So I came up with this the other night when I didnt feel like going to the grocery store and used what I had left to make dinner..
You will need:
Chicken breast
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 c. milk
1 pkg Onion soup mix
Herb & garlic spice
I combined them all together in my Celebrating Home "bean pot" (its a clay pot with a lid that cooks stuff beautifully). Put in the oven at 350 for about 1 1/2 hours. The chicken comes out in gravy and ready to serve. I served it over noodles, but it would pair well with rice too.
This is one more of my crazy concoctions that actually turned out really good! YUM!

Pineapple core smoothies!
First let me say this is just the recipe I came up with for my own smoothies. It helps "hide" the fact that you are drinking pineapple core. Pineapple core is used 1-5 dpo to help implantation. I figured it was worth a shot at least!
Ingredients
1/2 bag frozen strawberries
1/5th of the pineapple core (1/5th of the entire pineapple core)
1 can of mandarin oranges
1/2 can of orange juice concentrate (yep the concentrate works better than just juice)
1/2 c. FF plain yogurt
1 banana
Mix well in the blender and add about two cups worth of ice. This makes enough for about three smoothies. (I make extra without the pineapple core for my kids - they love it)...

Yummy porksteaks....& "fried" sweet potatoes
If you want to grill some heavenly porksteaks - its easy! Simply marinade your porksteaks for a couple hours in some Fat Free Italian dressing. Then put them on the grill starting on low heat. Then when they are just about done cooking turn up the heat and let them "crisp" alittle bit around the edges.. There is something about these porksteaks that have my kids even wanting more. Simple but delicious! You dont have to add any other spices or dressings to them, they are fab right off the grill!
I also made "Fried" sweet potatoes to go with them. Slice the sweet potatoes up thinly. Put them in a skillet with butter (I prefer real butter) and add a little light brown sugar. Cook them until they are easily cut with a fork. If you let them brown a little it will make them even sweeter! I used 4 potatoes for this recipe for our family of 4 and there were NONE left. My kids devoured them...

Summer fruit salad with dressing!
I love fresh fruit in the summer. I go to our local farmers market and buy fresh produce. But I found a way to make it even more delicious!
Add whatever kind of fruit you prefer to a bowl mix together. In a separate bowl add one can of orange juice concentrate and mix with 1 1/2 cups of fat free plain yogurt and a pinch of sugar (to taste). Mix until smooth. Pour over fruit mixture and enjoy! I put this in the fridge and add more fruit until it is all gone.
My kids LOVE this. I serve it as a side dish with dinners. Its a great way to add a fruit dish to your meal.
I use apples, peaches, pears, pineapple, strawberries, grapes, etc.. You can add whatever fruit you want really and the acid from the orange juice keeps it from turning brown.
You can also use orange pineapple apple juice concentrate or whatever orange juice mixture you prefer but it must have real orange juice in it or your fruit will turn brown. Enjoy!

My vanilla cake mix...
Here is my own recipe that I came up with. This works perfectly with my "jello" cake recipe below.. Its a very heavy cake that works best covered with jello or strawberries in their own strawberry juice.. Its similar to a pound cake..

1 1/2 c. flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 sticks real butter
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
4 eggs (room temperature)

Preparation
Sift flour salt, and baking powder into a separate bowl. With an electric mixer cream the butter until soft, Add the sugar and vanilla and continue mixing until light and fluffy.

Varaiation
You can add almond flavoring, lemon flavoring whatever flavor you want instead of the vanilla I just prefer vanilla almost any flavoring would work with this cake..
Like I said this cake works best when topped with fruit, etc.. It doesnt work well with frosting..

"Jello cake"
Ingredients
Vanilla Cake mix (or you can make one from scratch like I do)
1 tub Whip cream (I use homemade from heavy whipping cream)
2 pkgs of jello (you choose the flavor)
Fruit (I use the same fruit as the jello flavor I choose)
2 c. hot water
Preparation
Make your cake like you normally would. After you pull it out of the oven use a fork to poke "small holes" all over the top of the cake. Mix the two pkgs of jello with 2 c. very hot water. Poor the jello over the top of the cake and let it set.
You can either top the cake with fruit then put whipped cream over the top or put the whipped cream then fruit on top of that..
My favorite versions of this cake
I like strawberry jello with strawberries on top...
It also works well with orange jello and mandarin oranges..
I would be interested to see if you guys try other versions of this and they work well.

Chicken Pot Pie... This is my husband's favorite meal...
Ingredients
2 lbs of Chicken (I use boneless skinless breasts or thighs)
4 Pie crusts (premade work fine)
3 cans of Cream of chicken soup
1 bag of frozen peas & carrots
3 Potatoes (cut into small squares)
Preparation
Take premade pie crusts and layer two crusts in the bottom of the pan (I use a 12x9 glass pan), use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the crust, and cook in the oven at 375 until they start to turn golden on the bottom. While crust is cooking mix cream of chicken soup, frozen peas & carrots, and the cut up potatoes,and roasted garlic to taste in a pot and heat on the stove til bubbly. You may need to add a little milk to it.
Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool a little bit. Then pour mixture from the pot into the cooked crust. Top it with the remaining two crusts.. I use a fork to press down the ends and make the crust look "fancy".. I put three cuts on the top crust with a knife so that it can vent. Cook until the crust is golden brown and the filling is nice and bubbly.
Serve and enjoy!
