Okay, these are pretty boring.
1. It rained a little yesterday. The drought has been bad here. I can see the bottom of the lake at some of the docks.
2. I am having a hard time coming up with a variety of dinners to cook for the family.
Okay, there you go. I hope you found that interesting!

Hey Wendy-
I've got a quick and easy recipe for Porcupines. All you need is a box of beef ricearoni and groundbeef.
If your interested..
-Beth-
I'm interested!
and here is an easy but good recipe- Whiskey Chicken (don't let the name scare you)
4 chicken breast(or how ever many you want)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/3 cup of white cooking wine
dump it all in a crock pot and cook it on low all day or on high for half the day and wha la! makes a tender chicken breast and a tasty gravy that goes great over rice or mash potatoes.
yum, lisa, sounds good!
beth- you can't post a leader like that and then leave us hanging! post it already :)
wendy- i can never figure out dinners either. coming up with something healthy and not boring is quite a challenge. Lisa posted a chili recipe a while back that is quite tasty...
I think you're doing a great job, of course my favorite is Frito Salad right now!
sorry to leave you hanging here's the Porcupine recipe
1. Combine 1lb hamburger meat with 1 box beef
ricearoni and hand mix
2. Roll into 1inch balls
3. Brown porcupines in pan with oil
4. Add 1cup+ water and ricearoni seasoning mix to pan
5. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until done
6. Remove Porcupines and set aside
7. Mix flour and water and add to sauce to make gravy
8. Goes well with mashed potatoes
9. Serve with a smile
Note: all measurements are rough estimates so eyeball it.
I can vouch for the Porcupines, don't let the name fool you! THEYS REAL GOOD!
Beth, I'll try it! and Wendy tell more about the frito salad? My kids love fritos!
Frito salad:
Warm chili. I use can a can of Campbell's roadhouse chili. You could be creative and do your own or whatever.
Put fritos on plate. Pour chili over it. Then, I put shredded colby and monterey jack cheese on top.
That is they way the kids like it. You can get even more fancy and put what ever you want on it. Like: sour cream, avacodo,tomatoes.
I learned this from Allie. Steve's volunteer intern. After every wed. youth meeting, she will bring dinner for all the other interns and steve.
well, how about calzones? Not too hard to make yet very yummy.

This is Wendy's best post ever--I'm looking forward to benefiting from it!
Did you catch the part about Allie bringing dinner for us every Wednesday night? Life in Texas can be pretty sweet sometimes ;-)
You never had volunteer staff like that here! We're slackers! :)
i want to know why allie doesn't bring me dinner every wednesday night...or for that matter what abour monday, tuesday, thur...
I use something I'd like to think is a little above average for my bachelor-ness: add a can of Cambell's "Cream of Mushroom" to just about anything (meat, noodles, pizza, you know) and it makes it awesome.
Ok, maybe not the pizza... it stands on its own.
