Creamy Jambalaya Pasta

Creamy Jambalaya Pasta

So, this is almost a full week of Pinterest recipes.  The creative bug will not strike until maybe this weekend with the chocolate cheesecake recipe I’ll whip up.  Now, it’s just a week of trying other people’s recipes.  Tonight, it’s Creamy Jambalaya Pasta from Plain Chicken. Now, remember,…

Chicken Fricassee

Chicken Fricassee Cooking Light September 2010 I do not like chicken legs.  It’s not the meat or the flavor.  I CAN.NOT.STAND having to pull things out of my mouth like bones, cartilege, stuff like that.  Legs are FAMOUS for that with me.  There’s just all these other…pieces…that I…

Steak Diane

Steak Diane

Steak Diane recipe Cooking Light, July 2005 I’ve never had steak diane before, so I didn’t know what to expect. It was pretty good. Really good, even. I don’t know what the big deal is about this dish because it was really easy to make and didn’t take…

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed Peppers recipe Cooking Light, January 2003 This was pretty easy, tasty, and FILLING! I couldn’t eat the whole portion!! I thought it was going to be bland, and just by chance used spaghetti sauce. I had plain tomato sauce for it, but couldn’t find the second 8…

Greek Steak Pitas

Greek Steak Pitas

Greek Steak Pitas recipe Cooking Light, June 2009 So, I forgot to buy spinach. Maybe it was a subconscious thing as I’m not too fond of sauteed fresh spinach. We used london broil instead of flank steak. I tried to cut it supah thin so it wouldn’t be…

Chicken Kiev

Chicken Kiev Cooking Light, JANUARY 2007 I’ve made this before. Now matter how hard I try, the butter NEVER stays in the chicken. It’s supposed to. I used a roasting pan with a rack, thinking it would help them be crispier. Don’t use fresh bread. I coated two…

Root vegetables add a touch of sweetness to this savory Yankee Pot Roast stew. Yankee cooks traditionally add the vegetables partway through the cooking process, which helps keep them from breaking down

Yankee Pot Roast

  Yankee Pot Roast Cooking Light, OCTOBER 2007   Meh. It’s pot roast. I liked the addition of parsnips to this, but I didn’t do any of the other interesting root veggies. Just onions, potatoes, carrots, and the parsnips. They are REALLY sweet when cooked, if you haven’t…

Beef Goulash

Beef Goulash

Beef Goulash Cooking Light, MARCH 2006 We made this recipe last night. We didn’t follow the directions to a T because, seriously, 2+ hours?? I don’t think so. I think it’s something I would convert to a slow cooked recipe, though. So, we followed the directions to the…

Take the oven out of the equation for this one-pot, stove top version of an American classic. One-Pot Stove Top Tuna Noodle Casserole is sure to please you and your family with its flavor. #onepotmeals #tunacasserole #noodlelove #easydinnerideas #comfortfoodcravings

Tuna Romanoff

  Tuna Romanoff Cooking Light, JANUARY 1995   This recipe, to me, seemed like a traditional Tuna Noodle Casserole with the addition of mushrooms and pimientos. I never add the pimientos. Just can’t bring myself to pay that much for a jar of them. I may try some…

Home-Style Meat Loaf

Home-Style Meat Loaf Cooking Light, MARCH 1998 Photo courtesy of Southern Living, APRIL 2005 This meatloaf was DELICIOUS! I would use a thermometer, though, mine was a little under cooked after the allotted time. We’re making this tonight for dinner, too. The sandwiches and left overs from this…
