Top the tortillas with more salsa and some cheese, cook at 350 for about 25 minutes.<br />Another is combining drained black beans, a can of corn, two cans of diced tomatoes (we get the Italian kind), and heat on the stove. Serve over rice with cheese, and eat with tortilla chips...the chips add all the salt you need. You can also add meat if that's what your man wants.tearesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362666264858845959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-55795521832282251382011-11-12T20:08:38.691-08:002011-11-12T20:08:38.691-08:00Hmmm.

Right now Meatball Minstrone Soup is a favorite because its a meal in a dish, Spaghetti and Meatsauce, Roast Chicken with Rice and yeah, that's all I can think of. I'll send you the recipe's if you want. All are pretty easy.Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283580073759431574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-52838538364673481572011-11-11T18:14:00.856-08:002011-11-11T18:14:00.856-08:00I love this!
My go-to dinner if I didn't thin...I love this!<br /><br />My go-to dinner if I didn't think of anything else is this: Cook whole wheat rotini with some frozen vegetable (same pot, same water, same time): in my case, usually spinach or broccoli. Drain pasta. Add protein (usually either frozen chicken breast that I cook on the George Foreman grill while the pasta is cooking or a can or two of tuna fish) and a little olive oil, mix in the pot you cooked the pasta in. Serve with parmesan cheese and seasoning to taste.<br /><br />Other big favorites, if I plan enough to use the Crock Pot are <a href="http://southernfood.about.com/od/crockpotbeefstew/r/bl115c9.htm" rel="nofollow">beef and sweet potato stew</a>, which I serve over couscous (I don't bother to precook the beef), and <a href="http://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/slow-cooker-chunky-chicken-chili/571bdee1-3b91-4210-8d9d-56ccbed0179e/" rel="nofollow">chicken hominy chili</a>.<br /><br />Oh! And very easy if you can plan for it: <a href="http://www.grouprecipes.com/40472/sweep-steak.html" rel="nofollow">Sweep Steak</a>.

Make a fill...I make these easy enchiladas a lot...<br /><br />Make a filling with any/all of the following: shredded chicken, corn, onion, cheese, diced chili peppers, or anything else you can think of! Add a little enchilada sauce to moisten.<br /><br />Dip a tortilla (flour or corn!) in enchilada sauce and roll some of the mixture inside. Lay them side by side in an 8x10 pan and cover with more enchilada sauce.<br /><br />Cover & bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, or until warm.<br /><br />I like this recipe because it's easy, I usually have enough ingredients already in my cabinets and each time it's a little different. :)stacie dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02034940984926936683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-78719233015560501592011-11-11T11:33:46.993-08:002011-11-11T11:33:46.993-08:00Here's some I've already blogged about-

Even London likes it.<br /><br /> We do this parmesan roasted butternut squash thing that Joe can't get enough of. You wash, peel and cube the squash. Toss it in cream, sage, salt, and pepper. Roast it for an hour in the oven. Top it with parmesan for another 5 minutes in the oven and it's heavenly.<br /><br />We also do a tomato basil soup that is fantastic. I can't stand the canned version. You get tomatoes from your garden or a big can of the diced tomatoes and toss it into a 9x13 pan. Put garlic and basil all over it. Cover it in olive oil. Roast it in the oven for about an hour. Blend it with some milk or chicken stock and serve it up with grilled cheese sandwiches. Absolutely heavenly!<br /><br />We like to experiment with recipes and when one is declared to be a good one, we stick it in a big binder. The front of our binder screams FAMILY FAVORITES and we love to turn to it for good stuff.<br /><br />If you want any particulars on the recipes I have just let me know and I can actually type them out with measurements for you.Sibley Saga ....https://www.blogger.com/profile/09659417916666607076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953434957462559041.post-49125927344983342782011-11-11T05:25:13.265-08:002011-11-11T05:25:13.265-08:00This recipe from Erica has been a standard at our ...This recipe from Erica has been a standard at our house for years: http://www.andnoplacetogo.com/index.php/2011/11/08/a-maybe-new-crock-pot-recipe/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
