Pioneer Hearty Beef Stew

Hello everyone, another hit.  I have to put a smiley face on this one too.  This is made with gravy mix, beef tips, mixed veggies and a can of tomatoes.  I didn't have to worry about the sauce not being gravy like, which my hubby likes that.  Instead of rice I mixed tri-colored noodles in before serving.  Thanks for reading, God Bless.

Glazed Oriental Chicken

Hello everyone.    
    
     This dish was a hit.  If you like Chinese food, cashews and Cole slaw then this one would be a great one for you to try.  My daughter would like this with mushrooms and no cashews, my son liked it but soon grew tired of; I guess the taste I'm not sure...he is nine...lol.  My husband said that is was missing some sort of spice.  I think it was good just like it is although adding mushrooms would be what I will do next time.  I have only two more dinner recipes to try out of my first composition book then I move on to desserts.  I can't wait. Thanks for reading; God Bless.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hello.  One of my favorite shows is the Cake Boss.  I watched an episode where Buddy was making chocolate boxes for valentine's day.  I decided that I would give this a try.  I did it.  The boxes turned out nice, the chocolate strawberries that I had never tried before are so yummy.  So here is the pics of one of my chocolate boxes. 

Shrimp Tacos, beef chili stew, lemon pepper shrimp

     Hello everyone, I got a lot of catch up to do.  Not that long ago we tried a recipe for shrimp tacos.  I was surprised that everyone liked it.  So this one got a smiley face in the composition book.

We also tried a different twist on chili.  This one was beef chili stew with potatoes and bacon.  This too was another one that got a smiley face.

Lemon pepper shrimp was another one that got a smiley face.  The only thing with this recipe is that we all agreed it needed some sort of sauce to go along with it.

Chicken Tacos

     Hello again,  This was another recipe that everyone enjoyed.  So it gets a smiley face too, yay! 
     This taco could also be used for a burrito.  It had black beans, rice, lettuce, cheese and tomatoes. I made a few changes to this recipe; I added the cheese in with the chicken while cooking and let it melt.  Instead of only adding 3 tablespoons of taco seasoning I added the whole pouch, which I think brought out more of the taco flavor. Thanks for reading, God bless.

Last Night: Chicken Parmesan

     Hello everyone.  This Chicken Parmesan dinner was quick and easy.  It also got a smiley face to go in the book.  I took chicken breasts and cut them in half for portion size pieces.  I took an egg and beat it slightly like it said in the recipe and coated it with bread crumbs.  Fried it in the pan on both sides for 3 minutes per side then placed it in the oven topped with sauce and cheese, boiled pasta and that was pretty much it.  Thanks for reading, God bless.

Stuffed Tomatoes

Hello everyone.  Who it sure has been a busy and full of blessings week.  My son and one of my nieces were baptized today.  What a great start to the week to come.
     Ok so Thursday night we had Stuffed Tomatoes, it wasn't a big hit with the kids.  As for my husband and I think it was good maybe add a little more seasonings.  My daughter did like to help scoop the tomato guts out.  We saved those, but they didn't last too long.  My son ate them with his dinner...lol.  I placed the tomatoes in a muffin pan to cook.  They held their shape very well.
     Last night I made a Turkey swiss patty melt.  It was good, everyone agreed that it would get a smiley face.  I don't have a picture for this, but we agreed that it needed mushrooms. 
     Here is the picture of the Stuffed Tomatoes:
