This is one of my kids favorite meals. Honestly.



Spinach Alfredo Pasta

1 Bag Bowtie Pasta
1 Jar Alfredo Sauce
1 Clove of Garlic (optional)
1/2 Bag of Chopped Spinach


Sautee Spinach and chopped or minced Garlic, until heated through



Add 3/4 jar of Alfredo Sauce (or more if you like) into Spinach



Pour over Cooked Pasta and Serve.

Buttermilk Syrup served on Sourdough French Toast

NOT A THREE MONTH SUPPLY RECIPE

Buttermilk Syrup

1 cube Butter
1 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Buttermilk
1 t. Vanilla
1/4 t. Baking Soda

Heat to dissolve sugar, almost to boil. Pull from burner and add vanilla and baking soda. Don't cook to boiling or it will curdle.

I serve this over pancakes, waffles or french toast. I serve it over sourdough french toast. It's tasty the tangy with the sweet.

To make Sourdough french toast, just use sourdough instead of regular bread.

Russian Chicken

Russian Chicken

1 jar Russian Dressing (8 oz)
1/2 Jar Apricot Preserves
1 Lipton Onion Soup Packet
4+ Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast

Mix first three ingredients in slow cooker. Add Chicken Breasts. Turn to coat. Cook on low for 1-2 hours, checking until Chicken is cooked through. Serve over Rice.

I cook this with frozen chicken breasts and it took me a little under two hours. As soon as the chicken thawed in the cooker, I took tongs and held the chicken breast, and cut them into bite sized pieces with kitchen shears. It cooked faster that way. You can eat it with the breasts left alone, or cut it up. It's our preference.



Ingredients

Mixed in the Slow Cooker
Add the Chicken


Chop it if you wish
Enjoy (broccolli not inclued:)

Me loves Pasta

NOT a three month supply recipe

My family tried this two nights ago and liked it. Even my husband did, and he is a food snob. My middle child wasn't all that keen on it, but someone needed to be sacrificed.

It came out of the Kraft food and family magazine that I get quarterly. I've found a few recipes from there.

It's a super easy recipe. Find it HERE.

or here:

Capellini Caprese


1/2 lb. capellini or spaghetti, uncooked
1/2 cup KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing and Marinade
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups halved grape or cherry tomatoes
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
1/3 cup fresh basil, finely sliced

COOK pasta as directed on package.

MEANWHILE, heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir 2 min. Add tomatoes; cook 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

DRAIN pasta. Add to tomato mixture; mix lightly. Sprinkle with cheese and basil.

**I added a little more dressing and used a pound of spaghetti instead of a 1/2 pound.

Trader Ming's Mandarin Orange Chicken

When I'm doing food supply, I want it easy, with the least amount of ingredients. So here goes--Mandarin Orange Chicken. I get this from Trader Joe's for $4.99. Oh what your city doesn't have one? Boy that's sad. I'm sure you can find something where you live. Anyhow, I can feed my family of 6 on it, but not for long. I'm going to have to double it soon, then we'll have leftovers.


Ingredients:

Trader Joes's Mandarin Orange Chicken (from the freezer section)
Rice



Cook rice (get a frickin rice cooker--it's easy and better than that minute rice crap)
and heat chicken in pan with a bit of oil


Diggity done.


Now that's how I do food storage
