What are some recipes that everyone including me will enjoy in Home Economics class?

It has to be a main dish, somthing good, simple, and I should get a great grade on it. I realy don't want desserts. I've already made:





Chicken Alfredo


Pretzels


Puppy Chow


Gorditas


Apple Crumble .....and more.What are some recipes that everyone including me will enjoy in Home Economics class?
chili in a crock pot





mix in crock pot in this order:


1 can tomato paste


1 can tomato juice (like V8)


1 large can undrained diced tomatoes


1 can drained rinsed kidney beans


1 lb browned ground beef (ground turkey or chicken would be OK too)


1 medium chopped onion


1 chopped green pepper


4-5 stalks celery chopped


1-2 tbls chili powder (I add some to the meat while its cooking also)


mix in pot, keep on low setting for 5-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours (or you can bring it to a LOW boil on the stove for about 30 min)What are some recipes that everyone including me will enjoy in Home Economics class?
Taco Tray or dip.The one you layer everything on a platter.


Serve with taco chips.for your appetizer.(just a suggestion for another time)





Quiche is nice for lunch and served with a large fruit filled muffin or cut up fresh fruit.





Stuffed Chicken breasts or cornish game hens (just bake in the oven)topped with cheese sauce or alfredo sauce.Serve on a bed of rice or wilted spinach.


Have your butcher split the game hens.That would be even better for eye appeal.Nobody else in your class will think of it.











For an added bonus...can you make a loaf of homemade bread???





I'd love to know how you made your Gorditas???


I'll go ask the question???
hm, you could make an easy baked chicken.


you just take a box of chicken stuffing. cook it according to the stove-top directions on the box. then you get a few thin-cut chicken breasts. you make little mounds of the stuffing in a baking dish. top with the raw chicken breast pieces (1 per mound), then top with a can or jar of gravy (turkey or chicken). bake in a 375 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes.


You can do the same thing with thin sliced porkchops, just make pork stuffing, mix it with fresh mushrooms, then top with pork gravy. Bake it for the same amount of time.


That's a never fail dish, and the meat is always moist.
This sounds complex but it's not. You can have everything prepared ahead of time and just put together. Here's what you will need:





1 lb Shredded chicken


1/2 yellow onion - sliced


1/2 green bell pepper - sliced


1 small can mushrooms - drained


1 small can diced green chilies


1 small can sliced black olives


4 oz cream cheese - cut into cubes


4 oz sour cream


2 T prepared mustard


1 bouillon cube (or 1 tsp chicken base)


1 c water


2 tsp coriander


1 tsp black pepper





Saute onion in a little oil until translucent. Add the bell pepper and cook 2 minutes. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, water, mustard and bouillon cube and stir to mix. Add the black pepper and coriander and stir. When the bell pepper is tender-crisp, add the diced green chilies, black olives, and chicken. Stir until all coated. If the sauce gets too thick, add a little more water. You don't want it soupy but you want it a little thinner than gravy. You can serve it with Mexican Rice and Refried Beans if you'd like. It is good just the way it is if you want it plain.





I created this recipe after having a wonderful meal in a Mexican Restaurant. Their recipe is called Pollo Con Crema (Chicken in cream sauce). This was the closest I could get to their recipe.
lasagna


meatloaf w/ tatos
Taco Salad





1 pound Ground beef


1 package taco seasoning


1 head of Lettuce


2 firm tomatoes


1 medium spanish onion (any will do or just leave out)


1 can pinto beans, drained


2 cups Cheddar Cheese


1 bag Nachos


1 bottle French dressing





Brown beef and add seasoning. Cool and drain. Set aside.


Add pinto beans.


Cut up lettuce, tomatoes and onion.


Smash the nachos right in the bag. You want them to be bite sized.


Add cheese and nachos


Unless you are serving soon, wait to add the dressing since it can make the cheese and nachos become soggy.
NO bake cookies.....very easy, and tasty!
strawberry crepes, make for mom


chicken ciacatorre,make dinner for fam.
Home made Chicken teryaki...It is so unbelievably easy, yet SO good. And its actually good for ya...who would have guessed. Then make a little fried rice on the side. Its all very simple...even for people who have never cooked.





1 1/2 lbs. Chicken (I use the tenders cause its easier to remove the fat.)


1/4 cup water


1/4 cup soy sauce


1/2 teaspoon ground ginger


2 tablespoons molasses(If you spray the spoon with oil, the molasses comes off alot easier)


2 cloves finely chopped garlic


Your choice of veggies.


1 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch





Cut chicken into bite size pieces and remove fat. Combine water, and next 4 ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken. You can let the chicken marinate for about an hour or so, or you can cook it immediately. Just be sure chicken is covered completely.


Coat a large skillet or wok with oil (The spray works the best) and place over med-high heat until hot. Add the chicken and your choice of veggies to the pan and cook until chicken is cooked throughly (Usually only takes about 10-15 mins)


Add cornstartch to the left over marinade in the bowl and mix it with a fork until the lumps are gone. Add it to pan and cook until thickened, stirring constantly.








The fried rice is even easier.





2 cups cooked rice


2 cups cooked veggies


2 eggs, scrambled


2 tablespoons soy sauce.


2 tablespoons chopped Walnuts (Optional)





Add about 2 tablespoons oil in a pan and place over med-high heat until hot. Add rice and veggies to hot pan and stir fry. Add scrambled eggs and soy sauce. Mix Well. Add walnuts if desired. If needed, you can add more soy sauce. It really just depends on how much rice you use, but 2 tablespoons should be fine.





Hope this helps....good luck
