Spaghetti Pie... it tastes better the 2nd day... so make ahead!
Italians are apt not to waste anything, especially not leftover pasta (if there is any!). A dozen eggs and lots of parmesan cheese envelop the spaghetti in this recipe to create a perfect one dish meal. If you don’t have leftover spaghetti, feel free to make up a new batch. We won’t tell. Served warm or at room temperature, spaghetti pie can be a great appetizer or main dish served with a crisp salad.
12 servings
Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 pound spaghetti
salt, for pasta
12 eggs, lightly beaten
1 ½ cups grated parmesan cheese
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, very finely minced
½ cup Italian parsley, chopped
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
Equipment
9” x 12” baking dish, preferably glass€
Preparation
Lightly grease the inside of a 9” x 12” baking dish with the butter. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Prepare the spaghetti according to the package directions and undercook by 2 or 3 minutes. It should be very al dente. Drain and rinse with cool water. Set aside.
Beat the eggs lightly to combine. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, extra virgin olive oil, finely minced garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
[Chef’s Note: Be sure not to add too much salt as the cheese has plenty of salt already.]
Add the egg mixture to the spaghetti and mix until all the spaghetti is well blended with the eggs. Pour into the buttered baking dish and spread the spaghetti mixture evenly in the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until the eggs are completely set. Uncover the spaghetti pie and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top and bake, uncovered, for another 5 minutes or until the mozzarella is melted and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and cool.
Service
Spaghetti pie is best served at room temperature. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If longer storage is required, it can be wrapped in plastic wrap and then in foil and placed in the freezer for up to a month. Thaw and bring back to room temperature before serving.
Variations
Spaghetti pie is one of those delightful recipes that can be creatively adapted to individual tastes. Feel free to add your own special ingredients such as pepperoni, prosciutto, maple ham, sun dried tomatoes, blanched vegetables or other types of grated cheese. You can also substitute whole wheat or spinach spaghetti, or even linguine or fettucine.

Betty Crocker actually has a cook book called Good and Easy cook book. You may want to snoop around at a book store for it. If you can watch some of the food network shows, like Rachel Ray, she has some great ideas and any recipe on those shows can be gotten off line. Check with your local college. Many have adult education courses and there may be one on beginner cooking. Also, many products like Bisquick or canned soup and even boxes of cheese have recipes on them. They pay a lot of money to folks to develop those recipes. They are usually simple and good. My 2 daughters used Bisquick and the recipes on there a lot. And once you start to cook, you will get the hang of it and will want to experiment. There are tons of recipes on line, and great cook books at libraries and even second hand stores carry book, for cheap. Check out Goodwill or Salvation Army stores
Chili
1 lb ground beef
1/2 white onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can black beans, drained
1/2 package chili seasoning mix
--Brown ground beef in pot with onion and garlic. When beef is cooked thorougly add rest of ingredients and stir to combine. Simmer over medium-low heat for at least 15 minutes stirring occasionally. The longer it simmers, the better.
One of my mom's favorite things to do is buy an already cooked rotisserie chicken. You can have that for dinner one night with salad, baked potatoes, bread, etc. The leftovers she shreds and uses within a few days in cooked egg noodles for chicken and noodles.
These potatoes are a great, quick side dish for any sort of meat. Wash and cube 2 potatoes. Place pieces into microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 4 minutes, stir, and microwave for another 3-4 minutes. While microwaving potatoes, heat oil or butter over medium-high heat in a skillet. Add potatoes to skillet straight from microwave and fry until as crispy as you like them. I like them almost entirely brown so I fry them for about 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, and/or paprika.
Chicken Fried Rice
3 chicken breasts (in bite size pieces)
1/4 cup onions (chopped)
1 large carrot (cubed)
1/4 cup green onions (chopped)
4 cups cooked rice
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 1/2 tablespoons butter (softened)
1/2 teaspoon oil
2 1/4 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 eggs
--Heat wok to medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray and scramble the eggs. Once done, chop and set aside. Add oil to wok and sauté chicken, onion, green onion, and carrots until done. Return eggs to wok and mix well. Mix rice with other ingredients. Add sesame seeds, salt, and pepper. Stir in butter and soy sauce. Mix well and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
*I made this without the carrot and with ALOT more soy sauce. Adjust to your taste.
Enjoy!

Do you know any good brunch breakfast recipes... Something simple and fast?
We are having a breakfast brunch for the ladies in our church tomorrow. I just need some kind of simple recipe that looks like I put a lot of thought and effort. Please help. Thank you!Do you know any good brunch breakfast recipes... Something simple and fast?
Sausage balls - just sausage, biscuit mix, and cheese. Mix, roll and bake. It's the easiest thing in the world, and surprisingly good.
Baked French toast casserole - make it tonight, stick it in the oven tomorrow. Serve it with a spoon.
Hash brown casserole. It has a base of shredded potatoes, topped with ham, cheese and eggs. We like to add onions (saute them first), broccoli, green or red peppers, and whatever other veggies or breakfast meats we have on hand.
Mini croissant chicken salad sandwiches. It's amazing what the addition of a ';fancy'; croissant can do for chicken salad. Cut them in half if they're too large.
Someone mentioned a fruit salad - I don't want to steal their idea, but here's a great, easy, FAST version. Drain and mix a can of pineapple tidbits, clementines or mandarin oranges, and sliced peaches (cut them into smaller pieces first). Add 1 small container of vanilla yogurt and a tablespoon or two of instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir until it thickens slightly. If you like, toss in a handful or two of coconut.Do you know any good brunch breakfast recipes... Something simple and fast?
UM I AM 13 BUT I LUV FRENCH TOAST AND all I do is put
the eggs in bowl how many is enough for how many u r making ..

and then u dip the bread in it and then just put it in the pan but put the stove like on 4 or 5 and put butter and when the butter sizzles then dip the bread and then put it in the pan and just let it cook and dont 4 get 2 flip it
Buy some pre cooked pie shells and make a simple quiche, Throw together some eggs, ham, onions, cream, and some flour, salt pepper and bake. Not much mess or time to make and cooks up great. ( let the store bought dough thaw a little and pinch it with your fingers before you cook it and it will look like you make it)
crepes are really good!

Butter a casserole dish then add mixture and pat into pan then add crushed croutons on top and melt the other 1/2 a stick of butter and drizzle over croutons. bake at 350 % til cheese is bubbling and topping is golden brown.

Does anyone have short, simple and fast, easy recipes for Tofu.?
My daughter is a vegetarian so it can have no meat involved. Thanks!Does anyone have short, simple and fast, easy recipes for Tofu.?
Strain it, better if you let it sit and drain a while. I just cut the package and put on the dish rack to drain. Then cut up garlic and grate ginger. Put little extra virgin olive oil in wok (pan) and high heat, when hot add garlic and ginger. Oh, you can put a splash of soy sauce too if you want. Just a little. Subtle flavours. When getting a little brown, throw in blocks of tofu. Use spatula to slice tofu into thick pieces and lay them flat. Let them fry awhile (can put a lid on if you want), then flip them over and that's it. Done. Put it on her rice or veggies or whatever else she's eating. I do this almost every day and it's fast, easy. I have no time for anything fancier as I'm cooking for three and my daughter loves tofu.Does anyone have short, simple and fast, easy recipes for Tofu.?
This recipe is extremely easy and takes about five minutes.
You need:
Firm/extra firm tofu (it doesn't matter how much)
Soy sauce
Sesame oil
Pasta sauce (optional)
What you do is cut up the tofu into sticks about the size of fish sticks. Put them in a baking pan and pour soy sauce all over them. Drizzle some sesame oil over top. Bake them at 350 degrees for about 4 minutes. Eat them warm, or let them cool and dip them in pasta sauce. They make a great grab-and-go lunch!

Hope you enjoy cooking and eating!!
you can quite a few recipes using tofu here http://indorecipe.com
just search for tofu
good luck :)
You can always buy the tofu that is already seasoned. Just toss it into a salad or stir fry. Or you can use regular firm tofu, press it to get all of the excess liquid out then coat it in some Cajun seasoning and blacken it. That is relay good on a Cesar salad, even better if you throw the Cesar salad in a wrap!... If she is a vegan too, you can get eggless cesar dressing.
I love this recipe... it is so easy to make and kids love it. Even my mom, who hates tofu loves it.
Cheesy Pasta Bake
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1 box Mori Nu tofu, extra firm
enough pasta to fill an 8x8 pan (hand full)
8 ounces of your favorite marinara
1/2 block of vegan gourmet mozzarella
spices: parsley, basil, garlic
optional: cayenne
Directions:
Cook the spaghetti halfway. You don't want it to be mushy once you bake it.
While that's cooking, drain the box of tofu and put it into a medium/small bowl. Squish with a fork into small pieces.
Add the parsley, basil and garlic (add more of the spices you like best). I mix in a lot of all three. Blend with your fork but don't squish the tofu into too tiny of pieces.
Then, grate your mozzarella. Use 1/3 to 1/2 of a block of vegan gourmet mozzarella. Put aside.
Drain pasta. Put the pasta into the pan. Add all of the tofu ricotta mix. Mix them together.
Now pour your pasta sauce on top of the pasta/ricotta mixture. Pour a little more sauce than you think, so it doesn't dry out.
Mix all three ingredients well. You can even put some of the extra ricotta on top, if you had any left over.
Once you've mixed the pasta, ricotta and sauce so that it's equally spaced in the pan, simply add the vegan gourmet mozzarella on top. Use as much as you like.
It's important to spray the top of the cheese with your Pam or other oil spray. This makes the cheese on top melt smoothly and have a golden color when it's done.
Bake on high, at least 400 degrees (even up to 500) until it bubbles. Don't be afraid to let it cook until it bubbles and starts turning brown.
Serves: 4
Preparation time: 30 minutes
If your daughter eats cheese then you can use regular cheese and skip the PAM.
I like to add some mushrooms and black olives. Or you could even add some squash or eggplant to it.
Hope you, and your daughter, enjoy this....
Make her a stirfry with vegetables. I love those things.
Strain it, better if you let it sit and drain a while. I just cut the package and put on the dish rack to drain. Then cut up garlic and grate ginger. Put little extra virgin olive oil in wok (pan) and high heat, when hot add garlic and ginger. Oh, you can put a splash of soy sauce too if you want. Just a little. Subtle flavours. When getting a little brown, throw in blocks of tofu. Use spatula to slice tofu into thick pieces and lay them flat. Let them fry awhile (can put a lid on if you want), then flip them over and that's it. Done. Put it on her rice or veggies or whatever else she's eating. I do this almost every day and it's fast, easy. I have no time for anything fancier as I'm cooking for three and my daughter loves tofu.Does anyone have short, simple and fast, easy recipes for Tofu.?
This recipe is extremely easy and takes about five minutes.
You need:
Firm/extra firm tofu (it doesn't matter how much)
Soy sauce
Sesame oil

I have some beef chuck steak and it's too nasty outside to grill it. Anyone have any fast and easy recipes?

Only difference between grilling and broiling is whether the heat is above or below the food.I have some beef chuck steak and it's too nasty outside to grill it. Anyone have any fast and easy recipes?

Serve over noodles/rice %26amp; use soy sauce to compliment the taste...........it is a very yummy dinner........................hope this helped%26amp; enjoy.......I have some beef chuck steak and it's too nasty outside to grill it. Anyone have any fast and easy recipes?
Bring the grill inside
If its too hot there, like it is here, you don't want the oven on either. I would put it in the slow cooker, with onions, and your favorite seasonings, with cut up potatoes, and carrots. A little celery, for taste is also good. Its easy and fast for a day that's too hot to spend time outside or in the kitchen for any long periods of time!! Its also good to throw together before leaving for work in the morning, and then its all done when you get home!!
Cut it into bite-size chunks and stir-fry w/some veggies (use terriyaki or soy sauce when cooking)

Can someone guide me to a fast and healthy recipes site?
I'd like to eat a healthy dinner for the next 60 to lose some weight

You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don't eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you'll need added potassium). Keep your fat percentage high. Adding in green vegetables %26amp; some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
If you starve yourself, your body will freak out and will want to store every ounce in case it doesn't get nourished again. You need to give it adequate nourishment so it doesn't slow your metabolism down to adjust for lower calories.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
High insulin levels unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones %26amp; allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
Reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass will have you in awesome shape in no time. Good luck!Can someone guide me to a fast and healthy recipes site?

I usually hate when people give websites for answers, but here goes:
Try www.kraftfoods.com, go to dinners, chicken. There are a few 15 minute one skillet meals that are good. I recommend cutting the chicken into bite size pieces so it cooks easier.
This is easy and tastes like there's 10 ingredients in it when there is only 3 main ones.
1 cup brown mustard (Gulden's or other similar)
1 cup honey
2 Tbs curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
optional - 1 tsp garlic powder
Mix this all up, pour over any chicken peices, thighs, breasts etc even tastes good with bar-b-qued chicken.
Bake covered in a 350 degree oven till done. 45 min to an hour usually.
When I'm really lazy, I take chicken pieces or even a whole chicken and shake on equal amounts of Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt %26amp; pepper then bake covered if skinless, uncovered if not. It tastes great and any leftovers can be used in salads, sandwiches etc
Mix one can of mushroon/cream of chicken/cream of celery soup and 1/2 can of milk, 1 tbs of Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Pour over chicken pieces, cover with sliced onions and bake in a covered cassorole dish.
the most basic of all chicken recipes
take 3 chicken breasts
place them in a glass pan
season with salt and pepper and a slight bit of poultry seasoning
add a can of cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
place in 350 oven for 30 minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink)
serve with rice or noodles and a veggie(greenbeans would be good)
i like just plain cooked chicken breast served with a side of your choice (noodles and sauce, or some potato thing is good) but this is what i do:
preheat oven to 400
always tenderize your chicken breast by hitting it with a wooden meat tenderizing hammer thing
coat the chicken in mayo (make sure not to touch the utensil to the raw chicken and stick it back in the mayo jar- very unsanitary)
salt and pepper the chicken, and also season with a bit of garlic salt if you like.
the mayo keeps it really moist. then you can eat it like that or cut it up and put it in spaghetti sauce for chicken spaghetti or use it for chicken tacos or chicken salad, but it does taste GREAT alone.

Chicken cutlets, bread them, put in a pan, cover in virgin olive oil sliced green peppers, and bake. Turn once. Add more oil if they seem dry.
Coat whole mushrooms in fish batter and deep fry.
Buy frozen ravioli, boil, drain, and toss with spaghetti sauce and a good quality parmesan cheese. Serve with salad and garlic bread.
My guys love roast beef (cook in water and onion and beer if you like!) and add BISTO to the drippings when cooked to make gravy. Boil taters drain and serve with boiled broccoli with melted velveeta over it and carrots.
Roast pork with applesauce, boil ribs and bbq and baste with bbq sauce. Marinate chicken breast in Italian dressing, bbq. Roast veggies in foil on the bbq with butter and seasonings. Salads of all kinds (keep various dressings/croutons/bacon bits around).
Shishkebob with chicken/onions/mushrooms peppers/bacon...still have lots of summer to go! :~)
For snacks, buy some grated tex mex cheese and sliced olives green and black...keep lots of flour tortillas handy and make grilled cheese and olives...coat with a little olive oil and garlic powder in a pan and flip.
Squish some Philly cream cheese onto a plate, top with salsa, olives and tex mex cheese, nuke for 2 minutes and serve with nacho chips.
Get a can of ham and a package of Philly cream cheese and two tablespoons or more of horseradish, and chopped chives, mix, let chill and serve with Triscuits.
Make or buy Spinach Dip and serve with pumpernickel bread (make a bread bowl and serve for a party).
Make bruschetta, (garlic bread topped with chopped tomatoes garlic/onion/olive oil, parsley/basil/oregano) on crispy bread this time of year is out of this world.
Always keep fresh washed fruits and veggies handy too!
CHICKEN BASIL
Serves 4
4 skinless chicken breasts (of approx. equal size)
4 slices white bread
3 rashers middle bacon
Fresh basil
Pre-heat oven to 180掳c
Cut crusts off bread and blend in a blender to make breadcrumbs. (It is not advised to used packaged breadcrumbs for this recipe as they are too dry) Place in a bowl
Chop the bacon really fine and add to the breadcrumbs. Finely chop the basil and also add to the breadcrumbs. Combine well.
Place chicken breasts in a slightly greased oven dish and top with the mixture.
Place in the oven with a bowl of water underneath the tray of chicken. This will help keep the chicken moist and succulent. (make sure the bowl is ovenproof)
Bake for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
Serve with Potato Bake (see recipe below), steamed snow peas, broccoli and honey sesame carrots.
Steam the snow peas for about 2 minutes and the broccoli for 3 at the most. This will ensure that they stay green and crunchy., retaining their nutrients.
I would recommend a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc with this dish.
POTATO BAKE
5 large potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
1 large onion peeled and thinly sliced into rings
Salt and pepper
Cream
Butter
Sharp cheddar cheese, grated or shredded (depending on what you call it!!!)
Lightly grease the bottom of a medium oven dish. Place a layer of potato in the bottom of the dish. Then sprinkle some of the onion rings over the top of the first layer of potato. Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients have been used finishing with a layer of potato, making sure no onion is visible.
Randomly dollop bits of butter over the surface and drizzle with a little cream. Sprinkle the cheese over the entire surface and bake in a moderately hot oven for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft when tested with a knife.
HONEY SESAME CARROTS
Baby or Dutch carrots peeled and cut julienne style (matchsticks in laymen鈥檚!!)
Honey
Sesame seeds
Steam carrots for about 2 minutes then toss in a warm pan with a little olive oil. Add the honey and allow this to melt and heat through. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Serve over the drained pasta and sprinkle with fresh shaved parmesan cheese. Fresh crusty bread would be a lovely addition to this meal also.
I would suggest a Semillon or a moselle with this dish. If you want a nice dry white would also be good.

Remove from the heat and add the parsley.
Serve in warm bowls and top with fresh grated or shaved parmesan cheese. Try some fresh crusty Vienna bread with this soup.
The good thing about this soup is that is like a meal in itself. It is also a great winter warmer and quite delicious.
Rosemary and Parmesan Crusted Lamb Racks
Recipe serves: 4
4 by 4 cutlets of Frenched lamb racks (trimmed of fat cap, and cleaned of excess fat)
2 bunches fresh rosemary (strip leaves off and chop finely)
2-3 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
3 tbsps fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 cups bread crumbs
2 cups plain flour
2 eggs
Milk
Extra virgin olive oil
Butter
Sea salt flakes
Black peppercorn mill
Preheat oven to 180 degrees (350 Fahrenheit).
Remove the lamb from the fridge about an hour prior to cooking, this will ensure even cooking)
Place eggs into a mixing bowl and beat slightly, add a good splash of milk and a couple tbsps of olive oil and mix well.
Place bread crumbs in another bowl, add the parmesan cheese, garlic, rosemary, season liberally with salt and pepper and mix ingredients together.
Take racks one at a time and roll the loin part in the flour, being careful only to get flour on the meat and not on the bones.
Take the floured lamb racks and dip the floured part in the egg wash, allow excess to drip off for a couple of seconds and place the rack in the bread crumb bowl.
Gently cover the wet part of the racks with the crumbs and gently push on the crumbs ensuring that the entire loin is crumbed.
Once all the racks have been crumbed, place a pan on medium heat, add enough oil to cover the base of the pan and add a couple tbsps of butter.
Lightly brown the racks on all sides and set on oven tray (make sure the racks are standing up straight, you may have to prop them against the edge of the baking tray).
Depending on the size of the racks and degree of cooking bake for the following time.
Rare: 12 minutes
Med rare: 16 minutes
Medium: 18 minutes
Well done: 23 minutes
Let the racks rest outside of the oven for about 5-8 minutes before serving. Racks can be either cut into cutlets for serving or left as a whole rack.
Great with a rich red wine jus, and even better with a glass of Shiraz (Syrah) on the side.
Hope this helps and have a great day night!!!

2 chopped green onions
1/4 cup of slivered almonds

Have a nice dinner.
Try some bratz dolls with lego sprinkled with a little dash of action men
Cover a pan of cut up chicken with a couple jars of your favorite salsa, and bake at 325 for 2-3 hours. Serve with rice and beans and a veggie.
Grill a bunch of brats, after simmering them with beer and onions, serve with sauerkraut, corn on the cob and watermelon slices.

Here's a good one, we call it Sunday Chicken.
In a 9x12 baking pan put stove top stuffing ingredients, (don't cook it first) take boneless chicken breast and place them on top of the stuffing mix.

Chicken cutlets, bread them, put in a pan, cover in virgin olive oil sliced green peppers, and bake. Turn once. Add more oil if they seem dry.
Coat whole mushrooms in fish batter and deep fry.
Buy frozen ravioli, boil, drain, and toss with spaghetti sauce and a good quality parmesan cheese. Serve with salad and garlic bread.
My guys love roast beef (cook in water and onion and beer if you like!) and add BISTO to the drippings when cooked to make gravy. Boil taters drain and serve with boiled broccoli with melted velveeta over it and carrots.
Roast pork with applesauce, boil ribs and bbq and baste with bbq sauce. Marinate chicken breast in Italian dressing, bbq. Roast veggies in foil on the bbq with butter and seasonings. Salads of all kinds (keep various dressings/croutons/bacon bits around).
Shishkebob with chicken/onions/mushrooms peppers/bacon...still have lots of summer to go! :~)
For snacks, buy some grated tex mex cheese and sliced olives green and black...keep lots of flour tortillas handy and make grilled cheese and olives...coat with a little olive oil and garlic powder in a pan and flip.
Squish some Philly cream cheese onto a plate, top with salsa, olives and tex mex cheese, nuke for 2 minutes and serve with nacho chips.
Get a can of ham and a package of Philly cream cheese and two tablespoons or more of horseradish, and chopped chives, mix, let chill and serve with Triscuits.
Make or buy Spinach Dip and serve with pumpernickel bread (make a bread bowl and serve for a party).
Make bruschetta, (garlic bread topped with chopped tomatoes garlic/onion/olive oil, parsley/basil/oregano) on crispy bread this time of year is out of this world.
Always keep fresh washed fruits and veggies handy too!
CHICKEN BASIL
Serves 4
4 skinless chicken breasts (of approx. equal size)
4 slices white bread
3 rashers middle bacon
Fresh basil
Pre-heat oven to 180掳c
Cut crusts off bread and blend in a blender to make breadcrumbs. (It is not advised to used packaged breadcrumbs for this recipe as they are too dry) Place in a bowl
Chop the bacon really fine and add to the breadcrumbs. Finely chop the basil and also add to the breadcrumbs. Combine well.
Place chicken breasts in a slightly greased oven dish and top with the mixture.
Place in the oven with a bowl of water underneath the tray of chicken. This will help keep the chicken moist and succulent. (make sure the bowl is ovenproof)
Bake for about 20-30 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
Serve with Potato Bake (see recipe below), steamed snow peas, broccoli and honey sesame carrots.
Steam the snow peas for about 2 minutes and the broccoli for 3 at the most. This will ensure that they stay green and crunchy., retaining their nutrients.
I would recommend a nice crisp Sauvignon Blanc with this dish.
POTATO BAKE
5 large potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
1 large onion peeled and thinly sliced into rings
Salt and pepper
Cream

Season with a little salt and pepper. Repeat these layers until all the ingredients have been used finishing with a layer of potato, making sure no onion is visible.
Randomly dollop bits of butter over the surface and drizzle with a little cream. Sprinkle the cheese over the entire surface and bake in a moderately hot oven for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are soft when tested with a knife.
HONEY SESAME CARROTS
Baby or Dutch carrots peeled and cut julienne style (matchsticks in laymen鈥檚!!)
Honey
Sesame seeds
Steam carrots for about 2 minutes then toss in a warm pan with a little olive oil. Add the honey and allow this to melt and heat through. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds and serve immediately.

Rosemary and Parmesan Crusted Lamb Racks
Recipe serves: 4
4 by 4 cutlets of Frenched lamb racks (trimmed of fat cap, and cleaned of excess fat)
2 bunches fresh rosemary (strip leaves off and chop finely)
2-3 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
3 tbsps fresh grated parmesan cheese
2 cups bread crumbs
2 cups plain flour
2 eggs
Milk
Extra virgin olive oil
Butter
Sea salt flakes
Black peppercorn mill
Preheat oven to 180 degrees (350 Fahrenheit).
Remove the lamb from the fridge about an hour prior to cooking, this will ensure even cooking)
Place eggs into a mixing bowl and beat slightly, add a good splash of milk and a couple tbsps of olive oil and mix well.
Place bread crumbs in another bowl, add the parmesan cheese, garlic, rosemary, season liberally with salt and pepper and mix ingredients together.
Take racks one at a time and roll the loin part in the flour, being careful only to get flour on the meat and not on the bones.
Take the floured lamb racks and dip the floured part in the egg wash, allow excess to drip off for a couple of seconds and place the rack in the bread crumb bowl.
Gently cover the wet part of the racks with the crumbs and gently push on the crumbs ensuring that the entire loin is crumbed.
Once all the racks have been crumbed, place a pan on medium heat, add enough oil to cover the base of the pan and add a couple tbsps of butter.
Lightly brown the racks on all sides and set on oven tray (make sure the racks are standing up straight, you may have to prop them against the edge of the baking tray).
Depending on the size of the racks and degree of cooking bake for the following time.
Rare: 12 minutes
Med rare: 16 minutes
Medium: 18 minutes
Well done: 23 minutes
Let the racks rest outside of the oven for about 5-8 minutes before serving. Racks can be either cut into cutlets for serving or left as a whole rack.
Great with a rich red wine jus, and even better with a glass of Shiraz (Syrah) on the side.
Hope this helps and have a great day night!!!

You cannot rush good turkey soup. Put all the bones and whatever meat is clinging to it in a large pot. Throw in a couple of celerys and an onion. Simmer for about 5-6 hours for the best broth. Drain all this through a colander into a large bowl. In the same pot, melt butter and a little olive oil. Saute onions and celery (diced) until tender. Pour broth back in and add sliced carrots. I put in leftover turnips, mashed potatoes, gravy, whatever is hanging around and simmer until the carrots are tender. Add 1 cup white rice and keep simmering for about 15 minutes. Add pieces of cooked turkey last and salt to taste.Got any good recipes(easy%26amp; fast) for turkey soup?
TURKEY SOUP
2 large turkey legs or carcass
1 lb turkey meat (2 if using carcass)
1 medium onion (diced)
1/2 bunch of celery (diced)
2 cans of chopped tomato
1/2 pound of green beens cut in half
1/4 pound green peas (preferably fresh)
1 cup of chopped bell pepper
1 medium parsnip
4 medium carrots
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup white wine (cheaper the better)
1/2 tbl spoon black pepper
2 bay leaves
1/4 cup barley
Wrap the turkey legs in foil and cook in the oven on 200 for about 1 1/2 hours. Let cool.
Pour the liquid from the turkey leg into a large pot. Seperate the meat from the legs and put the meat aside. Add the skin and bone to the pot. Fill the pot about 3/4 full with water, and boil for about an hour. Remove the bone and skin (I use a large pasta pot with a removable strainer in it, so you just lift out the strainer, dump it in the bin, and you're done).
Add:
Green beans
Bay leaf
Bell peppers
Peas
Barley
Turkey meat (I quick fry turkey breast in a lightly oiled pan, and add it).
Let simmer for about 1 1/2 hour stirring occasionally. Start tasting. When you are happy with the consistency of the broth turn of the heat. The pot should be between 2/3 and 3/4 full. Let sit for at least 2 hours. Stir occasionally.
If you are going to err, err on the side of less broth. It may look like there isn't much, but there is a lot more than you would think. This is meant to be a very hearty soup.
Slowly reheat when you are ready to eat and stir regularly. This will feed at least 8 very hungry people.
It goes well with bread and butter for dunking.
TURKEY SOUP
Put turkey bones (with meat scraps) from 1 turkey into soup pot. Fill with water. Simmer for 2 to 3 hours to remove meat from bones. Strain out bones and fatty meat. Cut any turkey meat you like into bite-size pieces.

In separate pans, boil: Potatoes %26amp; carrots, peeled %26amp; diced (about 3 c. cooked)
Add egg noodles, potatoes and carrots to seasoned broth. Heat through and serve.
Pearled barley may be added or substituted for noodles.

2 cups of shredded turkey
1 cup of cooked brown rice(i use uncle ben's instant brown rice)
2 tsp of sea salt
1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
Combine the first 7 ingredients in a large pot including the salt %26amp; pepper, bring to a simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes until all veggies are tender. Add turkey and rice, continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Recipes that are fast, cheap and filling please?
i am having house guests for the whole summer and need recipes, specific recipes not a website please, of fast, easy and filling recipes for about 6 people. i am looking online but would like the best ones from you yahooers. thanksRecipes that are fast, cheap and filling please?
Pasta meals are cheap..even after adding things like cheese, since meat is the most costly part of the meal. When I'm trying to stretch my meat out, I'll cook recipes that I can cut my meat into small pieces, so that way I don't need as much. For example, adding sausage to rigatoni, but slicing it first.
Here are a couple of other recipes:
***Carbonara Deep Dish Pizza***
Salt
2 packages fresh linguini, 9 ounces each
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound bacon, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, depending on how spicy you like it
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of handfuls
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cream
2 cups ricotta cheese
A handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat water for pasta in large pot, salt it and add pasta for 3 minutes.
While water boils, heat a large skillet with extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add bacon and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes.
Drain pasta, add to pan and toss. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with cream and pour over top of pasta. Let eggs begin to set up, about 1 minute, and pat pasta into even layer to make the pizza pie crust. Place in oven and cook 5 to 6 minutes.
Mix together the ricotta and parsley. Remove pie from oven and smooth the ricotta over the top. Scatter with the provolone or mozzarella and return to oven. Bake 8 minutes more until cheese is melted and golden at edges. Cut into wedges and serve.
***No-Pain Lo Mein***
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan in a slow drizzle) vegetable or wok oil
1 cup (2 handfuls) snow peas, halved on a diagonal
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into match stick size pieces
1/2 pound assorted mushrooms (shiitake, straw, enoki, or oyster), coarsely chopped, if necessary
4 scallions, thinly sliced on a diagonal
2 cups (about 4 handfuls) fresh bean spouts
2 inches fresh ginger root, minced or grated with hand grater
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound lo mein noodles or thin spaghetti, cooked to al dente and drained well
1/2 cup aged tamari soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, several drops
Heat a wok-shaped skillet or large non-stick skillet over high heat. When pan is very hot, add oil, (it will smoke a bit) then, immediately add the snow peas, pepper, mushrooms, scallions, and bean sprouts. Stir fry for 1 minute to flavor the oil, then add the ginger and garlic, and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add the cooked noodles and toss with to combine. Add the soy sauce and toss the ingredients to coat noodles evenly with sauce. Transfer the lo mein to a serving platter and garnish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil
TIP: Cooked shredded pork, chicken, or small de-veined shrimp may be added to this dish in any combination.Recipes that are fast, cheap and filling please?
Minced Beef: Chilli (serve with rice or in wraps)
Bolognese (pasta and garlic bread)
Big Cottage Pie - add a dash of tabasco
sauce to any of these dishes to give
them a kick. Lots of creamy mashed
potato. Serve with Veggies of your choice.
I find the Chicken Tonight sauces are quite tasty (they are quick and you only have to add potatoes, pasta or rice to any of these to make a nice supper.
Keep in lots of salad, veggies (potatoes esp. cos you can
bake, chip, roast mash etc) and fruit.
Why not ask your house guests if they have any favorite recipes that they can give you beforehand , that will help a little.
Don't be afraid to buy shop bought pastry either. Cut pastry the size of a side plate fill with minced beef or chicken (in a sauce) turn over and seal to make a cornish pasty. This can be done for vegetarians as well.
Have a lovely time and don't work too hard!

Try lasagne. If i cook for friends, then i use a roasting tin size.
You should get Rachal Ray's Book ';Express Lane Meals'; (30 minute Meals).
I have plenty of recipes to give but I also have a suggestion, Why not once a week while your have guests you do a Huge roast of pork, beef, turkey or a whole chicken in the slow cooker. This if you do use it can be used for several meals if its big enough. Or if you dont have a slow cooker slow cook in the oven at 250 starting in the am at 8 til say ready to carve at 5. But let rest for 20 mins before carving any meat so the juices resettle back in the meat and make it super tender and juicy.
Now for the recipes:
3 -4 cans tuna in olive oil drained
1 bag egg noodles
2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
1 bag frozen bag of peas, carrots or a mixxed veggieTHAWED

Combine the tuna, soup, and thawed drained veggies, til creamy, add half the water to thin and add more if you like it thinner. Add to greased casserol pan bake at 375 til bubble and glolden brown on top checking at 30 mins and top with cheddar cheese for a cheesy crust. Recipe from a good friend of the family.

Here's a few...
Budget Minded Recipes
COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe)
(My favorite: Wings or Ribs)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc.)
Put chicken in a non-stick pan.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking...to prevent from
sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce. Yummmm!
You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken....wings...would be ideal...add some hot
sauce....presto ';Hot
Wings';!
I have used Ribs, just as good.
I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'....was equally
as good...served over rice.
I found another variation.....omit the catsup and add a small
jar of Salsa (any variety).
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup....not).
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be
messed up....wouldn't you??
Well...while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa.....I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband...(just proves...I can't do two things at once)....mixed
Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out
the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might
be a little sweeter than some of you like.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.
Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.
Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.
How about using the little cocktail weiners/sausages?

';Canned Soup';.
(My Way!)

Cook on stove top or Crock pot.
Enjoy!
Canned:
corn
peas
carrots
gr.beans (any variety)

';Corny Beanie Weenies.';
(from a country preacher in Mississippi鈥ife %26amp; 2 teenage sons)
Mix one can of good baked beans
We use a good sized can of beans (14-16 ounces, I think) and
get a kind that we like (maybe with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).
There are several kinds of good baked beans.
and a package of Oscar Meier Weiners (all sliced up).
with a can of whole kernel corn (drained)
Any way, heat up these three ingredients, and serve with brown bread
(maybe toasted ?) and a glass of milk.
It doesn't get any easier than this, and is suprisingly good!
P.S鈥?.Might put ingredients in a casserole dish and top with corn muffin mix.
POT ROAST
Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix
1 cup water
Put beef in pot.
Mix together all the dry mixes鈥?then add water 鈥our over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours.
Until meat is tender.
The first time I mad it I didn鈥檛 have the Italian Dressing mix鈥?so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix鈥?I have to say I liked that better.
If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix鈥?to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add
potatoes and carrots鈥ut never got around to it.

Pasta meals are cheap..even after adding things like cheese, since meat is the most costly part of the meal. When I'm trying to stretch my meat out, I'll cook recipes that I can cut my meat into small pieces, so that way I don't need as much. For example, adding sausage to rigatoni, but slicing it first.
Here are a couple of other recipes:
***Carbonara Deep Dish Pizza***
Salt
2 packages fresh linguini, 9 ounces each
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound bacon, chopped
3 to 4 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, depending on how spicy you like it
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, a couple of handfuls
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cream
2 cups ricotta cheese
A handful fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 cup shredded provolone or mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat water for pasta in large pot, salt it and add pasta for 3 minutes.
While water boils, heat a large skillet with extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add bacon and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes.
Drain pasta, add to pan and toss. Stir in Parmigiano-Reggiano and season with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with cream and pour over top of pasta. Let eggs begin to set up, about 1 minute, and pat pasta into even layer to make the pizza pie crust. Place in oven and cook 5 to 6 minutes.
Mix together the ricotta and parsley. Remove pie from oven and smooth the ricotta over the top. Scatter with the provolone or mozzarella and return to oven. Bake 8 minutes more until cheese is melted and golden at edges. Cut into wedges and serve.

Salsa %26amp; Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out
the catsup) %26amp; Cola........still turned out really tasty (to me)...might
be a little sweeter than some of you like.
I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but...I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for ';HOT';) Buffalo Wings packet...(the kind you get to bake in the oven).....I thought it was really good.....(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken).
Finally....!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken......that's good , too.
Another (bright)idea.....I thought of trying......replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce...and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp.....!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce......eh...wasn't all that
great...was OK...probably won't be fixing it again.
Also tried beef stew cuts......that was pretty good.....I can see
myself making this again.
Served both over rice.....think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles.
How about using the little cocktail weiners/sausages?

';Corny Beanie Weenies.';
(from a country preacher in Mississippi鈥ife %26amp; 2 teenage sons)
Mix one can of good baked beans
We use a good sized can of beans (14-16 ounces, I think) and
get a kind that we like (maybe with brown sugar, onion, and bacon).
There are several kinds of good baked beans.
and a package of Oscar Meier Weiners (all sliced up).
with a can of whole kernel corn (drained)
Any way, heat up these three ingredients, and serve with brown bread
(maybe toasted ?) and a glass of milk.
It doesn't get any easier than this, and is suprisingly good!
P.S鈥?.Might put ingredients in a casserole dish and top with corn muffin mix.
POT ROAST
Your choice of beef (to fit crock-pot)
1 pkg. dry Ranch dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg. dry Brown Gravy mix
1 cup water
Put beef in pot.
Mix together all the dry mixes鈥?then add water 鈥our over meat and cover %26amp; cook on high 4-6 hours.
Until meat is tender.
The first time I mad it I didn鈥檛 have the Italian Dressing mix鈥?so I added a pkg. of Onion Soup Mix鈥?I have to say I liked that better.
If you use more water you might want to add more Brown Gravy mix鈥?to make a thicker sauce. Was gonna add
potatoes and carrots鈥ut never got around to it.

Creamy Cheesy Sauce
2 Roasted Chickens

1 cup sour cream

You want crisp, yet tender broccoli. Cooking
to long with make mushy broccoli. Drain in
colander, run cold water over broccoli for

soup, sour cream, and butter. Stir occasionally.
When mixture is warm, add the cheese. Stir
until cheese is melted. Add garlic powder
