Answers:
She might be your grand mum but 45 is not old so don't worry - she will love anything you have made because you made it and she loves you!. She wouldn't want you to go worrying!. Have a look through some recipe books, and the suggestion of casserole is good because it looks after itself!. Maybe a wicked dessert would round it all off nicely!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

veggie fajitas

- 1 pack of tortillas
- 1 red, 1 green, and 1 yellow pepper
- 2-3 cooking onions
- store bought teriyaki sauce
- sour cream
- lettace
- salsa
- cheese


1!. First I cut the peppers into strips and the onions into rings!.
2!. Melt a little margerine in a large wok or frying pan!.
3!. Toss in the onions and fry until half cooked (about 3-5 minutes)
4!. Add the peppers and continue to cook until desired crunchiness (my husband likes the veggies limp, but i prefer the peppers to still be a little crunchy)
5!. Add about 1/3 of a bottle of teriyaki sauce!. You have to make sure to buy a thick teriyaki sauce (a lot of the thin ones are really salty - mostly soy sauce) Stir it in over the heat!.
6!. Put together your fahitas!. I like to serve the toppings in a buffet style so people can take what they want!. I have shredded lettace, cheese, salsa, sour cream and sometimes diced tomato!.

p!.s!. my problem is i always try to pack too much into the tortilla :-)
i hope you like them!Www@FoodAQ@Com

casserole! and cobbler!. something easy to chew, haha!.

but yeah I'd say go with casserole!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Steak, baked potato, salad, hot rolls and a nice wine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

45 years old!? hell, take her out for a steak and some dancing or maybe to a male strip show!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Okay sorry this was posted lastnighty but here are some future ideas!.

Crock Pot Chicken Salsa Curry


10 chicken thighs-bone in
1 jar of your fav salsa
1/2 onion chopped
1 tablespoon curry (or about 1/2 if you don't like a strong curry taste)
1/2 cup sour cream

Place the chicken in the crock pot!. Mix the onion, curry and salsa!. Pour over the chicken and cook on low for about 6-8 hours!.

When the chicken is done take it out of the crock pot and put on a serving plate!. Add the sour cream and mix well!. Spoon the sauce over the chicken!.

This would go well with rice or cous cous!.

If you don't have crock pot I would think that you could do this in you oven in a well wrapped pan on low (about 200) check it though since it may cook faster!. I haven't done it in the oven but as I said I think it should work!. I did it in the crock pot and it was awesome!. This recipe is easy to do smaller portions of as well!.

Creamy chicken enchiladas:

1 pound boneless chicken breasts diced
1 8oz package cream cheese cut into cubes
Flour or corn tortillas
1 can diced green chili peppers
ground cumin
1 or 2 can green enchilada sauce
Shredded cheese

Cook the chicken in a skillet and when the chicken is done add the cream cheese, it will melt!. As the cream cheese melts add the green chilis, and a couple of good dashes of cumin!. Continue to heat on low until the cream cheese has melted!.

Fill a tortilla with the chicken mix, roll and place in a baking dish, Continue until the chicken mix is gone!. Top with the enchilada sauce and sprinkle with cheese!. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 min or until the sauce is nice and hot and the cheese is golden and bubbly!.

Mexi-rice:

Use rice that is still warm!.

Heat a skillet or griddle pan to a med-low heat!. Add the rice and your favorite salsa, some olives, corn and ground cumin!. (A great salsa to use would be the kind in the plastic tubs in the produce section, I think it's labeled as "Fresh Salsa" but El Paso or whatever would work as well!.)

Instead of pre-made salsa make your own using roma tomatoes chopped small, red onions, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, finely chopped jalape?o pepper, adding some lime juice, and garlic salt!. You can also do this in the processor but be very careful not to over process because it can end up kind of mushy, and to green from the cilantro!. You can also drain the salsa, or remove the seeds from the tomatoes!. But using the seeds and then draining it would be great flavor enhancers in your rice!. You could even freeze the liquid in ice cube trays (1 cubes equals approx 1 oz) and keep them for future uses!. Then toss this fresh salsa in with the rice and cumin, olives, and corn!.

Serve hot and I like mine with just a sprinkle of melted cheese!.!.!.!.!.yumm!!!
