Macaroni, Tuna Salad

This dish is so easy to make and so yummy to eat :) If you are in a cruch for time and money make this it is good for lunch or dinner :)

Box of Macaroni (I like elbow, but sometimes get the bow ties)
Mayo
Onion
Can of Tuna
can of peas(if you want them - if not that is totally up to you)

(some people like to put boiled eggs in it, but I dont, totally up to you if you want them in it)

So just boil the noodles, cool, and add mayo, chopped onion, and can of tuna, salt and pepper to season...use as little or as much ingredients as you wish :)

Put in fridge (I like to wait a few hours before I eat it and it always taste better the day after)

Lemon Chicken Piccata (Thanks Dream Dinners)

Yes we tried yet another dinner from Dream Dinners! (Dreamdinners.com) They have some in VA too!

This one was Lemon Chicken Piccata (soooo good) I think this was better then the Hawaiian Chicken and I thought that one was good too!

A plus was Michael liked this one as well! ate it all (and dont tell him but it had capers and artichoke hearts in it)

Not sure what the EXACT recipe was but the prep at Dream Dinners was less then 5 minutes!

and the cook time was about 30 minutes! Not bad at all!


Rachel Ray should feature this on 30 min meals because it was YUM!

(this is not a RR recipe - this is a dream dinner recipe and I am not sure if they got it from some where else but it is good)

I will be going back to Dream Dinners to make this dish soon!

I served with Rice (Jasmine Rice) and Garlic Bread, it was recommended that I serve with Brocolli and Garlic bread :)

Hawiian Chicken

Last week we were invited to Dream Dinners! Let me tell you this was an awesome experience! I am highly considering joining and making dinners! The food that I Prepped there and brought home to make was GREAT! I picked Hawiian Chicken (we could make a six serving meal, so I divided mine into 3 servings and switched my other half with a friend) Sooo easy! Just fried up the chicken, and added the mixture we made at Dream Dinners! Which I wish I remembered the recipe cause now I HAVE to go back! LOL but I dont mind a bit! The prices were great!

Here is what was for dinner...and Michael LOVED it which says alot! Since he is a weird eater :)

Michael Loves Spaghetti!

We had dinner with Mike's mom not too long ago, and she makes the very BEST Spaghetti Sauce, she made LOTS of it so we took some home to freeze! which is a VERY good idea, Make a lot of something and freeze it for another day, saves ton of time and like spaghetti sauce I think once it is frozen and recooked it tastes so much better :)
All I had to do was boil some noodles, re-heat the sauce, and since Michael LOVES Texas toast I popped a few in the oven...one box of Texas Toast last a while in our home.
Michael is a odd child and likes salad :) so we ate some salad with our dinner.

YUM!

With Michael's salad he had ranch dressing...but me I had this Ken's Steak House Raspberry Peacon dressing (mmmMMmm goood and the calories are not bad at all!)

Wal-mart fried chicken?

Okay so everytime I go into Wal-mart it smells soo good, they cook up fried chicken and some other fast dinners.

Well the chicken looked really good and Michael was asking for fried chicken for ever!

So I caved and got it...a container of this Wal-mart fried chicken was $5.99! How good is this chicken? That is the question I asked myself...welll it wasnt GREAT and it wasnt BAD it was OKAY! If you know what I mean.

I also made mashed potatoes (of course I took a short cut and made it from instant...less then $1.00!)

annnnnnd yeap you guessed it! Squash! Again...am I getting sick of it you ask...nope not at all I can eat that stuff alllll day every day!

Annnnd Dinner served!

Sprouts Stuffed Clams

I was at Spouts and they had stuffed clams (2 for $1.98) what a deal!
SOOOOO guess what was for dinner? Yeap that is right stuffed clams...we also (since I am on that squash kick) had some squash and some potato salad (it doesnt "go" with this meal but I had it and so I used it) it was actually a baked potato salad.

Dinner Served!

All under $10!

Baked Chicken, Squash and Broccoli

I am on a squash kick, and I had the taste for some rotisserie chicken. Sooo I was headed off to Kroger (Grocery store) to get me a chicken...total price was $7 for a small one. It is cheap, already cooked and good!

Since I have been on a butter squash kick, I take a tbsp of butter (country crocks) and slice the squash in a pan, place a cover and let simmer until squash is tender and then add some salt YUM!

broccoli was in a bag - the steam bags - FAST and GOOD!

YUMMM DINNNER SERVED!
