JELLO-O Magic Mousse

Grandma Naef use to make this for us when we were kids. I use to love watching the "magic" occur as the jello separates from the whipped creme. It was easy to make and tasted so yummy and refreshing too!!

INGREDIENTS:
3 cups boiling water 1 (16 oz) Cool Whip
1 pkg (8 oz) Jello-O


DIRECTIONS:
1. Stir boiling water into dry geletin. Stir till dissolved. Reserve 1 cup of the whipped topping, refrigerate. Add remaining whipped topping to geletin, stir with wire whisk until whipped topping is complete melted and mixture is well blended (Mixture will be thin)

2. Pour into 6 dessert glasses

3. Refrigerate for about 8 hours till firm. Watch for the "magic" happen.... Top with the reserved whipped topping just before serving.

Smashed Potatoes

Ingredients:
Red potatoes
Olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Rosemary (fresh or dried)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil
2. Cut potatoes in half then boil until tender
3. Place potatoes cut side down on the baking sheet then smash with a potato masher just until they flatten but don't break apart.
4. Drizzle each potato with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Then sprinkle on the rosemary.
5. Bake in the oven until lightly brown and slightly crispy. About 20 min.

you can add cheese before you bake them.

Chicken Roulade

Ingredients:
Boneless skinless chicken breast
Spinach
Shredded Parmesan cheese
Minced garlic
Salt, pepper and seasoning salt.
Stove top stuffing mix (follow directions on box)

Yield: Each chicken breast can feed one to two people depending on the size of the breast.

Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of water to boil. Save for chicken

2. Follow package directions for stuffing mix. Before stuffing is completely finished, add in you desired amount of fresh spinach and allow it to wilt. Mix in a generous amount of shredded Parmesan cheese and allow it to melt through out the stuffing mixture. Add in a small spoon full of minced garlic and season to taste. Set a side.

3. Place chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat tenderizer until thin. Remove top layer of plastic wrap and season both sides with salt, pepper, and season salt. Then, spoon some of the stuffing mixture on to one side of the chicken. Slowly roll up the chicken like a paper towel roll and wrap in plastic wrap twisting the ends like a candy wrapper. Repeat with each piece of chicken. Next, wrap each chicken roll in aluminum foil just like you did with the plastic wrap.

4. Place each wrapped chicken roll in the pot of boiling water. Let boil for 18 minutes then remove. Allow to cool for a few minutes before unwrapping. Slice each roll in to pieces and serve with rice or potatoes.

I don't have a picture of one of my Roulades, but this picture shows what it should look like. These are really simple but look very fancy.

Other stuffing ideas: Broccoli, bacon, and cheddar cheese. Asparagus and Parmesan cheese. Or any other combination your family likes.

Pasta with Tomatoes, Basil, and Chicken

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

3 ripe tomatoes, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced (isn't that word fun to say? and doesn't it make you think of fairies?)

2 Tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped

2 Tbs. fresh basil, chopped

1/2 tsp. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 Tbsp. olive oil

6-8 oz. uncooked linguini

1/4 c. Parmesan cheese

Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken breasts until properly humiliated (1/2-inch thickness). Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper (to make them feel better). In a large heavy skillet, heat 1 1/2 tsp. oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until well browned on both sides and cooked to an internal temperature of 170 degrees farenheit (does anybody actually take its temperature?), about 5 minutes per side.

In second skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil, simmer the tomatoes, garlic, parsley, basil, sugar, salt and pepper over low heat, stirring constantly until sauce is cooked. Add lemon juice until heated. Toss cooked chicken into the sauce. Keep warm.

Cook linguini according to package directions. Spoon sauce over hot linguini and sprinkle with cheese. Serves 2 giants or a regular family with picky eaters.

This recipe came in a King Soopers ad in the mail. I thought it was yummy.

Shredded Beef (for tacos or pitas)

1 Rump Roast (small one usually feeds my family of four for 2-3 meals, larger one can feed 6 adults plus kids)

Beef Broth (enough to almost cover roast in crock pot)

Seasonings- cumin, oregeno, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder

Put roast in crock pot, pour beef broth over and season liberally. Cook on high for 6-8 hours or low for 8-12 hours. You amy want to check flavor after meat is cooked and add more seasonings if needed.

The roast should flake apart easily and can then be used for tacos, nachos, enchiladas, pita pockets. It's delicious and easy!

Always Easy Taco Salad

Taco salad is great, because you don't always have to use the same ingredients every time. If you are preparing a meal for several people (roommates), place each mix-in into separate bowls. Then people can make their own salads.

Brown some ground beef, or use ground turkey, or even chicken instead. Season it with salt and pepper, or a taco seasoning packet.

Chop up some lettuce.

Crush up chips in your hands, and place in the bottom of your bowl... I use tortilla chips, but corn chips, or Doritos work too.

Then add some beans... I use pinto beans, but there are also kidney beans, chili beans... whatever you might have on hand.

Suggestions of mix-ins:

tomatoes
olives
onions
avocado
cheese

Top it off with sour cream, and/or a favorite salad dressing.

Laura's Alfredo Chicken

So I came across a super easy recipe for crock pot chicken alfredo. We had it for dinner tonight. It isn't Olive Garden alfredo (or even Cathy's) but for how simple it was I will certainly make it again.

2 lb. Chicken
1 package cream cheese
1 can cream of chicken
1/2 cup water
pepper to taste (I also added garlic)

Cut chicken and place at bottom of crockpot. Mix remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Serve over rice or noodles.

My crock pot cooks fast so it didn't take as long. It is a very nice and easy Sunday meal. Just thought I would share! :) Since I work during the week I'm always looking for crock pot recipes if anyone has any good ones (preferably inexpensive ones).
