Anyone have a hit recipe for a quick/easy mexican appetizer?

I make a layered dip that people LOVE and its easy. Of course, it depends on what you like...but I put refried beans on bottom, mix one packet taco seasoning with 1 16 oz. sour cream, layer that next, salsa on top of that, shredded lettuce and then shredded cheese





The sour cream mixture is what makes it the best.Anyone have a hit recipe for a quick/easy mexican appetizer?

Quick and easy chicken or any meat recipes for a vegetarian!!!!!?

Hi! Ok, I AM a vegetarian, have been for almost 14 years now, but my boyfriend likes meat. For the whole 2 years we have been together, I barely cook for him at all, and if I do it's veggie food. I would like to learn some simple, tasty meat dishes. Now remember, I cannot taste these while cooking, so be specific!!





Happy New Year!





Thanks!Quick and easy chicken or any meat recipes for a vegetarian!!!!!?
Why not BBQ some burgers for him, and BBQ whole portobello mushrooms for YOU! You can each put them on an onion roll with lettuce, tomato, onion %26amp; sliced avocados. (Make the burgers with lean ground sirloin; a package of dry onion soup mix per lb. of meat with 1 egg %26amp; some Italian seasoned bread crumbs).....





I make white pizza too, which is easy. You can put some shredded cooked chicken on his half, and leave yours plain. Use a tube of refrigerated pizza dough; make a white sauce with garlic and spread that on top. Then a layer of fresh mozzarella cheese; a layer of fresh spinach leaves; chopped sun-roasted peppers and cut-up artichoke hearts; kalamata olives; and a small package of feta cheese sprinkled all over it. Bake according to the dough package instructionsQuick and easy chicken or any meat recipes for a vegetarian!!!!!?
Ok, so if you can make yourself a decent vege stir fry, simply do that adjust the taste so its all good for you, slice thinly and fry some chicken or beef or something in another pan, then take out your serving of the vege stuff, stir the meat into the rest of the stir fry and serve that for him.


A good basic stir fry sauce combination is 1 clove minced garlic, 2 tablespoons vegetarian 'oyster' sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sugar, a little bit of chilli powder or sauce if you like it spicy.
Get a couple chicken breasts, moisten them with milk, then mix some chili powder (about 2Tbsp) and about 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, dip the chicken in thi parmesan chili mixture, put it on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 20 mins. It's delicious! Otherwise, why not cook him other things like specialty pastas (fetucinni alfredo, spaghetti caprese) or just some good sandwiches or something like that. Make him your fave food I'm sure he will learn to eat it!
Go to www.allrecipes.com. Each recipe has a rating and user comments so you know if others found it good or how they adapted the recipe. I'm in the same situation. My hubby is a meat eater, I'm a lifelong vegetarian born to vegetarian parents. The most important thing I've learned is that meat should be marinated to make it taste good. Super easy stuff is just a strip steak or a peice of chicken, buy a bottle of marinade, then cook it unitl it's done. Or, go to the deli and get something already made that you can just heat up.
r u mad to ask about non veg recipes in vegetarian group?

Doesn't get easier than that.Can you gimme the quick and easiest recipe to make lasagnia?

Ingredients


1 pkg Lasagna noodles


1 Medium jar of spaghetti sauce


1 bag Shredded mozarella cheese


1 bag Shredded Italian mix cheese


2 lbs Lean hamburger meat


Garlic Salt





Preparation


Cook lasagna noodles according to directions on package. Brown the hamburger meat and a dash or two of garlic salt.





Preheat oven to 350.





Mix hamburger meat with spaghetti sauce and put thin layer on bottom of 9x13 baking dish. Add layer of pasta noodles.





Add layer of spaghetti sauce mixture, mozarella, Italian mix, then noodles.





Repeat until dish is full. Ending with a thin layer of cheese.





Bake for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
I'm not sure if you have it over there - but we have this stuff in Australia called mountain bread - its like flat tortillas (not corn, you can use corn if you want) but square. You can very easily use that to replace the pasta, and it works well. Make your normal tomato pasta sauce: like whether you use mince onions tomatoes basil oregano bay leaf or a bottle. You can cheat with the cheese sauce too by just mixing an egg with some yoghurt and adding some grated cheese.
LASAGNA (in a Crock Pot)


Good... and easy for students too.





1 lb ground beef


1 med. onion, chopped


1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce (approx. 26 oz)


12 oz container ricotta cheese


1/2 grated parmesan cheese


1 egg


12 oz lasagna noodles (no need to cook!)


12 oz shredded mozzarella cheese (reserve 1/2 cup)





Directions:





Brown meat and onion in skillet. Drain off fat. Add jar of spaghetti sauce and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes (if the sauce is too thick, you may want to add about a 1/2 cup of water to thin it). In a separate bowl, combine all the ricotta cheese, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese (except reserved 1/2 cup) and the egg. Mix thoroughly. Spoon a layer of meat sauce onto the bottom of crock cooker. Add *two* layers of uncooked lasagna noodles (broken into small pieces to make them fit) and then top with cheese mixture. Repeat with sauce, noodles, and cheese mixture until all are used. Sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella on very top. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for approximately 3 hours.
Buy some Mullers lasagna noodles, and look at the recipe on the box. It is the easiest and yummy :) I thought it was my Mom's homemade recipe until I asked for it as an adult.

Quick and Easy Diabetic Recipes?

Anyone know of any quick and easy diabetic recipes for a person that doesn't like a lot of veggies. I am a meat and potatoes type person.Quick and Easy Diabetic Recipes?
I have had diabetes for 13 years now. As myself and my parents became more aware of diabetes, we discovered that the best type of recipes to go for are ones in which have enough carbohydrate to keep my blood sugar stable, but doesn't have a lot of fat in.





I suggest things like, pasta dishes. Beef or Pork Stews. Lasagne. Noodles. I'm afraid I don't know any recipes off hand, but if you have a look online for healthy eating recipes rather than so called, 'Diabetic' recipes, you will be able to find some good hints and suggestions. Try to steer away from foods with a lot of salt content and try not to add any salt to your diet.





As far as desserts go, I would suggest things with low sugar and fat content. Again, health eating recipes are good.





Good luck and bon apetite!

Not feeling good but still need an easy, quick recipe for the hubby?

not feeling good, but i still need to cook something quick and easy for the hubby for dinner tonight.....





ideas with recipes...





he does not like pasta.....








thank you...Not feeling good but still need an easy, quick recipe for the hubby?
Wow, he doesn't like pasta!!!???? Crazy! Well, each to his own, I guess. How about a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, and a side of veggies. Get the microwave steamed kind, it's easier and delicious. And, maybe a loaf of bread form the bakery. That way you don't even hardly have to do a thing:) Feel better!Not feeling good but still need an easy, quick recipe for the hubby?
If you have a crock pot you can throw in chicken and barbeque sauce together and cook it on high for 4 hours or low 8 hours - just make sure you season the chicken, I am spanish so I put a little bit of adobo and lawry seasoned salt.





Put Barbeque sauce on the bottom of crockpot , seasoned chicken pieces and more barbeque sauce, and cook - delicious. serve with white rice or veg.
You should really try www.tastychickenrecipe.com they have a bunch of quick and easy chicken recipes for free. Also you can download a free ebook with even more chicken recipes.
scramble some eggs, add some ham chopped up and/or some cheese. a side of toast and some canned fruit and you are good to go.





you could also make an omelet with ham or cheese or pour some canned chili over it and some diced onions or peppers.
sorry you didn't get the memo, but this is exactly why take out was invented. order Thai and get yourself some Tom Yum, it make you feel beter.
You should make him get a takeaway or go to the fish and chip shop on the way home or even better make him cook for himself!!!!
Throw some meat and veggies in the slow cooker with some water on high and go lay down.





Hope you feel better soon.
Why not have hubby cook for himself (and you) for a change?

roasted potatoes


green beans
make him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and get back to bed!
