Recipes my family would like?!

Here are a few E-Z recipes you might want to try!. Good Luck & enjoy!.

COLA CHICKEN
(And more variations of recipe…my preference…wings or ribs)

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup catsup
1 12oz!. can cola (pepsi, coke, etc!.)

Put chicken in a non-stick pan!.
Mix together catsup and cola, pour over chicken!.
Bring to a boil!. Cover, reduce heat and cook 45 minutes!.
(turning chicken a few times, while cooking!.!.!.to prevent from sticking to pan)
Uncover, turn up the heat and continue to cook until the sauce
becomes thick and adheres to the chicken!.
It turns into the most incredible BBQ sauce!. Yummmm!

You can double the recipe and use more pieces of
chicken!.!.!.!.wings!.!.!.would be ideal!.!.!.add some hot sauce!.!.!.!.presto "Hot Wings"!

I have used Ribs, just as good!.

I tried this recipe with 'meatballs'!.!.!.!.was equally
as good!.!.!.served over rice!.
I found another variation!.!.!.!.!.omit the catsup and add a small jar of Salsa (any variety)!.
I have tried using Salsa (omitting the catsup!.!.!.!.not)!.
You'd think a recipe with only '3' ingredients couldn't be messed up!.!.!.!.wouldn't you!?!?
Well!.!.!.while I was preparing to fix the 'Cola Chicken' recipe
using Salsa!.!.!.!.!.I was also trying to carry on a conversation with my
husband!.!.!.(just proves!.!.!.I can't do two things at once)!.!.!.!.mixed Salsa & Catsup (before I realized I was supposed to leave out the catsup) & Cola!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.still turned out really tasty (to me)!.!.!.might be a little sweeter than some of you like!.

I fixed chicken wings, (using the above recipe)
but!.!.!.I added the spices from a MILD (I don't care for "HOT") Buffalo Wings packet!.!.!.(the kind you get to bake in the oven)!.!.!.!.!.I thought it was really good!.!.!.!.!.(but you/I can't find a 'bad' way to fix chicken)!.

Finally!.!.!.!.!! I fixed the 'SALSA' chicken!.!.!.!.!.!.that's good , too!.
Another (bright)idea!.!.!.!.!.I thought of trying!.!.!.!.!.!.replace the
catsup with a bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce!.!.!.and add a bag of (pop corn) shrimp!.!.!.!.!.!
Fixed the shrimp with cocktail sauce!.!.!.!.!.!.eh!.!.!.wasn't all that
great!.!.!.was OK!.!.!.probably won't be fixing it again!.
also tried beef stew cuts!.!.!.!.!.!.that was pretty good!.!.!.!.!.I can see
myself making this again!.
Served both over rice!.!.!.!.!.think the stew cuts would have been just as
good over noodles!.
Try little cocktail wieners/sausages…for appetizers!.
Pork chops…porksteaks!.

Hey, you could got to marthastewart!.com and type family recipies, or I could just give you some really simple recipies!.!.!.

S'mores:

Get a masrshmallow!. Microwave it for 15 seconds!. (optional)
To melt chocolate,put it on a plate, on top of a bowl of hot water!. Or microwave it!. Though it may explode, so try 5 seconds!. Like always, put it between graham crackers
OR vanilla (nilla) wafer cookies!.

Spaghetti & tomatoe sauce:

Buy a box of spaghetti!. (Barilla is my fave brand)
Now cook it!.!.!.

Fill water halfway to the top in a pot!. On the stove!. Turn on the heat / fire!. Drop 1 chicken bullion cube into the pot!. (you usually use it for soups, it flavors it in a salty chicken way!.)

Once the water is at a rolling boil(that should take about 10 minutes), or is bubbling much, put your desired amount of spaghetti in the pot!. Then, stir and turn the heat lower!. Push the spaghetti in,a little!.Just stir once in a while until it boils again!. When it boils, again, turn heat off, and if the spaghetti is wobbly, just drain the water, put it on plates, pour some sauce or cheese, and eat!

BLT:

Easy!. Bacon, Lettuce, Tomatoes!. If they don't like it, add ketchup! IF you don't know how to cook bacon, it should have directions on the container!. Oh, remember to slice the tomatoe!.


French toast:

Get a piece of bread!. Preferably white bread!. Then, in one bowl, put 1 forkful or cornstarch and 1 forkful of powdered sugar!. Crack one or 2 eggs (depends on how much you make) Pour some milk up to half of the bowl!. Now stir and beat it with a fork!. Now place a pan on the stove, put a little butter on it and spread it with a spatula!. Finally, dip the bread on the flat side of it!. now put it on the pan!. once it's sizzling - ish, flip it with spatula!. Just keep flipping and sizzling until golden brown or toasted!.


Shirley Temple:

Get some grenadine, (non-alchoholic flavoring CHERRY SYRUP) and put a spoon ful into a glass of SPRITE, stir it, add some ice cubes,and maybe a cherry to make it fancy!.



That's it!.!.!. i gave you a whole day's worth of meals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Very easy dinner from your cupboard

1 can (medium to large) Salmon or tuna
2 or 3 cans of italian tomatoes, if they are whole, squish them
1 large onion diced
a cup of frozen peas or zuchinni, or whatever is green
a diced bell pepper/capsicum if you find one in the fridge
1 and a half packets of pasta

In a saucepan big enough for all except the pasta!.
oil, fry onion, add garlic if you like, add capsicum & zuch & whatever needs cooking and cook slowly on low to med, remember you can't unburn stuff, when it looks at least half done add your tomatoes and stir, add some dried Italian herbs if you find any, half a teaspoon is great, add pepper and a pinch of sugar and some salt, only a little!. Bubble this away for about 20 then add your Salmon (skin & bones rememoved if any) or your drained tuna (kitty gets the juice) and your frozen peas!. While all this is going on, cook pasta and drain, then add back to its empty pot!. Remember to add some of the more liquid of the sauce to pasta so it doesn't form a huge mass, then stir thru the hot sauce to coat pasta well and bowl up and add more sauce on top!. This can be made with bacon instead of salmon/tuna!. or ground chicken or beef!. The sauce is light so mum should be ok!. Make a green side salad!. The whole thing including chopping should take you no more than 45 minutes!. Good luck sweetie and bless you for thinking of your mum & family!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Chili-Mac is super easy and assuming your family eats meat, it's a sure-bet with almost anyone!. I've never served it to anyone (young or old) who didn't like it!. Depending on how hungry everyone is, you might need to make a double recipe, but a single recipe (as listed below) should be enough!.!.!.especially if you serve a salad or something along with it!.

Boil a box of macaroni in salted water!. It will take about 8-10 minutes to cook, once it begins to boil!. Drain and set macaroni aside!.

In a large skillet, brown one pound of ground beef!. Once the meat is no longer pink and is crumbled in the pan, stir in a packet of taco seasoning mix!. Mix well!. Add a can (do not drain) of petite diced tomatoes or crushed tomatoes (the 15oz sized can)!. Stir in a half of a can of whole kernel corn!. Mix the pasta into the meat!. Serve hot with grated cheddar cheese!.

It's easy and hard to mess up! :) Hope this helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

the onion turns translucent!.
2!. Add the bacon (or lightly cooked chicken) and mushrooms
3!. Add the cream and ? cup of water or wine
