This recipe was given to me by my dad. He took over all the cooking when my grandmother passed away 15 years ago. She was a wonderful cook and this sounds like something that she would like.
Chicken and rice soup
Ingredients
1 lb of chicken breasts cooked and chopped
1 box uncle ben’s wild rice (23 herbs) regular not fast cook dump it all in pot, including the packet
2 cans chicken broth
1-2 can of water (I use the broth from cooking the chcken breasts)
1 small onion, chopped
1 can cream of celery soup
1/2 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 can mushrooms
Directions
Boil your Chicken for 30-40 minutes.
Mix all together and bring to a boil. Simmer for at least 45 mins to cook the rice,
I usually start mine on the stove in the pot I cooked the chicken in and then transfer to crockpot for
the rest of the day, low heat. If too thick add water or chicken broth. Very hearty.

I Know that most people are going to say what this sounds odd but it is really tasty. Last night my hubby and I were thinking of something to do for dinner and came up with this idea. Use leftovers from when you make beef and salsa burritos and instead of tortillas use a pizza crust. The pizza crust can be your choice of homemade or frozen whichever is easier for you
Ingredients
1 pizza crust
1 pkg of mexican style shredded cheese
leftover beef and salsa mixture
prepare your pizza crust and top with the beef and salsa mixture and cheese. Place in a 425 oven for 15 minutes or until done time may vary with your oven. Let cool for a few minutes and then slice and serve.
About 14 years ago my husband and I discovered a recipe for beef and Salsa burritos. I always tweak a recipe to mine and my husbands taste. One day when I did not have enough ground beef I decided that I would try it with half ground beef and half sausage. It turned out to be a good idea as it is one of my hubby’s favorite dishes. Below is my version.
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 lb hot sausage
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1 10-oz. pkg. frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, well-drained
1 cup prepared chunky salsa
3/4 cup shredded Mexican four cheese blend
8 medium flour tortillas,warmed
Directions:
In a large non-stick skillet, brown ground beef and sausage over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink, stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings. Season beef with chili powder,and cumin, Stir in spinach and salsa; heat through. Remove from heat; stir in cheese.
To serve, spoon 1/2 cup beef mixture in center of each tortilla. Fold bottom edge up over filling; fold sides to center, overlapping edges.
Makes 8 burritos.

When I was working full time outside the house I was always looking for a recipe that was quick and easy to make. I like to makes things that taste good and I also like to spend as little time as possible in the kitchen. Recipezaar is one of my all time favorite sites to get recipes. It has a wide variety of choices to search exactly what you are looking for. I invite you to email me and tell me what some of your favorite recipe websites are or even some of your favorite recipes and post them here.

I know it has been awhile since I posted a recipe. I am always on the lookout for easy salmon recipes. It does not get any easier than this one. I discovered this one a few months ago in one of my many cooking magazines. In fact I am making it for dinner tonight. I have modified the recipe to mine and my hubby’s taste. I season the fish with a salt free garlic herb seasoning before broiling and I use garlic herb feta in place of the plain feta cheese. Still makes for a tasty recipe.
This is one of my favorite recipes. My grandmother would make this every thanksgiving.
