My go-to dinner is stir fry. We fry all our veggies in oil and soy sauce on the stove until tender. We boil the rice noodles like the package says. Mmm, so simple and so yummie!

Steak (chick or pork) on the grill, that has been marinated in La Choy Teriyaki overnight., with baked potato and cesar salad.

Summer time dinner is spiced shrimp (Old Bay) and fresh corn on the cob with sliced home grown tomatoes.

[jerseyangel]

We like to put chopped sweet and white potatoes, carrots and a big onion in the crock pot, topped with a meat of choice (we like a chuck roast trimmed of all visible fat) and a bottle of Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce poured over the top. Cook for 8-10 hours.

It's so good and the leftovers are incredible.

Mango, Shrimp & Coconut Springrolls

Gluten Soy Dairy & Nightshade Free

Great anytime!!!

1 tb sesame oil

1 tb lime juice

10 spigs fresh cilantro, minced

4 tb sweetened coconut

1 mango, seeded, peeled and chopped

1 can baby corn, cut into chunks

1/2 cup pea pods

1 cup baby shrimp

1 fresh garlic clove, minced

1 ts fresh grated ginger

kosher or sea salt to taste

8 spring roll wrappers (rice or tapioca-up to you)

In a large mixing bowl add all ingredients, stir well. Set aside

Turn on tap (water) to warm temp and let run, and use your favorite cutting board to assemble rolls. Hold 1 wrap under running water, making sure you get front and back, hold under for about 30 seconds, until it starts to soften, then place flat on cutting board surface. Spoon filling across middle about 2 inches thick, then wrap sides over, bottom up and fold over.

Repeat.

Serves 4.

Enjoy!

No quantities on this one, all to your taste and needs: (not even a name!)

Brown boneless chicken thighs in (butter/oil/whatever you use) Remove from pan.

Saute sliced mushrooms in the same pan with some garlic, pepper and thyme until they have softened and released juices.

Add some chicken stock and white wine and return chicken to pan. Cover and simmer until chicken is done (won't take long). I usually add sour cream at this point, but the sauce can also be thickened with thickener of your choice. Serve over rice. So easy! Especially if you have cooked rice in the fridge.

Just had the best Fried Shrimp you could find.

Friday Night menu:

fried shrimp (fresh caught this morning) breaded in corn flour

white beans & rice

french fries (new potatoes)

onion rings (breaded in corn flour also)

[Juliebove]

Not so much a recipe because I use prepared sauce, but...

A pound or so of ground beef browned, then I add a handful of Just Onions and Just Bell Peppers, a jar of pasta sauce (usually Amy's) along with a small can of plain tomato sauce and some Italian seasoning. Then mix in a package of cooked rice or corn pasta. If I want to stretch this out further, I add a can of corn.

Another favorite is Hormel Roast Beef Au Jus heated in a large skillet and broken into small pieces. Then add a package of cooked rice fettucine.

Go to meal is chicken and salsa rice.

I get the "cheater chicken" from Costco and have it for dinner one night and this is what I do with the leftovers;

Cook 1 c. rice with 2 cups chicken stock, cover low for 20. min.

Add one cup salsa, let absorb into rice. (as best as it will)

Tear up chicken pieces, put in pot and heat thru, & stir

This is great to freeze in individual containers for easy lunches later.

Spicy Roasted Chicken Legs

24 chicken drumsticks--peel back or cut away skin as desired

2 sticks butter

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 Tablespoon Lawry's seasoned salt, or whatever seasonings. Adjust as needed for taste.

Melt the butter, add lemon juice and seasonings. Dip the drumsticks in the butter mixture, lay on a roasting pan with a grill. Brush extra butter on drumsticks. Sprinkle with extra seasonings.

Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, then broil a few minutes to brown the skin.

We always serve this with rice and veggies. So easy and SO good. I save the the bones to make homemade chicken stock.

Everyone has such great recipes. My all time no fails are:

grilling - chicken, hamburgers, pork chops etc.

This is my no fail and easy, easy stove top recipe.

1 bag gluten free pasta

1 jar pasta sauce (I use Rao which I get at Safeway (about $10/jar) and put half a jar of Marinara and half a jar of Arrabiata for spice)

frozen cooked shrimp

Thaw shrimp. This doesn't take long in a bowl of cool water.

Cook pasta according to directions.

Heat sauce in pan. When pasta is almost done, add shrimp to the sauce.

Pour over spaghetti and sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

I did a loaded potato soup the other night.

Start by peeling and cubing 5-6 potatoes-- about six cups worth. Boil in salted water until forkable/al dente, drain and divide in half.

Meanwhile, melt 3 tbs butter in the bottom of a dutch oven or stock pot. Add 1/2 to 1 cup of minced onions and saute until soft. Add 2 pressed cloves of garlic and saute another 30 seconds. Add 3 tbs corn starch and stir to mix well.

All at once, add 3 c. cold milk and whisk mixture until smooth. Heat over medium heat until thickened (mixture should coat the back of a mixing spoon). While heating, add white pepper and salt to taste. When thickened, add 1 1/2 cups of chicken stock and bring to just under a boil. When potatoes are finished cooking, put half in a food processor/blender with 3 c. chicken stock and 1 tbs corn starch and puree until smooth. Add puree to soup pot at end of cooking. Remove from heat.

Stir in remaining cooked potatoes, 1/2 c. sour cream, 1 c. shredded cheddar, four slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled, and 1/3 c. dried chives. Make sure the cheese and sour cream blend in completely.

I suppose technically this is a breakfast recipe, but we have it for dinner often---my kids love breakfast for dinner.

frozen hash browns (cubed are the ones I've used, but shredded would work great too)

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

1 1/2-2 cups chopped ham

2 cups eggs, beaten

1 cup shredded American cheese (I omit this, because of my dairy issues)

Spread the hash browns over the bottom of a 13x9 baking pan. Sometimes I just boil potatoes and season them, instead of buying hash browns. Drizzle with the butter, sprinkle the ham over the potatoes, pour eggs over all. If using, sprinkle with cheese.

Sprinkle with paprika, bake at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes, until firm in the middle. This is so good, we never have leftovers.

Oh, and this is the best chicken and rice casserole EVER:

Open Original Shared Link

It calls for dairy sour cream and half and half, and i can tolerate small amounts. I make this about twice a month. My husband LOVES it. I use homemade chicken stock, no sherry, and I cut the salt by 2/3rds. It is addictive!

[Natsku]

Karelian casserole

Chunks of pork and beef, just chuck them into a pot with some chopped onions, some peppercorns, some allspice, and salt and then top with water. Then just stick it in the oven for 3 or so hours. I usually make some rice or potatoes to have with it, maybe some steamed veggies too.
