Monday:



Taco Soup

I brown hamburger and onions. After I drain the hamburger I add a can of tomato soup (add water), taco seasoning, chopped tomatoes, a can of black beans (drained), kidney beans (drained), pinto beans,and a small can of corn. If you like it spicy hot add chopped tomatoes with chiles instead of the plain. This makes quite a bit but it freezes well. We eat it with tortilla chips, cheese, and sour cream.

You need: 1 lb hamburger, 1 can tomato soup, taco seasoning, chopped tomatoes, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and a small can corn. Tortilla chips, cheese, and sour cream.



Tuesday:



Italian Pasta

Cut up 2 chicken breasts in 1 inch cubes. Cut up carrots, onions, broccoli, and any other veggies that you like. I like it with zuchinni and califlower too. Heat 1 TB olive oil in a skillet and add the chicken about 5 min. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Heat another tablespoon of oil and add carrot. Stir for a few minutes and then add the other veggies and a minced garlic clove. Garlic powder works too. Stir for about 2 minutes longer. Cook Angel hair pasta according to directions. While the pasta is cooking add 2 cups chicken broth 1 tsp Italian seasoning and thicken with cornstarch. Add chicken back in and serve over pasta with parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately. You can serve this with breadsticks or garlic bread

Wednesday:



Sloppy Jo's and potato salad

I make my sloppy jo's with hamburger, onions, and barbeque sauce. You can also use canned sloppy jo mix or the dry mix. If you add a tsp of mustard, a TB sugar, and a couple of tablespoons of milk to your miracle whip you will have a better tasting potato salad.
Add a vegetable.
