oohh im gonna use the chicken and dumplings one...sounds yummy and great for fall

Christy - posted on 10/06/2009

Last one. My easy chicken and dumplings. this can easily fit any family size. This is the recipe I use for my family of 4.



1 rotisserie chicken from deli

2 stalks celery sliced

2 carrots sliced

2 cans butermilk buiscuts

2 pks chicken gravy



Strip chicken from bone and set aside. Boil bones in about 2 qts water for about an hour to make homemade chicken broth. You can add a bullion cube or 2 for extra flavor if you like. Strain broth into another pot and add chicken and veggies. Bring back to a boil and cook till veggies tender. Add gravy and mix well. Cut biscuts in quarters and carefully drop into pot. Cover pot and remove from heat for 5 min and serve.



I have use garlic herb and applewood smoked chicken in this it gives it a different spin on a classic food.

Christy - posted on 10/06/2009

I acually have a couple more quick recipes heres one for my potatoe soup. My husband hates soup but he always requests this. and its easy to adjust to fit your family size.



2 md potatoes per person

3 stalks celery chopped

2 to 3 pks loaded instant potatoes (i use idaho brand)

meat of choice. I use 2 boxes precooked bacon and have an extra on the side for my meat and potatoes husband.This is also great with left over pot roast or steak.



This is great with the potatoes peeled or skins on. If leaving skins on be sure to clean first. chop potatoes and celery and boil together till potatoes are tender. Drain the cooked potatoes and celery and return to hot pan. Fill pan with milk. For my family of 4 i use a whole gallon.Cut bacon into about 1 in pieces and add to soup.Simmer on med low for 30 min, stirring often. Add instant potatoes and mix well. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 min. Serve with biscuts or crackers.



The instant potatoes are for thickness. Add more or less to your likeing. I have tried it with all the different flavors of instant potatoes that idaho puts out and you can't really go wrong with any of them.

My family goulash.It's quick, easy and taste great! Heres the recipe



2 Lb ground chuck

1 md. block velveeta cheese

1 large can crushed tomatoes

1 md can tomato sauce

1 med. sweet onion (chopped)

1 box of your favorite noodle i use shell or rotini



I use onion powder,garlic powder, and a spice called everglades though you can use salt and pepper. I dont have mesurements of these because i just add to taste.



First start your water for pasta,and cook acording to package. brown beef with chopped onions, once brown drain grease. To browned beef/onion mix add crushed tomatoes and sauce. Cube up velveeta and add to sauce. simmer stirring often till cheese is melted and all is combined well. Once pasta is done mix into sauce and enjoy. we serve biscuts or dinner rolls with this.



We have tried it with ground turkey and deer meat its great with them too

Take 3 or 4 (or whatever) chicken breasts... Beat one egg... put 1 large can of French's French Fried Onions into a large ziplock bag. Coat the chicken in the egg, and put it in the bag. Shake it up and put it into a prepared (sprayed with Pam) baking dish. After all chicken is coated, but the remainder of the onions on top of the chicken and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until the temp of the chicken is 180 degrees... YUMMY!!!!!



For a great variation, French's also makes cheddar cheese flavored onions.... reallllllly good!

one can diced water chestnuts drained

1/4 c sliced almonds

2 cans low fat cream soup (mushroom, celery whatever you want)

1/2 c mayo

1 cup shredded cheese

Remove skin and dice the chicken. Cook rice and green beans in microwave per package directions. Mix everything else together and put in a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly.

This is a recipe that my teenage son loves and it is a family favorite. I got it from Busy People's Down-Home Cooking Without the Down-Home Fat Cookbook. I get lots of free recipes on the Cooking For Busy People website. I hope this helps!





One Pot Spaghetti

• Combine the pasta sauce, ground turkey, water, and jelly in the prepared Dutch oven over high heat; mix well.

• Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and boil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

• Turn off the heat and let stand, covered, for 7 minutes.

Teresa - posted on 10/01/2009

My best friend showed me a simple and very quick n easy meal that is healthy - my step kids are normally fast food fans but anytime i say to you want pasta, cheese n salad they all raise their hands!!



Simple -

1. Pot of pasta on the stove - any type - we like the spirals.

2. Chop up tomato & lettuce (Cherry tomatos are good for this).

3. Put Salt & Pepper all over the lettuce & tomato & stir.

4. Grate some cheese on top of the salad (as i call it)

5. Strain the pasta and add it reasonable hot to the top of the cheese.

6. Grate some more cheese on top.

7. Add a little more salt & pepper to the top.



Obvisouly you don't want too much cheese (or salt) or it reduces the health factor.

And just recently I made up one for lunch to take to work and I had some leftover chicken and chucked that in and it was fab.....



And my friend who taught me that receipe was over the other weekend and she has altered herself - instead of putting the cheese on the top of the salad and then more cheese on top of the pasta - she now uses half the cheese and actually stirs it into the pot of pasta (once drained of all the water of course!).



Hope you enjoy

sweet and sour chicken

cut up enough chicken for your family...I normally make extra for leftovers. cook chicken and remove from pan, keep the pan warm though to add equal parts kraft regular BBQ sauce and apricot jam(I use 1 cup of each) also a good couple teaspoons of soya sauce. Heat til jam blends in and then add a can of pineapple. Put chicken back in and heat til sauce thickens a little...doesm't take long really. I server it over rice...also make the same sauce and put it with homemade meatballs.

Quoting Davina:

I love to throw a whole chicken in the crock pot in the morning. Just put it on low, sprinkle on some seasoned salt, and walk away for 6-8 hours. It will take 2 spatulas to pull it from the crock pot (it will fall off the bones) but, OMG delish. Make about 3-4 bags of IDAHOAN baby reds instant mashed potatoes, with a bag of frozen veggies (I get the steam fresh microwave stuff). It will take less than 10 minutes to get together at dinner time. I love my crock pot because if we are all getting home at different times the food is always ready.

Hi Davina,

I was wondering about cooking the chicken in the crock pot. Do your cover the chicken with water or broth? & do you cover the entire chicken in liquid? It sounds yummy & I would like to try it! =) Thanks!

using one of the rotisserie chickens that can be found at most grocery stores, canned chicken gravy, a bag of frozen soup vegetables and a store bought pie crust my family loves chicken pot pie, it takes me five minutes to prep, and bakes for about 30-45 minutes according to the directions for the crust, but it tastes as good as homemade and is filling (especially as it gets colder) It's hearty enough for the adults and my 14 month old daughter loves it too.

I'm a single mom of 2 and this is a favorite meal of the kids, and easy to throw together when I'm really too tired to cook. You'll probably need to double, or triple, for your large group, but that would be easy to do. It's easy on the budget too!



Hamburger skillet:

1 lb lean ground beef (I use ground turkey often instead)

1 pkg ramen noodles

2 c water

1 bag frozen vegetables



Brown ground meat and drain. Add noodles, seasoning packet, water and vegetables. Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 10 min, stirring occasionally.

Shrimp Alfredo Ravioli

1 lb frozen or fresh shrimp (tail off)
1 1/2 onion (optional..or more if wanted)
1 lb sliced mushrooms (optional..more or less to your taste)
1 tbls butter
Garlic to taste
Salt & Pepper to taste
1 bag frozen Ravioli (your choice, but recommend staying away from the Italian sausage...I use the 4 cheese one)
1 jar of Alfredo Sauce (Many Varities to choose from, I use the Light Alfredo or the Mushroom Alfredo)

Saute Shrimp, Onion, Mushrooms, Garlic, Salt & Pepper in Butter until Shrimp is pink & firm & onions are opaque.
While cooking Shrimp, make Ravioli according to package (boil in hot water 15 mins)

When Shrimp is done, drain Ravioli. Mix Shrimp, Alfredo Sauce & Ravioli together. Add Salt & Pepper to your taste & serve with Parmesan Cheese.

This makes enough for 4 good size bowls. Can make more or less depending on your family size.

I love kraftfoods.com. Most recipes are simple and quick, but will probably need to be at least doubled for your family. We also like to do egg burritos a lot at our house.



Egg Buritos: Scrambled eggs (whip up as many as needed for family size) mixed with vegetables of your choice (bell peppers, hot peppers, mushrooms, potatoes, green chile, etc.) while scrambling. Served on warmed flour tortillas with salsa and cheese toppings. Good luck!

Cilantro, chopped, to taste

Salt, Pepper, etc to taste

Tator tot hotdish. My family loves it.



1 lb ground beef -- browned

mix beef with cheese soup (2 cans) (if you can find nacho cheese soup 1 can, 1 can cheese soup; if you can find nacho then add a dash of tabasco-- doesn't make it spicey and a good flavor)

french cut green beans(1 can)

and a lot of tator tots (mix some in with the meat and soup and then put some on top

put it all together in a microwave dish.

cook in microwave for 25 mins

I use a 2 quart dish.

Since you have a little bigger family you might want to double it.



Very easy. Hope you enjoy!!
