I'm reading the recipe thread here and so far everything has some ingredients that he'd never touch. Shessshhhhh

You know if you just salt and pepper a whole chicken and bake it that is really good and the whole house will smell good.

ok. I'll try that. It's sounds simple and good. He'll eat it. With a salad on the side. How long for a whole chicken to cook? I sometimes just do chicken parts that way but not a whole one.

How about some fish?

Randi has this awesome recipe for fish....

Laura: The sounds good but I would want to add some spices to it. Any suggestions?

Mar: Would that work with brown rice?....Edit: dah...I see you cook the rice beforehand then mix together so will try it.

It tastes better with brown rice though you may not need quite as much.

I was just getting ready to go cook - tonight I'm making battered cod, baked potatos, and brussel sprouts..maybe some carrots, too.

**beeniesmom** · 03-24-2006, 08:16 AM

Yum!
I will probably bake fish sticks tonight and make some fresh green beans.

I used to make a Chicken and Broccoli bake kind of thing in a creamy sauce. Haven't had it in ages. Would you like me to look the recipe out?

Have you ever made this in the form of 'popovers'? You use creme cheese, diced chicken and broccoli and put it inside those rolls that come in a tube? It is so yummy.

(course, most food surrounded by creme cheese has a little 'somethin' to it, he he he)

How about mini pizzas, i do a low fat version , i buy little pita breads, reduced fat cheese, low fat ham and make up a ham and pineapple version , i use lite tomato sauce, onion, WW reduced cheese, low fat ham and pineapple,of course you can add any topping you prefer or have the higher fat version if you prefer, i cook them and them freeze them, so nice and handy to have and quick and easy.
