I am always looking for good easy recipes to cook for my family. So, I will share one that I have been making lately.


Name: Chicken broccoli alfredo

Ingredients: boneless chicken breast, stalk of brocolli, heavy whipping cream, parmesian cheese, fettuccini noodles

Instructions: I like to cut up the chicken in small pieces and cook them in a frying pan on low with just water. Boil the fettuccini noodles. Cook the broccoli until a little soft. Heat the whipping cream in a pan until it starts to bubble and then start adding parmesian cheese until it thickens up a little (stir frequently). Then put the heat on low and add the broccoli, chicken, and noodles to the pan with the whipping cream and let simmer.

I hope you try it and enjoy....

Potato Salad.
Quantities depend entirely on personal preference.

Cook potatoes until they are just tender, allow to cool.
Chop up 2-3 spring onions and one red bell pepper.
Mix together equal quantities of sour cream and mayonnaise and add curry powder to taste.
When the potatoes are cold dice and add dressing, peppers and spring onions.

Mango/Papaya/Coconut Kabobs

2 lbs Cubed Beef or Pork
1 Coconut
1 Papaya (or substitute equal amount of Papya juice or Papain extract)
1 Mango
Black Pepper
Tabasco
2 Portabello Mushrooms
1 Package Cherry or Grape Tomatoes
2 Peppers, Red Green or Yellow
1 Purple Onion
Kabob Skewers (about a dozen)
BBQ Grill

Drain juice from coconut, whole papaya, and half the mango into a large bowl. Add some fresh black pepper and a little Tabasco. This is your marinade. Throw the meat in, and marinate in the fridge for an hour or so (while the grill gets hot). You won't need meat tenderizer because the papain in the papaya is one of the world's best meat tenderizers.

While the meat is marinating, cut all of the vegetables into small pieces (don't forget the other half of the mango you have). Put the veggies and meat onto the skewers, with the mango pieces next to the meat.

Throw em on the grill for about 10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked to your liking.

Shred the coconut meat and throw it on top of the kabobs before serving.

Serves 4-6. Goes really well with saffron rice.

EDIT: mmm...sounds like it would go REALLY well with Kassy's potato salad!

MrBond's Teriaki Steak Stir Fry

1-2 lbs steak, slightly unthawed (important)
1/2 to 3/4 bottle "Veri Veri Teriaki Marinade" (best marinade for this, others will work)
1 pkg Stir Fry veggies of your choice
(I like broccoli, peas, water chestnut, mushroom, pepper blend)
Rice (6 servings work best, adjust for amount of steak)

The day before:

Slightly unthaw the steak. It's much easier to cut into strips if it's still a bit frozen. Cut that steak into bite sized strips about 1-1.5 in long. Trim the fat off to make it a "heart healthy dish" Put it all in a container, and pour the marinade overtop. The container should be big enough that the steak is covered mostly. I usually use a 9x9 baking dish. Cover it with plastic wrap, and let sit overnight. 24hrs isn't too long, and its how long I usually let it go.

The day of:

Unthaw the veggies. I like to precook them before adding them to the steak, but that's personal preference. Put the steak in a wok with a little olive oil, and let it cook, usually on high for 5 minutes, then medium for the remainder till the veggies are added. Transfer some of the marinade juice into the wok with the steak, but don't disgaurd the rest. Start the rice cooking as well (however the box says). When the steak is nearly finished, add the veggies and cover the wok. Let cook for an additional 5-10 minutes. I usually turn the heat as low as it goes now. Take out the steak/veggie mixture, but leave the "juice" in the wok. Add more of the marinade mixture, but remember, the more you add, the longer it needs to cook (to be safe). Add corn starch + water mixture (like making gravy) to the juice to thicken it. Pour over the steak and veggies. Serve over rice.

Not to complicated. Makes excellent leftovers too

Chicken Parmesian (or how poor college guys do italian)

4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 Eggs
1 bottle spaghetti sauce.
1 package motzarella cheese, shredded
One container Italian bred crumbs (regular bread crumbs with seasoning, basically)
Grated Parmasean cheese
Pasta (your choice)

Preheat oven to 350. Beat the two eggs, and then dip the chicken breasts in it, then in the bread crumbs. Place on lightly greased (Pam) baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes. Pour 1/2 of the sauce into a baking disk (I use a 9x9 again), add the baked chicken. Sprinkle 1/2 the cheese over the top, some of the parmesean cheese, and then add the rest of the sauce. Put the remaining cheese on the top, sprinkle with the parmesean. Bake for an additional 20 minutes. Start the pasta. Serve the chicken with the pasta.

A fairly cheap meal, I bought everything to serve 4 of us for ~$10. Gotta love generic cheese, cause the kraft stuff is expensive...
