All the recipes that we've used over the years have vanished from my brain -- well many of them anyway. Place your best recipes used over the year's like Ginny's sausage and peppers, Warren's garlic sauce, etc., and we will build a data base of family recipes we can pass on to everyone

Noodles O-Le-O
Again, like the chicken and rice recipe, this can be a loaves and fishes type of meal. Adjust the amount (or type) of noodles and other ingredients to increase the yield. Mix different types of noodles.
1 box of whole egg wide noodles
Vegetable oil
Garlic salt
1 Onion
Parmesan cheese
Bread crumbs
Cook the noodles and drain. In a frying pan warm up the oil and add chopped onion. Cook onion until soft then add the noodles and mix throughly. You want enough oil to cover the noodles lightly, not drown in. As you cook the noodles and onion, add garlic salt and pepper. Cook the noodles until they are getting firm on the bottom of the pan then add some bread crumbs to "glue" to the noodles. Mix throughly and cover with cheese (any cheese really) for additional flavor.
No bread crumbs? Empty the bottom of your toaster. Need more, toast some bread then dice the bread up.

Easy Chicken and Rice
2 pieces of chicken
Enough rice to feed the number of people
Soup -- cream of chicken/celery/mushroom or another type soup that you have available
1 Onion
Olive (or regular) oil
1 egg
Garlic salt
Pepper
This is the loves and fish meal -- expand it as you need. Fry the chicken in some oil to cover the bottom of the pan and seasoning. As the chicken is cooking in one pan, prepare the rice in another pot (instant/boil/whatever rice - substitute noodles if necessary) When chicken is almost cooked chop up onion and add to the pan. Take the chicken out a piece at a time and cut into small pieces and return to the pan. Cook until onion is soft then add the rice and stir. Once stirred throughly form a pocket in the middle of the mixture with the bottom of the pan exposed add some oil to the pocket and then crack the egg and stir into the oil. Cook the egg until it is scrambled and then mix into the rice/chicken mixture. Once stirred add the soup of choice. If you use clear soup, continue to cook the mixture until it is absorbed by the rice mixture. If using a cream soup just stir it in and heat for five more minutes until warm.

This is easy, quick and high in protein and fiber
Ingredients:
Bag of cook in the bag brown rice
1/4 lb. ground beef
pkg of frozen corn in steamer bag

garlic salt

1 tomato
2 cloves garlic

Brown the meat with some olive oil while microwaving the corn and boiling the bag of rice (10 minutes) In the ground beef once browned include chopped up garlic and a diced up tomato. Let this cook on low and covered for about 5 minutes. Add some soy sauce, just a little at first you can add once complete to taste. Stir and blend in the corn and horseradish. Cover again for 5 minutes drain the rice in the bag in a colander and then pour the rice over the meat and corn in the skillet and stir throughly. Give it a taste -- can't taste the soy sauce
