Everyone loves Pasta.
My favorite is Dreamfields brand. It’s low glycemic and high fiber.
I also love whole wheat pasta.
You can use any shape you like. My family likes Angel Hair. It takes just a few minutes to cook. I like anything that makes cooking easier.
My son is a picky eater so pasta is a great way to “sneak” in things(veggies).
I take the pasta as soon as I have drained it and add butter and toss.
I add salt and pepper and parmesan cheese. This is the basic dish.
You can jazz it up with crumbled cooked bacon,
steamed peas,
chopped pepperoni,
sauteed onion, celery and garlic,
sauteed spinach or broc,
blackened chicken or steak,
artichoke hearts,
seafood,
and/or whatever you want or have that needs to be eaten. I top mine with lots of red pepper flakes.
Your own Personal Pasta everytime.
Citrusy Sweet Goodness.
Simply brown 4 pork chops slightly on both sides
and transfer to a baking pan.
Combine 1/2 cup of orange juice
and 2 tbsp brown sugar
and 2 tbsp orange marmalade
and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar.
Pour over the pork chops.
Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
This is great served over buttered noodles with steamed veggies.
If you want your cozy house to smell AMAZING put this in the Crockpot.
It’s Simple and Delicious and Lean.
Put a pork loin in the crockpot on low.
After about an hour, check on it and drain any juices.
Pour your favorite Barbeque sauce over the pork loin. (You could add garlic and/or onions and your favorite spices)
Cook all day.
When you are ready to serve, just use a fork to shred the meat and stir around in the sauce.
This is so good on a bun (with coleslaw?) or over rice.
Make it as sweet or spicy as you like it.

This is perfect for left-over rice or make some earlier in the day and it’s a breeze to put together. Simply brown about 4 or 5 pieces of diced bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove bacon and turn down the heat. Slightly beat 3 or 4 eggs and pour them into the hot bacon drippings. Add about a cup of rice and chopped green or regular onions and mix together. Add the bacon and any leftover chopped meat you have on hand. Add (low sodium) soy sauce until the rice is as brown as you like it. Stir well and cook on low heat about 15 more minutes. This is so good for any leftover meat or seafood. Your family will like it better than Chinese takeout. Red pepper flakes are optional.
This is one of my very favorite receipes of all time. It comes from my Mother-in-Law and you can use ANYTHING in it. Simply put 1 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of melted butter, 3 eggs and 1/2 cup of Bisquick and seasoning in a blender. Pour into a pie pan then sprinkle any veggie(spinach, broc, zucchini, etc…) or meat (crumbled bacon, chopped ham, leftover meat, etc…) and top with shreded cheese (your favorite or whatever you have that needs to be eaten). Gently push it down into the egg mixture and Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Let it sit until firm. This works for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. By the way, for kids I call this “Pie”.
