I am in a rut.
I desperately need new food ideas. Desperately.
I am not picky, but I would love dinner recipes and some without meat.
In exchange for your recipes, I will post 2 of my favorites. One is a yummy stew and the other is a delicious, delectable, delightful dessert. I know you are drooling in anticipation.
CROCKPOT BEEF STEW
1 pound beef stew meat
4 medium potatoes, cut into large pieces
4 carrots, sliced or 4 handfuls of baby carrots
1 bay leaf
1 package dry onion soup mix
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of celery soup
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
Combine ingredients in a crock pot. cook for 6 to 8 hours on low heat or for 4 to 5 hours on high heat, stirring occasionally to mix.
PEPPERMINT CHOCOLATE TRIFLE
1 package of chocolate cake mix, prepared to package directions in a 9x13 pan.
1 large chocolate instant pudding mix, prepared to package directions
1 large cool whip
1 large or several small candy canes, crushed
Break up the cake into large pieces. Place half of the cake pieces in a trifle bowl. Layer with half of the pudding and then half of the cool whip. Repeat. Top off the concoction with crushed candy canes. (You can place candy canes on top of the first layer of cool whip but it is too crunchy for my taste.) This is a hit at parties and everyone thinks you spent forever making it. Oops...there goes my secret.
Okay, now it is your turn.

unfortunately i think we have all of the same recipies. But just incase we love chicken & broccoli, corn chowder, fajitas, tomato soup, homemade pizza, salamon, salmon tacos, Bengal tigers' chicken delight (in a pinch of Salt Lake), artichoke chicken. Let me know if you want any recipes!
I love it!!! I need a dessert that has a Christmas flare for the family party coming up! We love using our crockpot since it is so easy. One I am having this week is two-however many you need chicken breasts, barbeque sauce (any bottled stuff works), and a can of crushed pineapples. After 4-6 hrs on high for 6-8 on low (cook time depends on amt of chicken used) shred the mix and put on top of rice. mmmmmm. Gotta love it. Another favorite: Tomato Basil Pizza (even my 3yr old eats it). Make favorite pizza dough, then roll out. spread some olive oil on top, then put mozarella cheese and some parmesan cheese on. Add fresh roma tomatoes sliced, oregano and some sea salt (or any salt). Bake at 500 degrees for 7 min and then pull out and top w/shredded fresh basil. double yum! Best of luck!
Our fav and easiest is called dream spaghetti. Boil angel hair pasta- drain...set aside. mix 16 oz cottage cheese 8 oz sour cream in a bowl. but ready pasta in bottom of a 9 by 13 pan. next add mixture of sour cream and cottage cheese. then on top add spaghetti sauce (prego works) and then top with shredded mozzorella cheese. heat in oven at 350 for 30 min. it is yummy and easy!
