Guest guest Posted August 30, 2002 Report Share Posted August 30, 2002 Hi Susie and Carol... Susie, I am with you...nothing out of a box unless you have to add something to it. Coming from a long line of good cooks, my grandparents would turn over in their graves if they thought I was cooking from a box. I remember my grandmother dumping floor on her counter, making a well in the center, and adding the rest of the ingredients to make homemade biscuits to go with the homemade jelly and butter and fresh eggs from their chickens and last but not least, cream gravy...yum! My other grandparents taught me how to be a cajun cook. I still can't believe that I married a man from Chicago who likes hamburger helper. When I cook Mud bugs (crawfish) he cooks his hamburger Helper in his studio so it doesn't stink up the house. His idea of fish is a Mac's fish sandwich and that is the only kind of seafood he'll touch. Go figure. That is the way I make my meatloaf except I used crackers. You can also add a half of tube of sausage for a different flavor. You can also roll it up in meatballs, fry the outside and then put the lid on the pot and let it make its own gravy over a medium low heat and at the end add flour and water to make more gravy. For us cajuns...serve rice. Carol...My kids love spaghetti...it is always better the second time. I have an easy recipe for you. Heat a jar of salsa with a can of chili (no beans) and some water. Dip tortillas in sauce to soften, set aside and fill with cheese and onions, roll and put in the pan. Continue until the pan is full, pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas and top with cheese. Bake at 350-400 for about 20 minutes. Yum and sure to raise your cholesterol. My kids love mexican food, especially enchiladas and Quesadillas... fry bacon. Put some butter in skillet and put a flour tortilla down, put broken bacon on top and cheese, cover with another tortilla and then brown both sides. Serve with sour cream and avocado. You can use steak or chicken and mushrooms and onions inside if you like those ingredients (just cook them first). Home made Chicken Pot Pie. Use Pillsbury crusts in box (its in a box, oh no). Boil chicken, carrots, celery and onions until tender. Add chopped chicken and vegetables and mix with cream of chicken soup, peas, seasonings, shredded cheese, little bit of milk. Mix all together, pour into crust, top with crust, bake at 350 until golden. My kids call this good ole pie...a variation on shepard's pie. 1 box jiffy cornbread mix...mix per directions with a little more liquid. Cover bottom of square pan that has been sprayed with pam up to 1/4 " , cook in oven for around 10 minutes to set. Fry hamburger meat with onions and seasonings, blot dry and crumble over crust. Poor a can of regular corn and a can of cream corn over the meat. Cover with slices of american cheese and then pour remaining cornbread mixture over the top. Bake at 400 for approx 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and cut. As you can see, my children love cheese! These are all really easy recipes that are fast after work trying to get food on the table for starving kids. I hope you an Stan have a great holiday weekend. We are staying at home as my children are going to a family reunion with their father. The bad thing about a good divorce after a lot of years is losing those who became your family. I plan to rest and try to get caught up on some things that need my attention. I hope these recipes will help you. Let me know if you need any clarification. Have a great weekend.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2002 Report Share Posted August 31, 2002 Iris, those are wonderful recipes! And they each sound like something Jeff and Suzi would enjoy. Oddly enough, their daughter will eat anything. She loves veggies. The recipes are going to do double duty, because I'm going to make the chicken pot pie for Stan next week. What a good idea that is! Thanks again, Iris. I hope you have a relaxing weekend. I'm divorced and remarried, and I know what you mean about losing the family and some friends when you end the marriage. It's silly the way people feel the need to take sides, but it happens. Having a quiet weekend alone is nice for a change, though, and I'm sure you'll be able to get so much done. If you get lonely, we're just an email away. Much love, Carol Re: [ ] Recipes for Carol Hi Susie and Carol... Susie, I am with you...nothing out of a box unless you have to add something to it.
