Hey ladies,
Wanna share some recipes? I feel like I'm bored with our meals. I'll post a few as I find them on my computer. I'll also let you know if they are one of our "healthy" meals.

Cheeseburger Casserole
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
Peel and thinly slice potatoes; layer in prepared baking dish. Bake potatoes until slightly crisp, about 10 minutes; remove baking dish from oven and set aside.
While potatoes are baking, coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat; add garlic, onion, green pepper and mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes; remove to a plate, cover to keep warm and set aside. Add turkey to skillet; cook until browned, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add cooked vegetables, cumin, salt and pepper to turkey and stir to combine; spread mixture over potatoes in baking dish.
In a small microwave safe bowl, combine cheese product, evaporated milk and crushed red pepper flakes; cover and microwave on high power until cheese melts, about 1 to 2 minutes. Spoon melted cheese over turkey and sprinkle with tortilla chips. Bake for 35 minutes; remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving
Great football/tailgating meal- Not healthy but really good. It is called Chicken Wing on a Chip Dip however most of my friends call it "crack on a chip" since once you start you can not stop eating.
2 cans of white chicken
2 packs of cream cheese
1 pack of sharp ched cheese
bottle of buffalo wing sauce
Spread the cream cheese on the bottom of the dish
Drain the chicken and mix 1/2 the bottle of wing sauce with the chicken
Spread the chicken and wing sauce mixture on top of the cream cheese
Top with sharp ched cheese
Bake for 30-35 min at 375
Serve with corn chips
I would suggest though using Frank's Hot Sauce and blue cheese as well, and nix the buffalo wing sauce.
Being a Buffalo girl, I am picky about my chicken wing dip.
I need recipes with no cheese. H HATES cheese and I'm running out of ideas. Help a girl out.
I will share my mom's beef stew recipe that is always a hit when I get a chance.
Hike-maybe make this a sticky so we can always reference it?
He hates cheese? Oh my gosh I think I could eat chese all of the time
My healthy recipe today is stuffed peppers:
4 red bell peppers
1 lb ground beef
Cauliflower
1 can tomato paste
1 can diced tomatoes
Chipotle (to taste - anywhere from a sprinkle to a Tbs)
1 small onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, diced
Olive oil
Pour 1 tsp olive oil in a pan, heat up to medium, add diced onions and garlic. Saute until the onions are soft. Add ground beef. Top with chipotle, salt, pepper, chili power, etc. Cook until browned. Add tomato paste, add diced tomatoes. Separately, use a food processor or blender to shred cauliflower (raw, uncooked). Cut the tops off the bell peppers, hollow out the center (the white stuff and seeds). Turn off the stove, add cauliflower to the meat mixture. Using a spoon, scoop into the peppers until barely overflowing. Cover with sharp cheddar cheese, if desired. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until the peppers are wrinkled and soft.
Delicious! I have about a dozen more recipes or so, but I'm drunk from watching my Patriots lose and can't process right now.
Take 2 full size tomatoes, 1 jalapeno, and 2 garlic cloves, and toast them til the outer part of the skins are blackened. The garlic will obviously cook the fastest. While that is cooking, grab about a handful of cilantro, about half an onion (you can also toast that if you wish, I personally do) and some chicken bullion (about 2 tablespoons, more or less, depending on how salty you like it). Once everything is ready, throw it all into a blender, and blend to your liking. Throw in about a tablespoon of water to thin and/or lighten the spice if you want.
It will be hot due to the cooking of the tomatoes, and once it cools down, the taste will change, so I do recommend waiting a bit before adding anything to it. Because of the fact that this is just a "throw it all together" recipe for us, measurements may vary. But this usually works out pretty well, and my FI's family who is non-Mexican, LOVES it! Ha ha!
OH! And if you wanna make some bomb guacamole, do the exact same thing, but add 2 avocados. SO YUMMY!
Ooooh yeah.... plus I'm trying not to mourn it too much. We saw the pressure from a "perfect season" and I'd just as well them lose a few early games than playoffs or the Super Bowl! At least that's what I'm comforting myself with tonight.
I've got a bunch I'll post once I get back from Virginia - so probably Tuesday/Wednesday
3 chicken breasts, cubed
1 1/2lb head of broccoli
baby carrots (I used like half a bag because I LOVE them!!, but if you hate them, they aren't necessary)
1/4 yellow onion (I hate onion, so I leave it pretty big so I can pick it out.)
1 clove of garlic
brown rice (I used 2 cups, because my parents love it, and I'll have leftovers for lunch tomorrow)
Basically, I used 2 tbsp of olive oil in the electric skillet, threw the carrots in first. As I cubed the chicken, I dipped it in soy sauce (not soaked it.. just dipped), then I threw it in the skillet. I steamed the broccoli for 4 minutes then added it to the skillet. I added the onion and garlic last. The rice doesn't really take that long, so I wanted to give everything a chance to cook thoroughly. When the rice is done, I put it on a platter, then spooned everything else on top of it.
It's really easy and it's relatively healthy!

Shepherds Pie Stuffed Potatoes - It's by Rachel Ray so I'm just going to post the link
http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/food/recipes/shepherds-pie-stuffed-potatoes/
These are my FAVORITE Oatmeal Raisin cookies. Soo good. It's also a huge batch, so cut it in half if you so wish!!
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 1/3cup light brown sugar, packed
2 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups rolled oats
1 1/2cup raisins
1 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together. Stir this into the butter/sugar mixture. Stir in the oats, raisins and walnuts, if using them.
At this point you can either chill the dough for a bit in the fridge and then scoop it, or scoop the cookies onto a sheet and then chill the whole tray before baking them. You could also bake them right away, if you’re impatient, but I do find that they end up slightly less thick.
The cookies should be two inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (your baking time will vary, depending on your oven and how cold the cookies were going in), taking them out when golden at the edges but still a little undercooked-looking on top. Let them sit on the hot baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool.
It's for some AMAZING pumpkin spice bread
Ingredients
Directions
In a large bowl, combine sugar, oil and eggs. Add pumpkin and mix well. Combine dry ingredients; add to the pumpkin mixture alternately with water. Pour into two greased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 60-65 minutes or until bread tests done. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack; cool completely.
Ingredients
2 oz. bacon, cut into small pieces
1 egg, room temperature
1 T heavy cream at room temperature
1/4 C grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 pound dry fettuccine pasta
1 T butter, softened
1 T chopped parsley
ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Cook bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
In medium bowl beat together eggs and cream just until blended. Stir in cheese and set aside.
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to pan. Toss with butter until it is melted.
Add bacon and cheese mixture and toss gently until mixed.
Stir in parsley and pepper before serving
1 can chili beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can kidney beans (dark or light red..either one)
1 can of tomatoes with jalapeno's (I used Rotel)
1 can of corn
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 packet of ranch seasoning
1 lb of ground beef.
Brown the ground beef, then add to the soup pot or crock pot and cook on high for 2 hours, or low for 4 hours.
I slice flour tortillas into strips, lay them out in a pan and brush them with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake at 200 for 15-20 minutes.
Three 8oz packages of cream cheese
1 pack of bacon
1 pack of shredded cheese (mixed or cheddar)
1/2c to 1c of green onions (chives) depending on taste
Directions: READ THROUGH BEFORE YOU BEGIN!!!
Set out packages of cream cheese so they soften enough to be stirred at room temperature. While cream cheese "thaws" cook the bacon. Chop green onions to amount desired and use as much as you desire. After bacon is fully cooked, put in food processor or cut by hand to make bacon bits.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees now.
Save some of the bacon bits, onions, and cheese to put on top. Add the majority of the bacon bits, onions, and shredded cheese to the cream cheese and mix well. Spread into a 13x9in pan.
Once everything is in the pan sprinkle the set aside ingredients (bacon bits, onions and cheese) on top of the mixture and place dip in the oven and bake until the shredded cheese is melted and dip is slightly bubbly.
Serve with chips or crackers and ENJOY!
(Sami style)
4 frozen boneless skinless chicken breast
3 cans Great Northern Beans
1 bag of baby carrots
28 oz (2 cans) of Chicken Stock)
1 tsp of ground cumin
1 cube of Chicken Boullion or 1 tbsp of Adobo Chicken seasoning
(I get the Adobo that has Cumin in it so you could omit the ground cumin if you have that)
4 stalks celery cut into small pieces
1 lg yellow onion
1/2 stick of butter (Or just throw the whole dang thing in there!)
1/2 cup of milk
Sprinkle of chili powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
Throw everything except 1 can of the Northern Beans into the crock pot and let it go all day (like an average work day...). Pull out the chicken breasts and shred them. Use the remaining can of beans and mash them up. Whisk together the mashed up beans and milk and add to soup to thicken. Serve with bacon crumbles or (and this is my favorite way to eat it) toasted French bread.
