[blparent] meals and snacks

Mon Aug 29 03:11:27 UTC 2011

I bought some bacon to try out this recipe, can't wait.

Reminds me of another recipe I often use.  Lay pork chops in the bottom of a 
pan.  Size of pan depends on how many chops you use, since you want to cover 
the whole bottom of the pan.  I like using boneless chops myself, but you 
don't have to.  Then slice several potatoes as thinly as you can--I want to 
get one of those chip makers from Pampered Chef to make slicing easier--and 
onion, if you like it.  Lay the potato slices over the chops.  Make up some 
potato soup from a can or a dry packet, maybe a little thicker than you 
usually would.  Pour the soup over, cover the pan with foil, bake till 
potatoes are tender, which depends on the thinness of the slices.  Maybe 45 
minutes, average.  It's a crowd pleaser.

>> It's kind of a broad question because it depends on what you and your

>> whole

>> tuna and bake for 30 minutes or so, till hot.

>> Another easy recipe that involves baking is to pour a half a cup of 
>> uncooked
>> rice into a baking pan, then add a cup of water or milk and a can of 
>> cream
>> of mushroom soup.  Stir the mixture together, add some canned or frozen
>> veggies if you want, or some canned mushrooms.  Lay chicken pieces on top 
>> of
>> the rice mixture and bake, covered with aluminum foil, about an hour or 
>> till
>> rice is tender and chicken is done.

>> are a place to start.  You could also try using dinner kits such as Tuna
>> Helper, which are fairly filling and easy to make.  For directions, check
>> out www.directionsforme.org
>> .  Anjelina posted  the site to the list a little while back, and it's
>> handy.  There are canned meals such as Le Choi Chinese food or stew or 
>> chili
>> that just have to be heated up, and jarred spaghetti sauces and frozen
>> meatballs that are easy to put together.  Just heat the meatballs in the
>> sauce, boil up some spaghetti, and dinner's done.
>>
>> Bran also posted an accessible family recipe site.  It's
>> www.mealmakeovermoms.com.  I haven't had a chance to explore it too much,
>> but it looks accessible.

>> Good luck,
