Angel Hair Al Fresco

What a wonderful light meal this is! It is a quick dish and can easily be paired up with some veggies and bread! I made cornbread with this particular meal.

What I used:
2 boxes Pasta Roni Angel Hair Pasta with herbs
1 Can tuna
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 Tbsp. dried basil

Make your Pasta Roni according to directions. Once you are ready to add your pasta, add your tuna, tomatoes and basil as well. Return to a boil; reduce heat to med. Boil, uncovered, stirring frequently, 6-8 minutes. Sauce will be thin, but will thicken upon standing. Let it stand about 3 min. or until the sauce is thick enough for your liking.

Golden Chicken Bake

I found this recipe in a book I have (tweaked it a little) and was so thankful that it is really easy! This is a great one for those long busy days, it doesn't take much effort!

What I used:
3 chicken legs (you can do however much or little according to your family size)
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 tbsp. parsley
a little milk to make the soup more soupy

Put your soup in your baking dish, add milk and parsley; stir. Add your chicken and bake at 375 for around 50 min. turning the chicken once. I'm sorry for the lack of a picture! I forgot to take one and before I knew it, the chicken was gone!

Favorite Lasagna Recipe

Ok, we all know how lasagna can take FOREVER to make, right? Well, it doesn't have to anymore!! With this recipe you can have it made up in as quickly as 30 min.!! No joke! I served it up tonight and it was a huge hit! I made Lima Beans and home made garlic bread on the side. It was delicious!

What I used:
1 lb. ground venison (you can use beef if you want)
1 can (large size) of spaghetti sauce with mushrooms
6 no need to boil ahead of time lasagna noodles
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 Carton of small curd cottage cheese, the large carton

Preheat oven to 350. Brown your meat. Place a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. I used a smaller dish than a 9x13 but you can change up the recipe and dish size according to your family size. Layer three noodles then add more sauce, meat, cheddar cheese and cottage cheese. Repeat layer again and end with shredded cheese on the top. No need to cover, just put in the oven for 30 min. tops and there you have it! I was a little leery about using the no need to boil noodles, simply because I had never used them before. However, I am pleased to tell you they work so great and take away the hastle of boiling noodles then dealing with hot noodles as you place them in your dish!

1 lb. cooked venison (you could use beef or even chicken)
1 pkg. frozen mixed veggies

1/2 cup milk plus 3 tbsp. milk, divided
