Recipe Swap
Okay - recently I sent an e-mail to swap some of your favorite recipes.... I want to do it on here too - give me your favorite, easy, non expensive, not hard to find ingredients for either dinner, appetizers or desserts!!!
I need some new ideas - do you?
Here is mine:
Onion Onion Chicken (delicious in your mouth)
2 chicken breasts
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can chicken broth
garlic salt to taste
1 onion (sliced to sautee)
1/2 stick of butter (or oil)
1/2 can French Friend Onions
1 cup uncooked rice (2 cups water)
1 can of corn
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts in pan, dump cream of mushroom soup and chicken broth over the top and sprinkle garlic to your liking. Bake for 1 hour. Meanwhile (about 20 minutes before chicken is done) sautee onions in butter or oil over medium heat and make rice. Start corn about 10 minutes before chicken is done. Also 10 minutes before chicken is done dump french friend onions over top and continue baking. Serves 2 big meals. Most delicious when each bite has a little (or a lot) of everything on it. I guarantee you you will like it - well maybe not you veggies out there - but you can probably use a Portabela (spelling?) mushroom in place of chicken.
Enjoy!
Now get to posting your delicious goodnesses!
1 can of corn

You guys suck.... I will not allow these to count.... you had better come up with something better or I will haunt you down.... watch out....
I'll send you a REAL one when I get home, Emily.
Lazy, good fer nothin bums...
Way to go Kara.
Keep 'em coming.
emily, please don't haunt me down. i don't like ghosts.
More the reason to haunt.....
Oooooooh...(that was me haunting)
You guys all suck.... no one left a true recipe - apparently I am the only one that cooks in this group....
I cook! I was going to respond to your email on this subject but the instructions were so convoluted I couldn't figure them out. So I gave up.
The only problem is that I either cook from a long detailed recipe that is 2+ pages, or I just wing it with whatever ingredients I have on hand.
An example of winging it...
You find yourself staring blankly at the shelves in your fridge for something to go with the chicken you are cooking. So you begin to pull out all the half empty containers.
You find rice from last nights chinese takeout, heavy cream, sour cream, reggiano cheese that smelled so stinky and delicious you had to buy it the last time you were at New Seasons, and maybe some more cheese.
You look at your counter full of ingredients and this is what happens...
1. Place the rice in a small sauce pan with a little water, put a lid on it, and turn it on low for around eight minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Take out a small baking dish and place your now re-steamed rice into it.
3. Place your cream, sour cream, and cheeses into the now empty sauce pan and heat on low until the cheese has melted and it has thickened up a bit.
4. Pour the mixture over the rice and stir it all together.
5. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes or so.
You now have a delicious cheesy rice dish that melts is your mouth. All thanks so half empty containers of stuff that would have gone bad.
That's exactly how I cook too.... very random but always delicious - Jon always makes me write down what I do so that we can recreate it - hence the Onion onion chicken and many other dishes I've created!
Oh and Thank you Amy for being a GOOD person and actually giving me something I can make... I mean I suppose Kara's might count - but hardly and Dad - you just suck - how long do I cook the turkey? What goes with it.... you disappoint me! :)
Peanut Butter Cookies:
1 Cup of Peanut Butter (Chunky or not)
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Egg
Mix well and bake. (not sure how hot or how long)
Makes a Dozen or less depending on how much makes it to the oven.
hahahaha
Jon- What in the world!!!! That's not a cookie, that's an odd snack. How does that even work, no flour, no baking soda, no butter? Okay enough laughing.
Emily, I have a good one, sounds kinda weird but I love it
Quick Chicken Pot Pie
Dough enough for double crust pie crust (home made is better, but if not, buy the roll out kind)
2 cans of chicken drained (like tuna, I buy them at Costco) Or 2 boiled chicken breasts, shredded
2 cans cream of potato soup
1 can veg-all
1 tsp thyme (more to taste)
1 tsp pepper (more to taste)
splash milk
Put 1 pie crust in glass or ceramic pie dish.
In a large bowl use a fork and shred chicken, stir in remaining ingredients, put in pie shell, top with remaining crust. Use a fork to make holes in the crust. Bake for about 30 min at 375, until crust looks done.
It's pretty good - even Amy eats it
Seriously Jon! That's not peanut butter cookies! You would have been closer with a jar of peanut butter and some store bought cookies for dipping.
Too funny. Maggie read that to me last night laughing so hard she was tearing up. Hilarious!
And this is why Jon doesn't cook, bake or even really look at the oven... he's pretty useless... I mean he can make a mean pot of top ramen or mac and cheese - but even that he reads the directions like it's rocket science.... just best for me to do it.....
Meatless Meatloaf.
Ok, that may sound disgusting, but if any of you have ever tried this masterpiece of mine, you will know it is DELICIOUS. I don't care if youI don't have a recipe in front of me, but you kinda need to wing meatloaf anyways. Use a food processor, too.
In varying amounts, and varying ingredients, I take Gardenburger Original patties, grind them up, put them in a casserole dish, add one egg, then grind up as many as possible of the following: Crackers, Zucchini, Carrots, Mushrooms, Onions (I use a LOT of onion, and this one is NOT optional. Yum.), Squash, and what-have-you. Mix it all up. Season with garlic, salt, pepper, Worcestershire, etc. Put in casserole dish, top with thick layer of extra sharp cheddar, and bake. I don't remember the time or temperature. But it doesn't really matter cause I'm the only one who will likely make it anyways. But if you don't, man alive.... You're missing out. Its way better than any meatloaf or casserole you will ever eat. I guar-un-tee.
Oops! Edit: I don't care if you don't like vegetarian food, you'll like this.
Fro - that sounds amazing... we might just have to get on that!!!
ok so about jons cookies.. i have had them. there not that bad! : )
You've had Jon's cookies.... I didn't know he had ever made them for anyone but himself.... I don't think I've even had them before.
