I have been in search of some quick easy dinner recipes lately, I think it is because I am pregnant and get more sick in the evening than I do in the morning, so dinner is always a struggle for me to make when I am feeling yucky. The other day Rice-A-Roni was on sale. This isn't something that I usually stock in my pantry, but I walked by it at the store and was reminded of a dish my mom use to make. I don't know what it is called, but it is super easy and delicious. Here is the recipe:
1 cup (approx.) Cooked chicken (leftover from grilling, shredded, etc.)
Can of green beans (or cooked frozen beans)
1 box Chicken flavored Rice-A-Roni
Cashews
Cook up the Rice-A-Roni according to the package directions. When it is done cooking add the chicken and green beans. Heat through. Top with Cashews. Serve with a yummy salad on the side.
What are some of your favorite quick and easy recipes? I could use some new ideas. :)
Sounds yummy and easy! My kind of dish!
ReplyDeleteA favorite of our family:
ReplyDeleteIn a crock pot:
1 pork tenderloin, braised before hand
1 onion, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
salt and pepper
Cook at least 6 hours on high, shred pork and just before serving squeeze one lime over everything.
Serve in flour tortillas, with cheese, salsa and avocado.
Another easy one in crock pot:
1 bottle Bone Suckin Sauce
Pork
Cook until meat is done, shred and serve over rice.
Yum. Easy and ingredients I actually have at home = my new favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite easy recipe is for Stuffed Pasta Shells
1. Mix about 12 oz. cottage cheese with 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese.
2. Boil a box of big pasta shells or manacotti shells.
3. Stuff the cooked pasta with the cheese mixture.
4. Pour a can of spaghetti sauce on top & sprinkle a little mozzarella cheese on it.
5. Cover with foil and cook at 350 for about 40 minutes.
Wa-la! Yummy stuffed pasta shells.

ReplyDeleteWhen I want fast and easy we usually have tacos or spaghetti. I know it sounds gross-but my kids really like Tuna Helper Creamy Broccoli.
