Menu 6-15

These are the dishes I have made this past week.  I love AllRecipes.com and I get a lot of my recipes from that site.  We have found a few that have become family favorites.  Click on the title if you would like to link to the recipe.  The first three recipes are from Allrecipes and the last three are from my site.

Chicken Enchiladas II

We love this recipe, except for the fact that it uses canned cream of mushroom soup.  We tried a different chicken enchilada recipe a few weeks ago. It was good, but the boys didn't like the shredded chicken texture.  I will give it a try again, but this one is easy and good.

I season the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then saute it with some olive oil and butter.





Mostaccioli with Spinach and Feta

This dish is super easy.  It's originally a vegetarian dish, but we like meat and added hot italian sausage.

To make slicing the sausage easier, put it in the freezer for a few minutes to semi-freeze it.  Cook the sausage in a skillet, put on a separate plate, pour off the fat, add olive oil to the same skillet and saute the veggies.  This will give the dish an extra oomph of flavor!

Manicotti-   I didn't take a photo of this dish.  This one got a lot of great reviews.  My family liked it, but I thought it was a bit bland.  Maybe adding some basil or oregano to the cheese mixture will give it a boost.
