Stroganoff with Egg Noodles

If you really like stroganoff, this is a recipe to make. It was delicious. It is too much of a fattening dish for me so I make this only once in awhile. I did not change it one bit. I followed directions exactly.

Stove top Macaroni and Cheese

I have yet not found a yummy mac and cheese so I figured one out on my own. First many of the mac and cheese, calls for baking I really think it dries it out. So here is mine.

2 tlbs butter melted in pot

2 tbls four

1 cup half and half

salt and pepper

1 cup of cheddar cheese

5 or so oz of cooked macaroni and cheese ( we like the large shells)



***Melt butter in pot. Add flour and whisk until no lumps and starts to bubble.

**Remove from heat and slowly add 1 cup of half and half ( trust me it is sooo creamy)

**Return to heat and whisk. Boil one minute

**Remove fromheat and add cheddar cheese. Mix until cheese is all melted. Add cheese to warm noodles. Serve warm.

Chili

Sooo so good chili. My changes: I did not use beer. I did use coffee. I used extremely good coffee and that gave it a kick. For spices I used cumin, chili powder, brown sugar, tomato paste ( only 2 tbls). I would next time use beef broth. I did not have on hand. Very, very good. Oh and I did not have corriander but I added a handful of cilantro when I sauteed my garlic and added my spices.
We made cilantro cornbread on the side.

Hamburger Noodle Bake

Ohh this dish was sooo good. I used half of sour cream and half of cream cheese as well. I also used fresh baby spinach and layered in ontop of the cheese layer. Easy, fast and yummy. The kids clear the plate when I make this.

Japanese Chicken

This chicken was amazing good. I highly recommend do not use , again DO NOT use chicken breast. It was very dry. I used chicken thighs the first time, halved the recipe and it was delicious. Finger licking good. I served with white rice and steamed cabbage and shrimp and chicken wontons.

Creamy Burrito Casserole

I would add olives. I am making it again this week and will add black olives. I also added picante sauce with the ground beef and refried beans.

Crockpot Potato Chowder

I loved this recipe. It was comforting and filling and most important very easy. I made a few changes. I added way more water than they suggested. I filled the pot with potatoes and added water a few inched above the potatoes. Very delicious. I served with homemade parmesan breadsticks. ( which I was not so happy about but still good).
