Crunchy Mac and cheese casserole with garlic toast

So this recipe is one I just sort of made up as I went: it started out as just pasta and ended up being a sort of macaroni and cheese casserole.

You will need:

One bag of macaroni noodles
Two cans of cream of mushroom or chicken soup
One medium white onion chopped finely
3-5 garlic cloves chopped finely
1 tablespoon of garlic salt
2 cups of cheddar or mozzarella cheese
1-2 cups of seasoned bread crumbs or crushed garlic croutons
2 tablespoons of margarine

Sauté onions and garlic in a pot in the butter until onions have browned. Add the cans of soup and one can of water. add the cheese and garlic salt and simmer until cheese is melted, stirring often.

Cook pasta until el Dante, rinse and strain and add to casserole dish.
Add in the sauce and stir until even distributed.

Top with bread crumbs and bake in the oven until browned.

For the bread you need:

Four Indian naan breads
4-5 garlic cloves
4 tablespoons of olive oil
1.5 tablespoons of garlic salt
1.5 tablespoons of parmesan cheese

Chop up your garlic and put it in a bowl with the olive oil. Microwave for about one minute or until you can really smell it.

Brush each naan on both sides with infused olive oil and top with some garlic salt and parmesan cheese (and any other spices you like).
Bake in the oven until golden and crispy.

Pierogies and Scrambled Eggs

Image
I absolutely LOVE pierogies, but I've always made them the same way; boil and then fry them. So this time, I decided to try something new, and pair them with some scrambled eggs for breakfast (or lunch). You will need: Ready-made pierogies (or home made, if you prefer)\ BBQ chicken seasoning Garlic salt Celery salt Two eggs (per person, I only made for me :P) 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese Butter or Pam for greasing the pan First, boil the pierogies until they are soft (cooked inside and no longer frozen). Grease a baking pan and place the pierogies on the pan. Sprinkle with chicken, celery and garlic seasoning on both sides and top with some mozzarella cheese. Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and pierogies have become slightly browned.  To make the eggs, crack them and put them in a small bowl, add a splash of milk, some BBQ seasoning, and the rest of the cheese, and mix until the eggs are all mixed together. Put in a frying pan stirring often to...

Garlic Basil Chicken with Tomato Butter Sauce (stolen and revised)

So I started off cooking this meal exactly as the recipe stated, but I didn't have all the exact ingredients, and the flavours just weren't where I wanted them to be, so I made some changes. I'll post the link to the original recipe, and then write out what I did below. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures this time! The only downfall of this recipe is that it's a bit time-consuming. However, you could always cook the chicken ahead of time, which would help. Original recipe is here . INGREDIENTS 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts salt and pepper 2 tsp garlic salt 2 tsp lemon pepper 2 tsp paprika 1/4 cup of half&half cream ¼ cup olive oil 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 small white onion, minced 3 tbsp dried basic  ¼ cup margerine 8 ounces pasta, like spaghetti, linguine, or bucatini (I used spaghettini) 1/2 cup of mushroom Ragu (if needed) INSTRUCTIONS Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and pound each p...

Cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped pork loin

Image
This is comfort food; there is nothing healthy about this.  I had a pack of nine of those small boneless pork loin chops and decided to do something super unhealthy with it! For 9 rolls, you need: 9 chops 1 package of garlic and herb cream cheese 1/2 cup of sweet BBQ sauce  1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese  1 teaspoon of garlic salt 1 pack of bacon Begin by tenderizing the meat to flatten it out. You can use whatever tools you have that work to do this; a meat tenderizer is ideal though.  Mix the cheese, cream cheese and garlic salt together in a bowl.  Spoon about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the centre of each pork chop, and roll it up. Coat it in BBQ sauce.  Wrap two slices of bacon around each pork chop roll.  Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. If the bacon is not sufficiently crispy, put the oven on broil for a few minutes.
