Okay, so i hate to admit this, but i need help!!! I am beyond stuck in a recipe rut!! I feel, and I think my husband does too, that we eat the same things over and over and over again! It is driving me crazy... so does anyone have any good recipes???
I have the greatest idea, how about if ALL my wonderful blogging friends, and those random people who look at blogs but don't comment(it is okay, i believe we ALL do that=)... everyone just post one recipe, i am sure some of you do this already, but i am new to the blogging world and have probably missed some great recipes!! So please will someone help a girl out?!
How about i start...
Chili
1 lb. Jimmy Dean Maple Sausage
4 reg. size cans red kidney beans, drained
1/2 to 1 whole onion chopped
1 pkg. chili mix
1 jar any kind of salsa
1/2 cup or so sugar
Cook Sausage into bite size pieces. Then combine all ingredients into crock pot and cook 3-4 hours on low.
*The maple sausage can be found by the breakfast bacon at the grocery store, or you can replace it with ground hamburger or ground turkey, i really don't like sausage all that much- but the maple sausage is sooo good... we make tacos with it too.*
*Also, sometimes i will make a little extra chili and then use it as the meat base for Navajo tacos, a couple days later. For those i just buy a big bag of Rhodes rolls and flatten them out and then fry it. Maybe not too healthy, but it tastes really good! I love them with honey butter too!!!*
Bernie's Mexican Chicken Casserole
(I know not another chicken recipe! Sorry!)
1 whole chicken cooked and deboned
(or I just use canned chicken, it is easier and tastes the same)
12 tortillas cut up into bite size pieces
4 oz. can chopped green chili's
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 empty soup can of milk
1/2 lb. shredded cheese(like cheddar)
Mix chili's, soup, and milk in large bowl... In a casserole dish layer tortillas, mixture, and then chicken, at least twice. Then top with cheese. Bake at 350 for 30-45 minutes.
So there we go... i have given three, if you count the tacos! So anything would be great, casseroles, crock pot, chicken, pork, steak, ANYTHING to a help a girl and her husband eat something besides chili, or mexican chicken casserole, which are two of my favorites... but are starting to get old!!! Can anyone help me???

Thanks for the recipes! I love getting new ideas for things to make too..I am like you, I tend to make the same thing over and over and over. Some of my friends and I have been trying to post some new recipes on our blogs every week so you can find some of mine there..and follow the links to Bron & Megan's page and Nick & Jeanines page and look through their older posts and you should find some good ones there too. And keep posting yours so I can get even more ideas.
this is just an easy and yummy recipe we love.
4 pieces chicken or pork
1 cup salsa
1 cup brown sugar
pour it all in a crock pot and walaaa! we eat it over rice. sometimes i put pineapple in and that is pretty good too. leftovers are usually chicken quesidillas or tacos. it really is so easy and so delicious.
Know what you mean! I've been posting recipes on my blog as well. And check out internecipes.blogspot.com...it's a fabulous food blog!
Well I'm not the best cook, but I'll give you an easy one that I made for lunch today...
Chicken Noodle Soup
1 box chicken stock
1 bag shreaded carrots
1 stock celery chopped small
1 bag of Kluskies Noodles
Chicken (cooked and sprinkled with Bon Appetite(sp?) seasoning then cut up.
I just boil the noodles in the broth until done and then remove the noodles and cook the carrots and celery in the broth. Then when they are done I throw everything back in the broth and serve! Way easy, and my kids inhale it!
Mmmmm... those both sound so good... i now have dinner for two nites!! yea!!
linds- i have always wanted a good chicken soup recipe and that one sounds so good!!
Thank You, thank you!!! Becky i'll try that, when i was in high school my friends mom always made salsa chicken... and it has been a while since i made it! Sounds good!!!
Sara my love, all you need to do for the tagging thing is to copy it from my page. Then go to your page and open up the thing to write a new blog and paste it, then you can go through and erase my answers and put in your own. I forgot to paste that part of the post into my post. Silly me. I need your help making my page cute. I just got my computer running again so now I can go full speed ahead on my page. Your so good with the scrapbooking stuff. I wish I could help with some receipts. I still only cook for one which means microwaving! I think that we should meet in St. George one weekend and hang out. It's been too long and I miss you!
Great post! I am the same way and I desperately NEED new ideas of things to make! Plus, I am so happy to finally have your chili recipe! Thanks!! I have to go visiting teaching right now, but I will try and post a recipe soon!
It's good to hear from you! Ya, it has been a long time! I'm glad you found me on here, I added you to my list so I can look at your blog all the time. How has everything been going? Your brother's little baby is sooo cute! When are you going to start having kids? (you don't have any yet, right?) Talk to ya soon!
Hey my sister in law Megan had a bunch of us post recipes on mondays, I have been a slacker lately, but check on mondays for recipes from me (or look back a few weeks for more)
becky gave me a good recipe last night actually. she takes rits crackers and puts cheese on them...or tortilla chips (in the scoop shape) with salsa. she said the scoop ones taste way better... haha! she is such a nerd!
i always look up stuff on allrecipes.com. i have gotten great recipes from there.
Okay, I promise I'm not a stalker. I saw your blog from a friend's blog, and I clicked on it because I know some Frei's, and I was going to see if you were related to the Frei's that I know. Since you are asking for recipes, here's a few that are absolute favorites with my husband and kids. If I ever meet you, you can let me know if you liked them or not. I'm always on the lookout for great new recipes, and these are some of my best.

Dianne i would love to see your blog, so hopefully you read this again, because i don't have access who are the frei's you know?? thank you so much!! The cream cheese chicken sounds delicious!! I am so excited, that is sooo nice of you!!!
I am best at making sweets since that's the most fun to make, and eat... both of us agree that this one is our favorite dessert:
Moon Crater Cake Dessert
1 cube margarine
1 c. water
Bring to boil then add:
1 c. flour
4 eggs
dash salt
Filling:
3 c. milk
8 oz pkg. cream cheese (softened)
1-6 oz pkg. vanilla pudding (or choc.)
Topping:
1-8 oz pkg. cool whip
chocolate syrup
Boil water and marg. Add flour all at once; take off burner. Mix well. Add salt. Add eggs, one at a time; mix well between each egg. Press into a 9x12 pan (will be very sticky). Bake 25-30 mins @ 400 degrees.
For filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth, add milk slowly so it doesn't get lumpy, then add pudding. Mix until smooth. Pour over cooled cream puff. Refrigerate until set. Top with cool whip then drizzle with chocolate syrup.
