I've been REALLY bad at updating this blog! Actually, I've been bad at updating any blog of mine!! I've decided I'm a better cook without a recipe and so I tend to throw things in and call it dinner! The other night I was throwing in and it turned out pretty darn good!! So, here's what I did:<br />1 can cream of chicken soup<br />some salsa-I'd say maybe 1 cup<br />peppers- I did red, orange and yellow<br />onions<br />chicken<br />I cooked it in my crockpot for about 4 hours and served it over rice.

But I got the start of an idea from her.<br />1. Boil noodles 2. Fry up some chicken with salt and pepper (I like to add water to keep it moist) 3. Cut up romain lettuce and tomatoes 4. Mix italian dressing and cottage cheese 5. Mix it ALL together and you have dinner. It was really good. I didn't measure anything so you get to do it by taste!!

I love fish but I hate the fish flavor that comes along with fish! But here is my <span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0);">Salmon Recipe</span>!!!!! A trick with any fish to take away the fish flavor is to cut off the scales from the fish. You need a filet knife to make it easiest! <br />Cover your baking sheet with tin foil (I do this every time I use my baking sheets, it helps with clean up and also helps them last longer). Then put more tin foil down to cook your salmon in it. Sprinkle seasoning salt, salt and pepper on the tin foil. Place your salmon (thawed and de-scaled) on top. Cut small slits in salmon to help with flavoring. Season. Put enough butter, but not too much to make greasy, on top of salmon. Then cut up zucchini and tomatoes and put on top of salmon. Season with your seasoning salt, salt and pepper through out the whole meal. Fold up just like a tin foil dinner making sure all steam will stay in. Preheat oven to 350 and cook. For 2 people it usually takes 30 minutes. To make enough for a family it takes a little over an hour. I serve it with rice and it is so good!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7506353293038891853.post-87915225354166722862008-03-11T20:27:00.000-07:002008-03-11T20:35:39.653-07:00Fast and EasyA few things I've discovered and tried!!!!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">1</span></span>-If you need a meat dish to go along with your sides. Get your chicken (I love tyson chicken tenders) and dip in olive oil and then in crushed Ritz crackers and bake!! It's so yummy and keeps it so moist!!<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >2</span>-Usually by the meat there is this amazing stuff called Lloyds. I love the barbeque shredded pork. If you put it in a tortilla with refried beans, cheese, salsa, olives, lettuce, and whatever you like!! It's fast and so so good!!!<br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" >3</span>-Tin foil dinners!!
