Chili my way
Here’s my version of Chili that’s been evolving for a couple of years now… finally came up with a combination of veggies and meat that the kids really enjoy eating! Simple as pie, I make it almost once a week – until we’re sick of eating it, then I drop it out of the rotation for a couple of months.
Chicken Mashed Broccoli
This is more named for the ingredients than really it being “Mashed Broccoli”…
I’ve been making a recipe that I found on the back of a bottle of Ranch dressing for the past couple of years, and the family really likes it. It’s called Ranch Baked Chicken. The recipe is really simple.
Chicken with Potatoes (pork chop variation)
I had some of the ingredients for the Pork Chop with Potatoes, Onions and Rosemary recipe, so I thought I’d go ahead and try it with Chicken!
Pork Chops with Potatoes, Onions & Rosemary
I love when I Google various ingredients to see what ideas I can get – this was one that I found, but changed a bit (as I always do). The kids, again, loved it, and I was pleased with the results.
Chicken Parmesan alla Mastrio
Sometimes you have an ingredient but you just don’t know what you’re going to do with it until you start. This was one of those situations. I had some chicken tenders (actually, they were chicken breasts cut into strips) that were buy-one get-one free at Big Y. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what to do with them – better yet, what to do with them so the kids would eat them!
Gnocchi Alla Romana
I’m just copying this down because I’m going to lose the recipe… made this last night, and it was AWESOME!!

Ingredients:
8 cups whole milk
