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. |

Zucchini Meatballs in Cream Sauce - Microwave Quick!Several good reasons to save this recipe: to use up zucchini; to keep the kitchen cool by microwaving the main dish; and because the meatballs are loaded with veggies, are moist and creamy. This is one of my two all-time FAVS from the peak microwave cookbook era of the 80's and 90's. If you prefer, use homemade cream sauce in place of… |

Baked Penne with VegetablesReminiscent of lasagna but loaded with veggies, this dish will take center stage at group gatherings. It makes good use of summer's zucchini surplus, so file the recipe away in your stash of squash faves. Don't let the cauliflower put you off - it is so well camouflaged that while many noticed the zucchini, no one detected cauliflower… |

Red Beans & Rice with SalsaA one-dish meal or side to meat or fish, red beans and brown rice are perfect partners. The salsa is a bonus to have as a garnish for the beans and rice or as a chip dip alongside. This recipe is from "In the Kitchen with Rosie (Daley): Oprah's Favorite Recipes," and posting it aligns with my resolution to peruse then use more… |

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. The buttermilk marinade makes the chicken moist and tender. |

Tallerine CasseroleTallerine, talerine, tallerini...I’ve no idea of the spelling or origin of this vintage casserole but it remains a crowd pleaser yet today. I’ve tweaked my 70's recipe somewhat ~ it’s one of those recipes that adapts easily to variations. |

Honey Rosemary ChickenI really liked the marinade/glaze and its rosemary and balsamic flavors. If preferred, substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts and/or thighs or other chicken parts (baking time for smaller or thicker pieces will need to be adjusted.) This recipe will lend itself to your busy schedule: (1) Marinate the chicken in fridge while you… |

Meat Loaf with Sweet Potatoes and PineappleNo boring meatloaf dinner here! Sweet potatoes and pineapple slices baked with meatloaf make for an unusual twist in this meal-in-one-dish. Use all beef, or part ground pork, reduced-fat pork sausage, veal, etc. Tomato paste may seem an odd ingredient for meatloaf and too concentrated, but it works well here for flavor, sweetness and… |

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.
