Re: Spinoff to my own dinner post - share your easiest recipe here

Here's an easy, and delicious recipe for meatloaf.

1 lb beef
1 whole sleeve of saltines, crushed
big squirt of ketchup
1 small onion, chopped fine
1 egg
coulpe of splashes of milk, I use fat free, so whatever you have is fine
crushed red pepper
garlic salt
salt & pepper
dried parsley
paprika


Mix all ingredients together and either place in loaf pan or shape into loaf. Drizzle more ketchup over the top. Bake at 375* for 45 minutes.

And here's a good one for Cavatelli with broccoli rabe and sausage (you can skip the sausage.)

1 bunch of broccoli rabe, washed and cut into 2in. pieces
1 pound of cavatelli
2 tbsp olive oil
1 pound of sausage (I use whatever kind of have in the house)
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 cup chicken stock/broth
salt & pepper
parsley and parmesan cheese for garnish

1) bring large pot of salted water to a boil and add broccoli rabe, simmer for 5 min. Using a skimmer remove broccoli rabe and set aside. Return water to a boil.
2) Cook cavatelli floowing directions
3) Meanwhile, heat evoo in large skillet over med-high heat. Add sausage and cook through, breaking up sausage with wooden spoon. Add garlic and broccoli rabe and cook for 5 min.
4) Add chicken stock, salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Add pasta, stir in paresley and remove from heat. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over top.

Re: Spinoff to my own dinner post - share your easiest recipe here

Paprika chicken with roasted potatoes and asparagus tips:

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken cut up into 8ths. Skin on or off-whichever you prefer
chicken stock or chicken broth (low salt)
coarse or kosher salt
coarse ground pepper
Paprika
garlic (I used crushed or chopped but you can use fresh cloves)
onion powder
onion flakes
olive oil
lemon
baby yukon gold potatoes

Pre heat oven to 350.

Arrange the chicken in a pan big enough so that you can arrange the potatoes and asapragus around it. I use a disposable lasagna or roasting pan.

Cut potatoes in half. Cut tips off asparagus spears.

Season the chicken on both sides with all spices.

Use same seasonings for the potatoes and aspargus tips. Put the seasonings in a bowl and toss the potatoes and aspargus. Arrange potatoes and asparagus around the chicken in the pan.

Drizzle olive oil over the chicken
Put 1/2 cup of chicken broth in the bottom of the plan.

Right before putting in the oven, sprinkle over the whole pan with more paprika and onion flakes.

40-45 minutes in a 350 oven should do it. Check the dark meat for doneness at around 30 minutes.

Re: Spinoff to my own dinner post - share your easiest recipe here

Chicken Roll-ups - you can really use anything you want, DH likes this:

Thin sliced chicken cutlets seasoned anyway you like.

Mix ricotta cheese and spinach, salt, pepper, garlic

Take a scoop of the mixture and put onto chicken cutlet.

Roll up chicken cutlet

secure with a toothpick

You can either bake them or pan fry them. I usually pan fry them is olive oil

Sometimes I'll cut up some zucchini, carrot sticks and roll those up in the chicken instead of the cheese and spinach.

Side dish:

Garlic and Cheesy roasted asparagus

spread asparagus onto a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. using your hands mix them up a bit to get them good and coated, put under the broiler until nice and tender (I usually do about 10 minutes) just before you take them out, spinkle grated parmesean cheese on top, put back under the broiler just until cheese has melted.

Re: Spinoff to my own dinner post - share your easiest recipe here

Okay I don't really use recipes but I'll try and help you out...here's how I make chili. It makes a lot and it's great reheated!

aprox. 3/4 lb of ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
salt, pepper, cumin
2 cans of kidney beans (16 oz)
1 can of plain tomato sauce (15 oz)
1 (or 2) packets of chili mix powder

Okay super easy!
-Brown the beef with the onions salt and pepper
-Rinse the kidney beans throw in a pot
-Pour in tomato sauce
-Use the empy sauce can to add water until it's above the beans but just right above them (don't want it too watery)
-Throw in the packet of chili powder
-I like to add some salt pepper and cumin to the pot

Simmer on low heat for aprox 25 minutes!

Throw on a piece of american cheese and mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yummy Tilapia

1/4 cup butter, softened
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
tilapia fillets (this is enough for 2 lbs)

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat your oven's broiler. Grease a broiling pan or line pan with aluminum foil.
In a small bowl, mix together the butter, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season with dried basil, pepper, onion powder and parsley. Mix well and set aside.
Arrange fillets in a single layer on the prepared pan. Broil a few inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the fillets over and broil for a couple more minutes. You could also bake instead of broiling. Remove the fillets from the oven and cover them with mixture on the top side. Broil for 2 more minutes or until the topping is browned and fish flakes easily with a fork.

I actually buy the frozen tilapia from Costco. It's individually sealed filets and goes right from freezer to oven, they are great!

Re: Spinoff to my own dinner post - share your easiest recipe here

I decided to make an easier version of chicken parm tonight that also was a bit healthier...

Just took the chicken breasts and put them in the pan, covered in tomato sauce.

cooked until done, and then sprinkled a little bit of parm. cheese on them before I took them out of the pan just so it would melt.

We had it with penne and it was REALLY good. The chicken was so moist and it had all the flavor of chicken parm, but without being breaded and fried.

Next time I might try wilting some fresh spinach into the sauce. Yummo!
