Original Recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Tuna-Patty-Burgers-28025

1 Can Tuna, Drained
1 Egg
About 2 T Bread Crumbs*
Parmesan Cheese
Fresh Black Pepper

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Shape into Patties and pan fry.

* - due to regular bread crumbs containing a TON of additives, I've decided to toast a piece of Ezekiel bread or Pita bread and use that as crumbs.

** - I used 1 Celery stalk in this, but i think green onion would also be really good. Carrot is a bit high in carbs so you might want to avoid it since there is bread in the patties and you'll also be eating bread with it most likely.

Original Recipe: http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/biscuit-and-sausage-bake-recipe.htm

For this recipe I didn't measure my blueberries. The batter was so stiff that I basically had to knead the blueberries and dough together. I had a package leftover in the freezer so I dumped them all in. Aldi's carries a Brown and Serve package of sausage links for 79 cents. 7 in the box. I cooked them in a little water and then chopped them up and sprinkled on the top. You could probably just as easily crumble cooked sausage on top if you wanted. The recipe also said it only needed 22 minutes to bake. I'm not sure what happened, but I probably ended up baking this for 40 minutes. I'd keep an eye on it, and adjust as needed after the 22 minutes.

2 C Baking Mix (Bisquick, Jiffy, etc)
1/2 C Milk
1 Egg
1 t Vanilla Extract
1 C Fresh or Frozen Blueberries
6 Fully Cooked Sausage Links, Chopped
Maple Syrup

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine baking mix, milk, egg, and extract. Batter will be very stiff. Mix in blueberries. Transfer to a sprayed 8x8 baking pan. Sprinkle sausage on top. Bake until lightly browned on top. Serve with maple syrup.

I ended up using 12 oz of regular wide egg noodles. Didn't want to waste and Alid's only carried the wide version. I substituted ground ginger for the gingerroot, which also seemed okay. Next time I'm going to double the peanut butter sauce and leave out the carrots. I cooked the dish for a long time, but never really got the carrots soft like I like them. I also ended up using two cans of cooked, cubed, chicken which turned out fine. Didn't use the peanuts or cilantro.

1/2 C Creamy Peanut Butter
1 t Ground Ginger

16 oz cooked chicken or turkey

Prepare noodles according to package direction. Drain--leave in colander and return pan to stove.

Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, ginger, red pepper flakes, 1/4 C Soy sauce and beat with a wire whisk or fork until smooth and creamy. Add remaining soy sauce and water and mix well to combine.

In reserved pan, saute broccoli, mushrooms, and pepper until desired tenderness is reached. Add noodles, chicken, and peanut butter sauce to pan. Mix well and heat through.

Original Recipe: http://www.recipezaar.com/Banana-Pudding-67781

This recipe calls for a lot of stirring. I'd highly recommend a hand-held mixer.

2 (7 1/4 ounce) bags Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Cookies
2 cups milk
1 (5 ounce) box French vanilla instant pudding***
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed or sweetened whipped cream+++

Line the bottom of a 13 by 9 by 2-inch dish with 1 bag of cookies and layer bananas on top. In a bowl, combine the milk and pudding mix and blend well using a hand held electric mixer. Using another bowl, combine the cream cheese and condensed milk together and mix until smooth.

Fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Add the cream cheese mixture to the pudding mixture and stir until well blended. Crush the second bag of cookies. Gently mix in half the cookie bits into the pudding mixture. Pour the mixture over the cookies and bananas.

Top with remaining crushed cookies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Original Recipe: Taste of Home Family Favorite Recipe Cards, Pg. 6

The funny thing about this recipe is that the taste of home recipe in the book doesn't match the recipe on the website--even though the photo is the same. I will see if I can scan the photo of the book, for now here is the website http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Arroz-Con-Pollo which is a bit different.


1 (14.5 oz) Can Diced Tomatoes, Drained
½ C Onion, Chopped
4 t Minced Garlic

1-1/2 C Uncooked Long Grain Rice
3 C Chicken Broth
1 Can Peas, Drained

Mix together tomatoes, onion, garlic, ½ t salt, oregano, chili powder, and ¼ t pepper until smooth. Sprinkle chicken with remaining salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken in batches in 2 T oil for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove and keep warm.

In the same skillet sauté rice for 2 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in broth. In a dutch oven, heat the remaining oil. Add tomato mixture. Bring to a boil, cook and sti for about 4 minutes. Stir in rice mixture; bring to a boil.

Arrange chicken in pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook for 25-30 minutes or until rice is tender and chicken juices run clear. Stir in peas. Cover and let stand for 4 minutes or until peas are heated through.

Top individual servings with sour cream and cheese if desired.

*** I really think I would have liked this recipe better if I'd used boneless skinless chicken breast or tenderloin. I really don't like the skin and fat (not to mention bones) of regular chicken. Unfortunately buying 4 pounds of chicken breast and cutting it into bite size pieces is a bit on the expensive side, so perhaps next time I will make half a batch.

1/4 C Brown Sugar

Combine everything but the meat in a small bowl and mix until smooth.

Place meat in the bottom of a foil lined Lasagna pan. This dish gets messy so use foil for easy clean up.

Pour the sauce over the meat and coat evenly using your hands. Cover with more foil.

Bake in 375F oven for 1 hour, turning the meat over every 15 minutes and stirring the sauce a bit so it doesn't burn.

If the sauce seems a little thin, and not like a glaze, then pour it into a skillet and heat it on high until it thickens.
I've added the sauce into canned baked beans which also goes well this dish.
