Cranberry Chicken

Mix together 16 oz can of cranberry sauce, 1 cup french dressing and i pkg onion soup mix.

Cut up chicken into strips. Pour sauce over chicken and bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes.

This is a great freezer meal. Place in baggies and then pull out and bake later.

This was great over rice. I would rate it about a 7 or 8.

Chicken-Spinach Pockets with Gravy

This is good for any kind of leftovers.

I rolled out pop biscuits and placed in the middle some cooked spinach (frozed, thawed and water sqeezed out), chicken and onion cooked in a little red pepper flakes and olive oil.

I baked it at 350 for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.

For a gravy I mixed a little flour and butter and then added some chicken broth and salt and pepper.

I would rate it about a 5. Not but, but I could do something better. Maybe different filling or pop biscuits.

Broccoli Stuffed Potatoes

2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup shredded cheese
3 cups chopped, cooked broccoli
1 cup chopped, cooked ham
4- 6 baked potatoes

In a small saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir to make a smooth paste. Stir in milk and cook over low heat until thickened. Add mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir in cheese and cook until melted. Fold in broccoli and ham. Serve over hot baked potatoes.

I would rate this a 7. You could probably put this over pasta or turn it into a casserole by adding hashbrowns on the bottom and then pouring this on top and sprinkling with cheese and breadcrumbs.

Zucchini Soup with Bruschetta

Bruschetta

I did this a while ago and can't really remember EVERYTHING i put in it. I will try. Great northern white beans, parsley, lemon juice, salt, garlic. I pureed it together and put in on toasted bread.


Curried Zucchini Soup

2 pounds of zucchini, sliced (about 4)
5 green onions, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1-2 tablespoons butter or margarine (optional)
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

In a large saucepan, combine all ingrediants. Simmer, covered, until zucchini is soft (about 15 minutes). Puree in SMALL batches in a blender on low speed; return to pan and heat through.

I might have added a little too much cayenne pepper so it was a little spicy. You can omit the cayenne pepper altogether if you don't like the kick it gives.

It froze great. I would rate it a 8 out of 10. It has a light feeling and went great with the bruschetta. I dipped the bread in the soup.

Grapenut-Basil Chicken

I cut up chicken into bite size cubes.

In a small bowl I mixed together parsley and grapenut cereal. I tossed the chicken in a little olive oil and rolled it in the grapenut mixture and baked it at 350 for about 20 minutes, flipping half way through.

I would rate it about a 7.
