Crunchy Chicken Rice CasserolePutting leftovers together with pantry and fridge basics one evening I came up with this family pleaser. Water chestnuts and almonds provide the crunch. A green veggie side and/or tossed salad round out this weeknight dinner perfectly. |

Three Cheese Macaroni & CheeseAn unusual recipe ingredient caught my attention when I saw this on the Internet and after trying it out the recipe went straight to my rotation FAVS.

Baked Rice PuddingWe enjoyed this version of rice pudding, brought to a family dinner by my sister-in-law. For my tastes it’s best the day it’s made, so when there’s a crowd or potluck event, consider this ultimate comfort food for dessert. |

Easy Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken With Quick SlawA new twist on an old favorite - chicken and coleslaw - from Delmarva Poultry Industries Inc. I tried it using 2 different crumb coatings (corn flakes and panko) and found the corn flake crumbs gave better color and overall results.

Peanutty Oatmeal CookiesA different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly. |

Budget Cooking
I love to cook with fresh, healthy ingredients. But I also live in the real world, and sometimes we all need those quick, easy, processed-food-laden, budget meals. Here's a place to share them.
