I started using swagbucks as my home page again. I had a little under 1300 points with which I was able to redeem $10.00 Amazon gift cards.I haven't used swagbucks in a year so I was impressed that I still had an account with them. I found out that you can apply the gift cards to your amazon account which doesn't expire and you can have waiting for your next amazon purchase. I got 1000 swagbucks for signing up for netflix for one month trial period. if i decide to keep it, $7.99 a month for netflix.

I roasted a whole chicken a few nights ago. I stuffed a couple of lemons and garlic cloves up it's bum and rubbed it with poultry seasoning. I made giblet gravy with the giblits, liver and a few hard boiled eggs too. The gravy was my favorite part. I shredded the leftover chicken tonite and used the creamy alfredo sauce packet that was in my cabinet. I threw in some bacon crumbles I keep in my freezer and some sliced mushrooms from Trader Joe's. I boiled some broccoli florets (on sale @ giant eagle) in the same sauce pan I later threw in some angel hair pasta. Dinner was made in less than 15 minutes!!! and cheap. So cheap.

One of the most popular Indian/Pakistan chicken dish which is cooked in a clay oven called a tandoor, and this is extremely popular in the West and appears on the majority of the restaurant menus.

http://www.dadcooksdinner.com/2011/01/pressure-cooker-pho-bo-vietnamese-beef.html And, while I'm at it...Pho is pronounced "fuh" (rhymes with duh), not "faux" (rhymes with sew, a needle pulling thread). Here's an entertaining video explaining the difference. When it comes to cooking, Pho really is as simple as it seems. The complexity comes from the combination of the ingredients; if you have a good beef broth, the rest of Pho is easy. If you have a pressure cooker, it doesn't even take that much time. *If you don't make your own beef broth, then you really will have a Faux Pho.

I made this dip yesterday for a quick and easy appetizer - I brought chips made of quinoa/flax seed/sesame - it was gobbled up!! White Bean Dip By Catherine Newman Inexpensive, nearly instantaneous, and deliciously wholesome, White Bean Dip is a creamy, tasty alternative to hummus or pinto bean dips. As my 8-year-old son put it affectionately, "It's really our main dip." And dinner's a party when appetizers become the main course. Note on Dippers: Serve the most wholesome dippable food you can get away with: whole grain breadsticks or crackers (Ak-Mak and Finn Crisps are brands that we like, though they need to be broken into pieces); strips of whole wheat bread or toast; pita chips; whole grain tortilla chips; and veggies such as snow peas, raw carrots, bell peppers, and celery sticks, or lightly steamed broccoli, sugar snap peas and green beans.

Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 cups quinoa 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon parsley flakes In large fry pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and quinoa. Saute until the quinoa starts to brown and the onion becomes clear. Add chicken broth and parsley flakes and bring to a slight boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook for 12 minutes, covered, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, recover and allow to steam for another 10 – 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve. This recipe is from Goodcheapeats.com a great resource for once a month freezer cooking and menu planning Mondays. Also, I added chopped carrots to the recipe when sauteeing the onion and quinoa just to add a little color to the dish and to get some veggies in. Recipe from: www.goodcheapeats.com

Conversation Among the Ruins Through portico of my elegant house you stalk With your wild furies, disturbing garlands of fruit And the fabulous lutes and peacocks, rending the net Of all decorum which holds the whirlwind back. Now, rich order of walls is fallen; rooks croak Above the appalling ruin; in bleak light Of your stormy eye, magic takes flight Like a daunted witch, quitting castle when real days break. Fractured pillars frame prospects of rock; While you stand heroic in coat and tie, I sit Composed in Grecian tunic and psyche-knot, Rooted to your black look, the play turned tragic: Which such blight wrought on our bankrupt estate, What ceremony of words can patch the havoc?

Here's Aunt Mary's Wedding Soup recipe that was so delicious! WEDDING SOUP 2 boneless chicken breasts 2 large cans college inn chicken broth 1 pkg. chopped spinach (thawed & drained) 3 cups water 1 carrot 2 eggs 1/3 cup parmesan cheese Bring water boil; add chicken. Grate carrot into boiling water. After 10-15 minutes remove chicken. Cool, then dice. Add College Inn broth; bring to a boil and reduce heat. Beat 2 eggs, add Parmesan cheese to eggs and blend. Drop egg mixture into broth, stirring through with fork. Add drained spinach, meatballs, diced chicken. Simmer for 15 minutes Of course you can make your own chicken stock, but I just used the canned broth but I did use the lowfat, low sodium one. Also, the drier you get the spinach the less green the soup broth gets.

Low-Fat Dessert - Grape Salad This dessert was a big hit in the Smith household. I scaled down the recipe a little bit more by using Splenda instead of the white granulated sugar. You may even be able to get away with putting in only 1/4 cup of the white sugar instead of 1/2 cup. Enjoy! 1-1/2 bls green seedless grapes 1-1/2 lbs red seedless grapes 8 oz lite sour cream 8 oz low-fat cream cheese 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla Topping (you may want to double up on this because this really makes it, also, if you make a head, you may want to hold off putting the topping until you are ready to serve): 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped pecans Remove stems from grapes and rinse. Beat sour cream, cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla with mixer. Stir grapes into the mixture and place in a serving dish. Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over top.

I stumbled across this blog when searching for menu planning ideas and came across this interesting article. She gives the recipe for a 4 ingredient tomato sauce that can be cooked in bulk then frozen in 2 or 3 cup portions. Then you modify the recipe to create 10 different dishes. Loved this idea. I just cooked it last night as I was cooking the salmon and it was pretty tasty. I used one of those humongous cans of tomatoes and about 2- 28 oz. cans of tomatoes and then added 1 - 14 oz. Next time I will try to double the recipe because it only made (5) 3 cup portions. While I am cooking this I would probably put together a lasagna dish to put in the freezer. My mind is whirling with possibilities. You have to plan for a day that you'll be home as it takes about 4 + hours to cook this marinara sauce and then even longer to let it cool and put away. Check it out and the rest of the site. It also has a really great article about taking meals to those in need (death in family...

I got this in an email today and thought we could all use it... "Leftover spaghetti sauce can be transformed into a tasty Italian soup called Pasta e Fagioli. Just thin out the sauce out with chicken broth (or water) to make it more soup-like and throw in some cooked elbow macaroni. This soup gets its heft from garbanzo beans, so add a generous amount of beans to the pot. For rounding out the meal, add a salad and some whole grain bread with Parmesan sprinkled over the top of the soup. When you have a bit of chicken left over but not quite enough to feed everyone, turn it into a meal by making chicken and rice soup. Brown rice is a great way to sneak in some fiber and nutrients and makes this a much better choice than chicken noodle soup. Chop and boil a few carrots, a few pieces of celery, and an onion in chicken stock until soft. Then shred your leftover chicken and toss it in. Add cooked brown rice and serve. Leftover vegetables can almost always be boiled an...
