BORED!!!!!!!

Can you believe that I'm bored?? No, not really...I'm just bored with my cooking... sick to death of the 5 recipes I have worn out.

SO my challenge to you is to leave your recipe in a comment or email me with your favorite recipe (you can email me at raeshadrz at yahoo dot com) - I love quick, simple recipes. I will randomly post recipes that are submitted for the next couple weeks too so we can all add new dishes to our recipe boxes!!

And what do you get in return? A chance to win one of three vintage aprons!! The deadline to submit recipes is October 20 so that gives you almost two weeks. You can submit more than one recipe and you'll be entered in the drawing once for each recipe you submit. Remember - these can be any type of recipes - main dishes, salads, desserts, etc....with an emphasis on quick and simple!!!

Raesha,


This is a favorite at our house. It's my mom's recipe.

Filling Balls

1lb ground beef or turkey
1 pack Stove Top stuffing
1 can cream of mushroom soup

a little bit of milk


Prepare the stuffing according to the directions on the box. Make a ball of stuffing (about baseball size). Take the ground meat and press it in to a thin layer to cover the outside of the stuffing ball. Make sure this is a THIN layer;). Do this with all the rest of the stuffing and meat. Mix the cream of mushroom soup with a little bit of milk to thin it. Pour it over the top of the filling balls. Cover with foil and place in
oven set to 350. Bake for an hour. Remove from the oven, uncover and serve:)


Hope this helps!

Funny... I was saying the same thing to myself... I'm bored with my cooking. I need something new! I'll be watching the developments here closely!

Here's my standard once a week chicken dish.

Whole chicken, cut down back and "opened". Mix one 1/2 jar of apricot jam with equal amount of shoyu (soy sauce) and pour over chicken. Bake uncovered at 425 for about 15 minutes (watch so that it doesn't burn), and then loosely covered at 350 until done. And I have no idea how long "done" is, sorry. Serve with rice, green beans, carrots, etc.

This is a great side dish--perfect for Thanksgiving:

Creamy Corn
2-3 pounds of frozen corn
8 oz pkg. cream cheese cubed
1/2 cup butter or margarine melted
2-3 TBS sugar or honey
2-3 TBS water (optional)(I use milk)

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker.Cover. Cook on low setting 4 hours. Tastes like buttered corn on the cob.


I totally relate to being bored with those "same 5 recipes". I could use a few more to add to my "apron" as well!

Sour Cream Rice

six cups cooked rice
1 pint sour cream
CHopped fresh or canned chilis (one small can)
Monterey jack cheese, grated (maybe two cups)
butter

Mix chilis into sour cream. Layer rice, sour cream, then cheese twice. Dot with butter and bake at 350 until bubbly and browned.
Everybody wants the browned crispy part so bake it in a large pan.

I completely understand the boredom! Most days I have no desire to eat my own cooking! I look forward to trying some new recipes.

Here's one of my fall favorites:
Chicken Chili (6 servings)
1 1/4# boneless, skinless chicken
2 (15.8 oz) cans Great Northern Beans, rinsed & drained
1 (15.5 oz) can white hominy, drained
1 (1.25 oz) envelope taco seasoning mix
1 (4.5 oz) can chopped green chiles
1 (10 3/4 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
Sour Cream
Chopped green onions

Place chicken in 3-4 qt. slow cooker (crock pot). Top with remaining ingredients, in order, except sour cream and onions.
Cover and cook on low heat 8 - 10 hours.
Before serving, stir gently to break up chicken pieces. Top with sour cream and onions.
