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. |

Chicken Tender Rollups with Bacon WrapThe basic version of this recipe abounds on the Internet, using boneless chicken breasts and gouda cheese. I tweaked it to use what I had on hand, and that was chicken tenders. The resulting rollups are smaller, almost luncheon size, and you can use the cheese you prefer if no gouda's available - Swiss, cheddar, jack, mozzarella.… |

Quick Meatloaf & PotatoesStart to finish this can be on the table in 30 minutes, which represents 15 minutes of prep and 15 minutes cook time in the microwave. This meal-in-one recipe comes from the heyday of microwave cooking in the 80's and 90's, and is always a family pleaser. Of course it can be baked in a 350 degree F. conventional oven instead, for an… |

Pecan-Crusted Salmon Fillets with Honey Mustard SauceSalmon can be dressed up for company or simply broiled or grilled plainly and be equally divine. This treatment features a crunchy crust of pecans atop the fillet, which is baked on a bed of spinach. *Next time I will steam the spinach separately to have more control of its doneness as on my first go-round it was overbaked (but the… |

Savory Herb MeatloafI keep Stove Top stuffings on hand to use in place of leftover breadcrumbs, so I decided to add some to a meatloaf recipe. It turned out very tasty. Will be liked by kids who don't like "things" like onions. |

Oven Baked Chicken ParmesanEasy to prepare, lower calorie version of this dish. For maximum tenderness, I recommend brining the breasts in 2 qts. water and 1/2 C table salt for 1 to 1 1/2 hours and rinsing them in cold water for several minutes. Or, take a kitchen mallet or rolling pin and put the whammy on 'em. |

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… |

Chicken Teriyaki Stir FryThis recipe was featured in "30 Minute Meals" (Rachael Ray Magazine 6/15) and we agreed it's a keeper. I didn't meet the half hour timeline though, because while the cooking is fast, there's measuring and chopping to accomplish. Nevertheless I think you'll enjoy serving this healthy and satisfying stir fry. Note: Beef or pork would… |

Perfect for anytime, and especially for Octoberfest. To serve several guests, I made the meatballs, cooked them and refrigerated a day ahead. About an hour before serving time, I spooned the… |
