simple chicken salad.

I am making chicken salad.

I use mayonaise, chopped onions, chopped peppers, and I always put in about two teaspoons of sweet relish to offset the onions.

Then I can spread it on thick slices of bread and place some tomatoe slices and lettuce on top ot that.

Cover it all with another slice of bread and call it a chicken salad sandwich -

YUMM !!!!

Italian soup from meat balls and potato leftovers

This is an easy meal to make the day after you've had meat balls and potatoes.

Cook some onions in some oil in your soup pot.

Add some garlic as well to kill the flu germs.

Open up a big can of tomatoes and throw it in.

Add a little basil.

A beef oxo cube or some bouillon.

Add your meat balls and potatoes.

Throw in a handful of macaroni pasta.

Let it simmer for a while.

Simple, easy, and yummy.

No wasting leftovers!

easy scalloped potatoes in crockpot.

I made a dish that I found the recipe for in one of those crockpot cookbooks.
I liked it a lot....but, again, do you think my family liked it??? NOPE!

I sliced 6 potatoes and layered it with some chopped onions in the crockpot.

After that I made a white sauce in the saucepan from a quarter cup of flour and 2 cups of milk, whisking away as it warmed up on medium heat.

After that sauce was made, I added it to the scalloped potatoes in the crockpot, added salt and pepper and a quarter cup of grated cheddar cheese.

I left it in the covered crockpot for a few hours, until the smell made me want to dig in!

Very simple, and yummy.... FOR A NORMAL FAMILY!

sausage omelette

I made this sausage omelette for supper from the leftover sausages I cooked yesterday.
I came up with the idea from an old cookbook but I don't have a habit of following the recipe very well. Needless to say I skipped a few ingredients and a few steps.
It was very garlicky, and I managed to down half of what was on my plate....on the other hand Jon loved it!
Go figure! The meals I think are hits he barely eats any of it and what I think are flops, ...he loves it!

simple canelloni

I created a simple canelloni dish for supper tonight, I liked it very much.

Ingredients:
half a box of canelloni noodles, cooked and cooled.
half an onion
1/4 pound gound beef
a orange pepper, roasted with the skin removed.
a large can of diced tomatoes in sauce
a couple cloves of garlic, crushed with salt, some indian spices, and pepper.
Shredded cheeses

Cook the beef, onion and garlic in a frying pan on medium heat. There is no need to add oil to the pan before hand because the beef is greasy enough....even lean meat!
Chop the pepper in cubes and add to the frying pan.
Dump your can of tomatoes and shut off the heat.

Open a canelloni noodle one at a time while shoving some mixture into each one and placing them on a lightly oiled baking pan.
Once that's all done (it may be a while!) dump the leftover frying pan mix overtop the noodles.
Drizzle a cup or so of shredded cheses and bake it all at about 360 for half an hour.
