15 recipes

These two are in my repertoire:

  1. Chicken Pasta with Broccoli and Carrots
  2. Turkey Meatloaf

These I created:
  1. Tacos: can use ground beef or Turkey.  Brown.  Add 2 tbsp seasoning.  serve with tortillas, shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, shredded lettuce.
  2. Guacamole: McCormick seasoning packet.  two ripe avocados, mix in food processor, as Jared likes it mousse like.
  3. Chicken Salad: leftover cooked chicken, mayonnaise, celery and/or onion, craisins, salt, pepper, dill weed.  Mix together.
  4. Spaghetti with Meat Sauce.  Can use ground beef or turkey.  brown, drain fat, add jar of veggie pasta sauce.  Meanwhile cook spaghetti.  Serve sauce over pasta, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  5. Mac & Cheese Primavera: Velveeta, cooked chicken, frozen veggies, garlic salt, pepper, pasta.  Cook pasta, add frozen veggies last couple of minutes. Drain.  on low heat, add cubed Velveeta, seasonings and chicken.  Stir until cheese has melted and chicken is heated through
  6. Casserole: Meat, pasta or rice, cream of something soup, frozen veggies, seasonings, some milk or water sometimes cheese on top. Bake 375 for 45-55 minutes
  7. Meatloaf: 1.5 lbs ground turkey or beef.  Breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, seasonings, diced carrots. Bake 375 for 50 minutes.
  8. Salad: 1-2 heads romaine lettuce, cut up and put through the salad spinner.  pick from these veggies, but try to get a variety of colors: tomatoes, red pepper, carrots, orange pepper, yellow pepper (you already have green from the lettuce).  Sometimes I  use bagged lettuce with purple lettuce in it, or cabbage.  If you are trying to use up other veggies like onion or celery that can go in too.  Croutons, shredded parmesan cheese (in the specialty cheese section).  Good Seasonings Italian Dressing, in the carafe but the store brand; about half the bottle.  Craisins. put all ingredients in the bowl and mix.  Sometimes I'll add chicken or bacon bits, sunflower seeds.
I didn't get to all 15 but 10 is a good start.  I'll finish this next time around.
