Enchilada Pie

This is one of those simple, inexpensive recipes that you can put together in just a few minutes, especially if I’m using leftover rice.  It’s also one of my food storage recipes.  It’s certainly nothing fancy, but my children will eat it.  I simplified it recently, and am happy with the results. Ingredients: 1 can [...]

Green Enchilada Sauce

A can of store-bought enchilada sauce is convenient, but in my opinion it can be a little pricey unless it’s on a good sale.  This recipe is inexpensive, fast and simple, and makes more than 2 cups.  The only ingredient you need to remember is a can of diced green chiles; everything else is a [...]

Sausage Bean Burritos

A nice twist on a traditional burrito, my family enjoys this dish. In skillet, brown 1 pound sausage and 1/3 cup diced onion.  Drain sausage. Add 2 cups cooked rice, 2 cups salsa and 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained. Stir together and cook for 1-2 minutes.  You can also add some sliced olives [...]

Ingredients: chicken tenders 1 1/2 cups cornmeal 1 envelope ranch dressing mix Begin by mixing the cornmeal and ranch dressing mix in a small bowl. Coat each chicken tender with the cornmeal mixture. Spray 9 x 13 [...]

Rice and Bean Wraps

This recipe is one of the all-time easiest I’ve made.  It’s also inexpensive, fast, meatless and people really like it.  Oh, and it only requires one pan (easy cleanup!).  It’s one of those recipes that prompt people to tell me, years after sharing it, how often their family eats it. Ingredients: 1 box spanish rice [...]

Black Bean Casserole

This has been a favorite family standby for years.  It’s healthy, meatless, and inexpensive. Chop 1/2 cup onion and one green pepper, and saute in 1 tsp oil until crisp-tender. Rinse and drain two cans of black beans. When the veggies are tender and the onion is translucent and just beginning to brown, add one [...]

Tomato Topped Chicken

There’s nothing like a dish that looks beautiful and yet is simple to prepare.  This chicken has been a go-to recipe for me over and over again.  It also tastes delicious. I like to use chicken tenders in this dish.  They allow for smaller servings (ideal for my children), they cook faster, and they don’t [...]

Chicken Rollups

My mom used to make these sometimes when I was growing up. One thing I love about this recipe is that it requires only 3 ingredients; five if you wish to add salt and pepper.  The list consists of:  chicken tenders, sour cream and Corn Flakes Crumbs. I guess it’s not much of a recipe [...]

Soup for Lunch

Picture this:  my 3 little ones have eaten and gone upstairs to play.  The baby is asleep and my husband is working from home.  I like moments like this, when there is a brief pause in the hubbub of a busy day.  The sun is shining, but it’s cold and windy outside. On most days, [...]

Chicken Nuggets

This recipe brings a flood of memories from my childhood. My whole family loves these chicken nuggets. I remember how my Mom had to guard them while they cooked so there would be enough for the meal itself.  We all liked to sample while they cooked. They’re not difficult to make, but you need to [...]
