Beef Stroganoff

I guess I'm just going to post things that I make weather they have a recipe or not because most of them do not!! For the beef stroganoff boil noodles or you can put it over rice. I don't like hamburger very well so I don't put a lot in my meals. I know, poor Mike!!
1/2 lb. hamburger-brown, rinse and put back in pan. Then add
diced onions-cook till you like them, Then add
1 can cream of mushroom soup (don't try any other soup, it doesn't taste good!! I tried chicken and asparagas- not good!!
Sour cream- as much as you like
garlic salt
Cook it till it's warm and you're done! It's easy to make and easy to clean up too!!

one for the pot

The crock pot that is!!! 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:
1 can cream of chicken soup
some salsa-I'd say maybe 1 cup
peppers- I did red, orange and yellow
onions
chicken
I cooked it in my crockpot for about 4 hours and served it over rice. It had really good flavor!!

I don't know what to call this!!

I was watching Rachel Ray the other day and she is a little too fancy for me. But I got the start of an idea from her.
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!! And you could add in anything else....olives, peperoni, get creative!!

Open Face Turkey Sandwiches

This is simple and delicious. Kristin made it for us when we went to visit and I told her to put it on here, but she said it was too dumb. BUT, I loved it, so here it is.

You simply put turkey on a pieice of bread, sliced tomato on the turkey and then sprinkle it with season salt. Then you sprinkle the whole thing with cheese.
Bake on 350 until the cheese is melted.

Drum roll please...

This is a recipe I don't share with everyone!! I love fish but I hate the fish flavor that comes along with fish! But here is my Salmon Recipe!!!!! 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!
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!!!

Fast and Easy

A few things I've discovered and tried!!!!
1-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!!
2-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!!!
3-Tin foil dinners!! You can wrap anything in tin foil and bake for 30-45 min and it keeps everything moist and keeps in the flavor!!!
