Another great standby in our house is Chicken and waffles. We don't really use a 'recipe' but here's how we make it.
cooked, shredded chicken-I use about 2-3 breasts for my 2 adult/2 child family, you can use any type of chicken meat you prefer, or have handy, we just usually have skinless boneless breasts on hand. Put it in chicken gravy in a pot to heat. We use the powdered gravy mix, only because it takes up less space and we can have some on hand all the time. 3-4 packets for the 2-3 breasts. We used to use the jarred or canned stuff, and a handful of times have made our own from scratch, but found it takes too much time :( We also cheat and use frozen waffles. Again, if you've got a waffle maker they're much better homemade, but this meal is usually about quick & easy, as well as delicious.
Once the gravy and chicken is warmed and the waffles are done, just plate it up and eat it up. Yum Yum.
Don't expect any posts over the weekend, as they're almost always our 'cheat' days (frozen pizza or take out) or leftovers from the week. If anything new is cooked however, there may be a surprise post :)
WELCOME
I often find myself struggling to figure out what to do for dinner. Even when I find a recipe that sounds good, I end up with boring canned veggies, or nothing at all as a side dish. Here you will find recipes I've tried cooking myself, as well as what I've made with them and better yet, the reactions from my family.
A little background info about our tastes:
Personally, my tastes resemble a vegetarian without a conscience. That is, I do not have qualms about eating meat, I just happen to prefer fruits and veggies. I love pasta as well. If I have to choose a favorite meat, its chicken-not only because its cheaper than most others, but because I grew up eating a lot of it and I just gained a taste for it I guess. Favorite Veggie is probably corn, and favorite fruit would probably be bananas. I like trying new things, especially uncommon fruits like mango, guava, starfruit, etc. I do not like fish or any seafood for that matter though, so if you're looking for a good recipe for lobster or crab, you're in the wrong place. Other dislikes include mushrooms and peas, though I'll eat the peas in casseroles if they're not overwhelming. My favorite spice to use is garlic. And yes, I do think it wards off the vampires :D
My husband is about as Anti-Vegetarian as they come. He loves his beef. He has this notion that meat isn't supposed to be sweet, but I'm slowly working on changing his biases. He's also big on seafood and he's a hunter. Cooking for him is hard to do because our tastes differ so much. In addition to loving what I don't, he despises tomatoes, which I love. He dislikes peppers (like green and red), but likes spicy foods.
My 7 year old daughter likes most things she tries, but every now and again I find her "not liking" something I've made. She loves fish. Every kind her dad has made her has been her "new" favorite. She also loves fruits and veggies, especially broccoli. And she loves ketchup, she'd put it on everything if I let her.
My 4 year old daughter has hardly ever met a dish she didn't like. If she doesn't "like" it, its more likely she's tired or just not hungry, than actually not liking it. She likes "circle cheese" (provalone) sandwiches with mustard, not "chetchup." She loves fruits and veggies as well, and is a little less of a meat eater than her sister, but she still eats it most of the time without complaints. She asks for seconds of the veggies though over the meat.
I hope you enjoy getting to know us, or at least find a little inspiration for dinner tonight! Thanks for visiting!
