Oriental Broccoli SaladThis is another version of the popular salad made with a bag of Broccoli Slaw and Ramen Chicken Soup. The Broccoli Slaw is a mixture of broccoli, carrots and cabbage, so it's loaded with nutrition. It's super easy and inexpensive recipe. It always gets rave reviews when served! It makes 7 cups or 14 1/2 servings. |

Winter Vegetable Beef StewThis is a stew I like to serve on a cold winter day. It's good comfort food that's loaded with vegetables. I use 96 % lean ground beef so it's low in fat & it's not necessary to drain fat from ground beef & onion mixture which is always messy! I use diced; no salt added roma peeled tomatoes & no salt added beef cooking stock. It… |

Chicken Casserole with TarragonThis is a recipe I make using shredded chicken from a rotisserie chicken breast. I serve it over large baked flakey biscuit halves, so it's like a chicken pot pie without having to make the pie part.

Mexican Chicken SoupThis is a super easy, healthy, & inexpensive soup to make. It can be made spicier by using medium or hot salsa instead of mild salsa; but be sure to get thick & chunky salsa. For the 2 cups of cooked chicken breast, I cut up the breasts (about 2 large size) while they are… |

Mini Carrot Cake CupcakesThis is a revised version of the Joy of Baking Carrot Cupcake Recipe. I omitted the chopped walnuts & added raisins instead to reduce the fat of the cupcake part. I omitted butter & powdered sugar from cream cheese frosting & added honey instead to reduce fat & sugar. It's important to use freshly grated carrots to keep them moist. I… |
