Anyone care to share recipes? I'm all about quick and easy but yummy..

I'll go first:

Mac n' Cheese

3 cups pasta (elbow macaroni or shells or whatever)

2 cups milk

2 tbsp butter

1/4 cup flour

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

8 oz pkg Velveeta


Cook pasta until al dente, drain and set aside.

In saucepan melt butter and slowly incorporate flour, cook approximately 3 minutes but do not let it burn or turn brown. Start adding milk and stir until there are no more clumps of flour & butter. Add Velveeta chunks and shredded cheese, cook until smooth and creamy.

Grease cooking dish. Mix cheese and pasta together, add to pan. Cook at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

I called it Easy Chicken Bruschetta:

- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1.5 lb chicken breasts/thighs thawed
- 1 box Stovetop stuffing (I use Savory Herbs)
- Shredded mozzarella

Preheat over 350. Dice chicken.

In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes including the liquid with stuffing mix. Mix well.

Grease 9X13 casserole dish. Add chicken to dish, creating a single layer. Cover chicken layer with tomato/stuffing mixture. Bake for 30-40 minutes. Once Chicken is cooked, top with cheese. Bake for another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Or breakfast, only you use a second package of bacon, and dinner is bacon WITH a bun, right?

I recommend asking if the Natalie's Nummies cookbooks can still be purchased, by the way. Great cookbook compiled by a fellow BOLer with recipes from family, friends, and BOLers too!

Beef. It's what's for dinner.

Chicken kebabs:

1. marinate cubes of chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, white wine, tarragon, garlic, S&P.
2. skewer with veggies.
3. grill until done.

As a beef producer, I thank you for your support!

We do this, except we use whole breasts, grill the veggies and breasts without skewers, and replace the tarragon with oregano and a little thyme.

This is a cornbread recipe I came up with....
1 10" cast iron skillet
1 box of jiffy cornbread mix
1/3 cup of milk
Two tblspns of honey
Three strips of finely diced bacon
One finely diced jalepeno
One finely diced green chili
1/4 of a finely diced white onion
A handful of shredded cheddar

First render the bacon in the skillet till crispy. Add about a quarter of the peppers and onions. Fish them out and put in a mixing bowl and transfer the skillet full of bacon fat to a 420 degree oven while you mix the other stuff all together in the mixing bowl. let the mixture rest for a few minutes then pour it directly in the hot bacon grease. Then bake until it rises and is golden brown with a gorgeous brown crust. Serve with real butter and honey!
