I pick up a roasted chicken from the supermarket's deli. They also have lots of salads that I like such as their potato salad. We like green beans to go with this too. A dessert of some sort or ice cream.
CHOP SUEY CASSEROLE
1 8 oz package egg noodles
1 lb lean ground beef or chuck
1 tsp olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 1/2 cups diced celery
1 green bell, finely chopped
salt and pepper, to taste
garlic and onion powder, to taste
1 can Campbell's Tomato Soup
dash teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup grated American cheese
Bring 5-6 quarts water to a boil then add a tablespoon of salt. Boil noodles according to package directions until al denté (slightly firm). Drain.
Brown ground beef or chuck in olive oil with onions, garlic, celery and green pepper, being careful not to allow garlic to brown to avoid a bitter taste. Cook until meat has browned and vegetables are tender. Drain off any excess oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper (and garlic and onion powder, if desired - don't overdo).
In a buttered casserole dish, alternate meat and vegetable mixture, noodles, and grated cheese. Combine soup with Worcestershire sauce and pour over layered casserole. Sprinkle with a layer of cheese.
Bake in a 325°F degree oven for 45 minutes.
home made chicken fried steak that my wife makes w/mashed potatoes and green beans, my fav. that i cook is grilled steaks w/ homemade biscuits and baked patatoes
Veal parm and pasta. It's so simple - I call the takeout joint around the corner. =)
My favorite meal is homemade chicken or turkey and noodles! For the best quick and easy noodles use canned broth or stock, a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and some frozen or canned peas and carrots!
I also love grilled chicken breast and parmesan tilapia fillets!
This grilled BBQ chicken breast is very flavorful.
4 chicken breast fillets
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
Combine sauce, honey, mayonnaise, garlic and ginger.
Add chicken fillets to bowl and until well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
Put chicken on oiled grill plate and bbq for approximately 5 minutes each side (longer if using large breasts), brushing occasionally with the marinade.
For a tasty fish fillet try this!
Dust 4 boneless white fish fillets in 1/2 cup flour. Coat with 1 beaten egg. Combine 1 cup dry breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 1 tbsp chopped mixed herbs of your choice, and 1 tbsp chopped nuts of your choice. After coating the fish in flour and egg, coat with the crumb mixture. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the fish on it. Bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.
Enjoy!
