Creamy garlic pasta

Image
This recipe uses the creamy garlic sauce that I used on the pork in a previous entry. With some added spices it makes a great pasta sauce! All you do is make the sauce as instructed in my previous post (as much as you need) but add a little more garlic salt and some extra spices I also added a can of cream of chicken soup because mine came out too garlicy and bland. Mix it with some mozzarella cheese and add to pasta for a simple, yummy, home made meal!!!

Mamas chicken and rice

Image
This recipe is very similar to something my mom has made forever - although neither of us actually has a recipe for it. You can use whatever type of rice you like, you can even put it on top of mashed potatoes if you prefer. Cut up two chicken breasts into bite sized pieces and place them in a large, deep pan. Cut up half of a red, green and orange pepper, one small white onion, and whatever other vegetables you like and add to the pan. Add some BBQ sauce - my home made sauce is really good on this and so is Diana's or Heinz chicken and rib sauce. You can play with the flavours as well - of you prefer something lighter you can use Greek dressing orn Italian dressing. Add some spices, such as garlic, celery salt, lemon pepper, and whatever else you like, and add a little water so that you have a nice thin sauce for on top of the rice. Cook your rice and place the chicken and veggies on top of it with some extra sauce and VOILÁ!

Cheesy scalloped potatos

Image
Mix in a bowl one small can of cream of mushroom soup, one can full of water, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and 4 crushed garlic cloves. Chop up 1 and a half cups of velveeta cheese (or whatever cheese you like). Chop three large potatoes into coin shapes And place a layer in a baking pan. Sprinkle with BBQ seasoning, garlic salt and celery salt and add some cheese and some chopped onion. Pour some of the liquid mixture over top, just enough to cover. Repeat this process in layers until all of the ingredients are gone.

Veggies and rice part 2!

I cooked the rice in the normal way that you would, what I did differently was the vegetables. I cut up half of one green pepper, some green beans, one small white onion and two cloves of garlic. Melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a frying pan and add the veggies and garlic. Season with BBQ seasoning, celerity salt, garlic salt and Thai seasoning. Add some Catalina salad dressing and BBQ sauce and cook until veggies are soft. Mix everything together and enjoy!

Spaghetti and garlic bread

Image
So this is pretty standard spaghetti I just added a few things. I started with two pounds of lean ground beef and I cooked it in a frying pan with half of a chopped onion and three chopped cloves or garlic. Cook until meat is browned. While browning, add some garlic salt, celery salt, Thai seasoning and BBQ chicken seasoning. I used spaghetti sauce from a can but I used two different kinds. I had garlic and herb and a Parmesan cheese flavour. Mix them together in a big pot and add one half of a small container of garlic and herb cream cheese. Cook the noodles until al dente and add everything together. For the garlic bread I used hot dog buns and just spread with butter and sprinkle on garlic salt. Broil in the oven until golden brown and crispy.

Chicken breast, crispy potatoes and fried spinach

Image
I'm going to be honest, this isn't my favorite dish I've ever made. I didn't like the spinach at all but others liked it so as long as you can handle the texture and strong garlic flavour you're good. To make the potatoes just cut about 6 potatoes into bite sized pieces, place them in a baking dish an sprinkle some olive oil, BBQ chicken seasoning, garlic salt, and bread crumbs. Chop about 1/4 of an onion up and put it in with the potatoes. Bake in the oven at 400 for about an hour or until soft. For the chicken you just need to season it and bake it with the potatoes. You make the sauce afterwards. To make the spinach, you need a large bag of spinach, two garlic cloves, and 2-3 tablespoons of butter. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and add a half or a third of the garlic and half or third of the spinach (depending on the size of your pan). Fry the spinach until wilted. To make the sauce for the chicken, take a can of cream of mushroom soup, put...
