Pasta and Cauliflower

Boil 4 quarts of water
Add 2 Tablespoons of coarse salt
Add one package of Barilla Rotini and 1 head of washed and chopped cauliflower.
Cook pasta and cauliflower for recommended pasta cooking time. (Towards the end, check the pasta to see if it's as al dente or mushy american as you like!)
Drain pasta and cauliflower.
Toss with a sprinkling of extra virgin olive oil.
Sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese on top.
MMMM BOY!

Another one of my favorites:

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

Okay, I really don't make them into meatballs. It's more like "meat crumbles" :) It's easier that way and you get to taste the meat in every bite! Plus I was never able to get the meatballs to stick together. :)

1 lb hamburger
1/2 c bread crumbs
1/4 c milk
2 T finely chopped onion
1/2 t soy sauce
1 egg

Brown hamburger and then add all the other ingredients.

Sauce:
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 T corn starch
1 can (13 1/2 oz) crushed pineapple w/ syrup
1/3 c vinegar
1 T soy sauce

Bring to a boil. Serve over meat crumbles and rice

Chicken Nacho Casserole

4-6 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
1-2 cans green chillies
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 onion chopped
sour cream- I put whatever in to reach desired taste
8-10 tortillas cut into 1" squares - I like to use the whole wheat ones because they taste good and their healthier!

Combine all ingredients except for tortillas. Layer in a 9x13 pan starting with half of chicken mixture. Follow with a layer of tortillas, I like to make this layer kind of thick because I like the tortillas.
Follow with remaining chicken mixture and top with shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 45 min.

My family likes to eat this with tortilla chips.

Shepherd's Pie

1 lb hamburger, browned
1 finely chopped onion
1-2 finely chopped carrots (I just use the pampered chep chopper)
1 can green beans, drained
large handful frozen corn
1 jar marinara sauce (or you can make your own 1 can diced tomatoes, 2 cans tomato sauce, 1 can tomato paste, salt, basil,crushed pepper, garlic, sugar)
Sliced cheddar cheese

6-8 servings mashed potatoes

In a sauce pan, brown meat, with onion, and carrots. Add green beans, corn, and marinara sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Even when I use jarred marinara I add a little more salt, basil and crushed pepper).

Place meat mixture in 9x13 pan. Place enough slices of cheese over the top. Finish with the mashed potatoes spread evenly over the cheese. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes or until bubbly and toasted on top.
