    Buy a box of ';Pasta Sides'; from the store. The pasta only takes about 3-5 minutes to make. Before making the pasta, cut chicken in small strips, add butter to a pan, and cook the chicken until done on medium heat. It should take 7-12 minutes or so for the fish to cook. Mix the chicken in the pasta, or serve it separately, either way, it is quick and easy to make, not to mention, it tastes good.
    When I want to make something quick and easy, and I have a pound of hamburger. I make a box of Hamburger Helper, there are a lot of delicious dinners. Beef Pasta is my favorite.

    Quick And Easy Recipes!!!?

    I have a few.





    The first is to marinate chicken breast in zesty Italian dressing. With this you could just throw it on the grill, and it's good. I like to dress it up. I generally bake this for about 20 minutes, it won't be done, but it's going to go back in. Then I top with a few sliced tomatoes that I have seasoned with salt and pepper. Then with cheese. I prefer something strong like gorgozola, but I have made it with mozz cheese as well. Let this bake for another 5 minutes until the cheese is brwon and bubbly. You can serve this on a toasted bun with mayo or pesto, or both the way I like it. Or on a plate with a side of pasta that is dressed lightly with a simple tomato sauce, pesto or garlic and olive oil.





    Another really good easy recipe is my fake lasagna. It's so good and a piece of cake. You can dress this up any way you like as well. The basic recipe calls for 1 box of cooked ziti with lines (make sure you undercook it for , 1 lb. of sweet bulk sausage, 1 large jar of your favorite tomato sauce (you will need about 3 cups) or about 3 cups of homemade sauce, 1 large container of ricotta cheese and 1 large bag of mozz cheese. Cook your sausage until it's all the way done. Then just mix the rest of the ingredients, except for about 1 cup of the mozz cheese and put it in a baking dish. Top with the rest of the mozz and bake at 400 for about 15 minutes covered with tin foil. Then take off the top and cook until the cheese is brown. YUM! Depending on the crowd I might add some marinated artichokes, olives, peppers, onions, etc. Just a little special bang.





    Finally, another really good recipe is roasted chicken. It's a piece of cake. Just wash the inside of the chicken out and season liberally with salt and pepper inside and out. To the inside of the chicken and a head of garlic you have halved width wise, a few carrots, celery, onion and some type of citrus fruit (whatever you have on hand will work). Under the skin rub butter. I like to season mine with thyme, but it's up to you. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes less than your required to. Then let it sit for about a half hour. It will still be nice and warm, moist and delish. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies. One key thing with mashed potatoes that makes a difference is to warm your milk or cream in the mic before you begin to mix. Also, make sure you salt your water well.Quick And Easy Recipes!!!?

    Dose anyone know any quick and easy appetizer recipes?

    Something that's quick to make for about 50 people.Dose anyone know any quick and easy appetizer recipes?
    These recipes are super easy and is enough to feed 50 + people:


    Sausage Cheese Balls


    3 pounds sausage


    3 pound Cheddar cheese, grated


    12 cups Bisquick


    Mix ingredients well. Roll into balls and place on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.





    Taco Roll Ups


    3 package taco seasoning


    24 ounces cream cheese, softened


    24 ounces picante sauce


    3 package large flour tortillas


    Combine first 3 ingredients with electric mixer. Evenly divide and spread mixture on tortillas, roll up.





    Place rolled tortillas on cutting board, close together with seams down, and using electric knife, slice into 1/2 pieces.





    Arrange pieces on serving platter with an extra bowl of picante sauce for dipping.Dose anyone know any quick and easy appetizer recipes?
    Yes I do!


    You can take the largest and thinnest tortillas you can find. Smear it with cream cheese (you can add seasoning of your liking)


    such as cream cheese with diced green chiles, think sliced green onions,


    and layer thin sliced turkey or lunch meats of your choice, you can put lettuce and diced drained well tomatoes if you like.


    The idea is to roll it up really tight, roll in celephane and refrigerate to get it all to stick together and slice into pinwheel mini sandwhiches. You can make with avacado, imitation crab, anything you like.


    Cream cheese is used as it holds up better than mayo or thin dressing, and sticks better.


    You can make pesto pizzas to cut up. Buy Bobili and cover with pesto and parmesan cheese, simply bake and slice up.





    Melt a large pkg of cheese, and add 2 cans of Hormel beanless chili, heat and stir constantly. Serve warm with french bread cut into hunks.





    Bacon wrapped whole water chesnuts, tooth pick cut bacon around the chesnut and drizzle or serve sweet and sour sauce with it.





    Mini fruit shish kabobs. Buy the larger plastic picks, put pineapple chunks, marichino cherryes, mandrin oranges or anything you can skewer.





    Take a package of cream cheese put it on a plate, and pour shrimp cocktail over it serve with crackers, and put a small knife with it. You can also use the red pepper jelly or green pepper jelly with this.





    Its really easy and looks nice to buy small hunks of diferent cheeses and a variety of crackers. Serve on a mirror, slab of granite. Although common your choice of cheeses and the serving method is what makes it unique. A slicer or small knife for cutting. Colorful washed and dried grapes, apple slices look nice on this platter also.





    One of the biggest hits at parties I have catered is. Baked Brie.


    Buy a wheel or half wheel of mid to high priced Brie. Leave the skin on if it has skin, most do. Buy in the frozen section, puff pastry. Thaw and lay out on a board, put on the cheese and pull up the sides and pinch shut. Brush with egg yolk and bake at about 350, start watching the pastry after 15 mins, this is suppose to ooze out once cut. Serve with all kinds of thick crackers and again a small knife is needed. This is a great holiday treat!


    Presentation can make the simplest foods more elegant. Cover platters with washed and dried green leaf lettuce adds alot to the looks, or colorful kale works well too.
    Sausage Rolls (This recipe serves 18, so (X) by 4)





    Ingredients1 large roll breakfast sausage


    1 large yellow onion, chopped

In same pan, add sausage and dry mustard; brown sausage. Once browned, add onion mixture and cheese to pan and mix together. Remove and let cool. Meanwhile, cut puff pastry into squares by cutting twice down middle and twice across each sheet. Once mixture has cooled, place a tablespoon of sausage mixture in center of pastry, and wrap like an egg roll. Place on baking sheet and brush with remaining butter. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake until golden brown.

    Best-Ever Chinese Chicken Salad:





    All the great flavor of the original, now packed with garden-fresh ingredients. Prep and Cook Time: 45 minutes. Notes: To save time, you can use store-bought crispy wontons or chow mein noodles instead of frying your own. You can also substitute one 11-ounce can of mandarin oranges for the fresh orange slices.





    1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces


    2 navel oranges (see notes)


    About 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

    3. Pour the vegetable oil into a 3- to 4-quart pan (the oil should be about 1/2 inch deep) and set over medium-high heat. When oil reaches 350掳, add wonton strips and fry, stirring, until golden brown on both sides, about 30 seconds total. Lift out with a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to drain.





    4. In a large serving bowl, toss the cabbage, chicken, and asparagus with the dressing. Top with avocado, orange slices, and wonton strips, then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.





    Spicy soy-ginger dressing. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Asian red chile sauce (such as Sriracha), and 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger. Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup vegetable oil or grapeseed oil, whisking constantly. Season with salt to taste.
