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. |

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… |

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. |

Crispy Horseradish Mahi MahiThis was soooo good. This crust would be great on chicken too. I used whole hashbrowns, but I think I would recommend cutting them into smaller pieces. This is adapted from diabeticconnet.com |

Zucchini Turkey BurgersWhen I've made turkey burgers in the past, they've always seemed to turn out dry. The zucchini adds tons of moisture without adding flavor. This is my new go-to way of making turkey burgers. If you don't like the flavors in the recipes, it's so easy to sub in you're own. I can't wait to experiment more!! |
