I did half of them in thin strips not much bigger than the noodles in canned soup. The rest I cut about as big as a stick of gum - maybe three inches by 1 inch. I liked those better as they stay more chewy They also look more like my homemade noodles which we call "dumplings" in the south.

I wonder how it would taste made with corn tortillas? I bet it would be good as long as they don't go back to mush

Awsome definitely gonna have to try that! yeah the thicker ones sound much better!

I dont know about corn totillas, cause like you said, it seems like they would mush up on you?? not sure tho?

I've been sick so I haven't gone out or done much of anything other than going to work. So, I've been cooking - mostly soup. Here's the past 2 night dinners and the Beef Veggie soup was just made for tonight.

Homemade Potato Soup

• 1 bag of potatoes
• 4 onions
• 3 stalks of celery
• 2 cans of chicken broth
• 1 cup of water
• 1 cup of milk
• A few dashes of salt (I like it salty, so I put extra salt)
• A few dashes of chicken bouillon
• A few shredded baby carrots
• 2 sticks of butter

Cut potatoes, onions, and celery to the size you like.
Boil potatoes in water.
In another pan, sautee onions and celery with 1 stick of butter. When cooked add broth and water.

Drain potatoes, add celery/onion/broth mixture. Add milk, salt, and butter to taste. Shred a few carrots over top for color.



Chicken Catchatori

• 1 can/jar of spaghetti sauce
• rice
• boneless chicken breasts
• carrots, celery, onions (optional)

Boil boneless chicken breasts until cooked completely. Shred/cut chicken to preferred size.
Cook as much rice as needed to serve.
Sautee carrots, celery, and onions.
Put spaghetti sauce in a frying pan and heat. Once the carrots, celery, and onions are cooked - add to sauce.
Add chicken to sauce and let cook all together for about 5 minutes.
Plate a bed of rice, scoop on the sauce and chicken. Enjoy!



Beef Vegetable Soup

• leftover steak
• leftover rice
• leftover greenbeans, corn, and peas
• water

Kay, I made the pototoe soup the other night...didn't look as good as yours. I made the mistake of taking the boat motor to it, I meant to just do it a bit but ended up doing too much.

Heres a recipe that delicious! I had been meaning to post it for you guys but never got around to it. I made it it school and it was good so I got the recipe and I have had it plenty of times at home.

Quick Pasta with no vodka sauce

2 T. Butter
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 1/2 c. tomato sauce
1/4 c. heavy cream
1/4 c. chicken broth
2 T. parmesan cheese
A few pinches of crushed red pepper flakes
2 c. cooked pasta


Melt butter in a large fry pan, add garlic, and saute until tender, but not brown. Blend in tomato sauce, bring to a simmer over low heat. Slowly stir in chicken broth. Slowly add the tempered cream to the sauce, stirring constantly. Add parmesan cheese and pepper flakes. Stir until well blended and thoroughly heated. Add cooked, drained pasta to the sauce. Toss to coat. Enjoy Then add more parm. cheese on top of the pasta w/ sauce, if you like it that way. (Also, if you have leftover sauce you can use it as a dipping sauce. I love dipping pizza rolls in it. )

I have now tried Kay's potato soup and mruffruff's Cuban pork roast - and both were just fantastic The carrots in the potato soup sure do add eye appeal and that recipe is buttery rich and yummy. The roast will also be a regular as I love the flavor of the cumin.

It really is fun to read and see what other folks have been making - gives me ideas I love this thread and the other "what is for dinner?" threads.

Soooo I am hoping to see more pictures to give me inspiration.

How about some breakfast food?

This morning I fixed buckwheat pancakes with lite syrup and turkey bacon.
Yummy!

[Rachel]

Oh, Anna, I love pancakes and turkey bacon. Need to put that on the grocery list for this week.

[Jods]

OMG that Ziti looks soooooo good

I used my George Foreman to make a panini and it turned out great!



It was made of:

• French Bread sprayed with canola oil
• Ham
• American Cheese
• Spinach
• Banana Peppers
• Chipotle Cheddar Dressing

Add some Baked Cheetos...YUMMY!
