm in a rush, I'll use cooked chicken breast strips (found in the refrigerated meat section) . I prefer white meat. That being said, you can also "tear up" a rotisserie chicken if pressed for time. My mom used to poach boneless chicken breasts. Any way you make it, it's "good & tasty" (as per my mom's notation). Note - prep time does not include cooking the chicken. -- posted by Sweet PQ?

3-Ingredient Pan-Simmered Italian Boneless Pork Chops

Wed, 20 May 2009 15:15:01 -0400

You will NOT believe how good these pork chops are, after seeing how EASY they are to make. These are so simple, yet worthy of serving to company. I get rave reviews every time I serve them and I'm always asked for the recipe, yet almost embarrased to give it! The trick is to cook slowly with enough heat, but not so much that the chops are boiling to get tough and dry. And the cooking time is very flexible...you can simmer these for up to 6 hours if you'd like. (By the way, I consider the salt and pepper "freebies" in the ingredient count!) -- posted by Mom67

The American Indians in this region call corn, beans, and squash the 'Three Sisters' becasue, when planted together, the nourish eachother and protect eachother from garden pests. I reccomend Acorn or Pattypan squash. The squash in this recipe can, however be sustituted with potatoes. Still delicious! -- posted by Elspaghetti

Tagliolini With Pecorino Romano and Black Pepper

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:04:00 -0400

Don't let the number of ingredients fool you, this dish offers a lot of flavor despite it's simplicity. Be sure to get high quality ingredients; it makes a big difference in a recipe with so few ingredients and it's still ridiculously cheap to make. Even the pepper is important, don't use the powdery stuff that's been sitting around for a year, splurge on some high quality peppercorns; you won't regret it. The lack of oil is one of the most notable things about this recipe. While some add oil or butter to this dish, you'll find it really isn't necessary. Instead you use the starchy pasta water to create an emulsion sauce with your cheese which will stick to the pasta beautifully. As for the pasta itself, taglioni is a particular cut, but this recipe would work just as well with something thicker like tagliatelle or fettucine. Although it's an old Roman favorite, I got this recipe from a recipe blog called "Rachel Eats" which I highly recommended. I wanted to post it on here to give it a wider audience. -- posted by OwlMonkey

Frozen Baby Meal 1 of 6 (Spaghetti)

Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:22:03 -0400

This is one of six frozen baby meals I used to make for my son. A friend gave me the combination and with minimal preparation you save yourself time and money. All six are really pretty good and I've made them for myself in a pinch. I would either try to use leftover meat from other dishes I'd prepared or intentionally make extra to use for these meals. My son used to have a three-compartment baby tray with lid and I'd put one or two frozen cubes in the first slot, a little baby vegetable in the second slot and a little baby fruit in the last slot and he was set for lunch. I'd have his tray ready the night before or in the morning and by lunch the frozen cube(s) had almost thawed and just needed a little warming in the microwave. The serving sizes are difficult to determine since it is dependent on the age of the child. -- posted by Queen Puff

This title is a bit misleading--I don't find the dish to be very spicy, but some people do, hence the warning label. I made it up one night when I had fifteen minutes to get dinner on the table--I juggled my pots and had it ready in twelve! Don't worry if it sounds like it needs more herbs or spices, it is tasty as is. The peanuts are a South African thing to add--try it at least once. -- posted by GreenEyed Precious

Found this recipe on Care2 website @ http://www.care2.com/greenliving/ten-mothers-garlic-and-spinach-soup.html Adapted from The Roasted Vegetable, by Andrea Chesman (Harvard Common Press, 2002). This delicious broth, redolent with garlic and enriched with the vitamins and minerals of fresh spinach, takes its name from an old folk saying that garlic is as good as ten mothers. This soup is not only tasty and nourishing, it makes a comforting remedy for winter sniffles and sneezes. -- posted by SassiFras

A tasty dish that combines most kid's favorites - hot dogs and baked beans. The sweet potato and the carrots in the orange puree add not only a top source of nutrients and fiber but a delicious hint of sweetness! Adapted from the Sneaky Chef Cookbook by Missy Chase Lapine. -- posted by Sharon123

This couldn't be easier. Use the cheapest cut of meat you can find - and it will be great. Any type of beer also. Freezes really well if you have any left over! -- posted by NancyB

This recipe makes the gravy from the seasoning packet included in the Rice-a-Roni, so there's no additional expense for the gravy. Got to make a dollar holler! :) -- posted by MakeDollarHoller

Ramen and Veggies

After searching for recipes including ramen noodles and frozen veggies, I found that the way I made them was different than what was recommended since I had one of the packages of frozen veggies that steams when you microwave it. -- posted by kathi823

I picked this up from the Stater Bros Menu Butler program. I only tried it once but with white rice and it turned out very mushy but tasty. -- posted by kimemeki
