My brother and I love this hotdish. Actually, our whole family does, but we do the most! This is a filling meal that you can't get sick of! (So it is great for leftovers!) Plus, it is really easy to make, and all of the ingredients are on hand! -- posted by Bec

Greggie's Hotdish

Sun, 31 Mar 2002 16:51:12 -0500

Greggie's hotdish is a hotdish that was my uncle Greg's absolute favorite, so it was his! We always serve this with Green Stuff, corn, and Gedney pickles. Everyone in the family loves it! We always double the recipe, simply using a full 24 ounce container of cottage cheese and a 16 ounce container sour cream, and cooking it in two baking dishes. -- posted by Bec

I don't remember where I got this recipe, but I have tweaked it here and there over the years. My family likes this version because it is not sloppy wet like so many others out there. However, this recipe can be served wet too. -- posted by Melodee

Lemon Pepper Grilled Roast

Fri, 13 Sep 2002 14:20:57 -0400

Mon, 04 Nov 2002 23:10:15 -0500

I have not made this but I think it would be a different change from the traditional cornbread stuffing we eat at Thanksgiving time. This was exported from Mastercook. I found it on Recipe Source. (enough for 8-10 lb turkey) -- posted by James Craig

Mom's "On Strike" Casserole

Wed, 11 Dec 2002 20:23:28 -0500

I found this recipe out of the blue-we tried it and loved it! If you want it to look a little more 'fresh', just boil the 2 cups water first, and let the noodles soak for a minute or two, and pour the noodles (and water) into the pan like before. (you need the water!) Also, it is very easy to double for large groups! (Which is what we have to do just to feed our family of 8!) -- posted by Bec

Easy Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin Roast

Wed, 05 Feb 2003 20:14:38 -0500

This is the most delicious and easy crock pot meal. It's great to just throw the ingredients into the crock pot in the morning, then I just serve with rice or egg noodles and a veggie and salad and my family loves it. It's nice for my family as there are just the three of us so we get two meals out of it. -- posted by janice brady

Easy (And Tasty) Meatloaf

Mon, 10 Feb 2003 20:07:24 -0500

This is the meatloaf recipe my family has used my whole life. I love it! Of course, we have to double to whole recipe, using 2 to 3 pounds ground beef, the whole package of onion soup mix, and a 12 fluid ounce can of Carnation evaporated milk. This is good with baked potatoes and some Bush's baked beans. (or any other vegetables: corn, peas...) I hope you like it! -- posted by Bec

Nova Scotia Maple Chicken

Sun, 06 Apr 2003 20:00:00 -0400

Caution: Recipe calls for almonds; persons with nuts intolerance should exclude this ingredient entirely from the recipe. Chicken is tender; sauce can be poured over Sweet potato, rice, or orzo accompaniment. Serve with salad and/or other vegetables. Sauce is excellent over sweet potatoe or carrots; however this creates a very high sugar content; not suitable for diabetic diets. Persons with diabetes should not pour this sauce over their vegetables. -- posted by TOOLBELT DIVA

Peanut Butter Banana Break Shake Smoothie

Mon, 14 Apr 2003 20:01:51 -0400

A healthy, filling smoothie/shake that I like to have as an afternoon pick-me up (after school) or one to two hours before I work out. This smoothie is thick, tasty, and very healthy - it has plenty of protein and plenty of flavor! I have also had this as breakfast if I am pressed for time. The color may not be the prettiest, but as far as taste goes it reigns supreme! If you take the incentive to add more strawberries, this will come out a pinker color! -- posted by KRMC

Norwegian Rice

Wed, 11 Jun 2003 20:05:30 -0400

My dad always makes this for the Holidays and we all love it! I have never made it myself for fear of doing something wrong- it may take a few tries to get it perfect (I wonder how long it took my dad...) Use whole milk for this one- It makes the rice nice and thick! Mmmm...I can't wait until the Holidays are here again! -- posted by Bec

Grilled Ground Meat Puffs

There is no flour in this recipe and you can use any ground meat including ham. This is quick and easy. White cream sauce or soup mixed with 3/4 can of milk as a gravy can be served and rice & potatoes. This is a kid pleaser with ketchup, no gravy. -- posted by Montana Heart Song
