Thanks for the kind words Nancy and for the PM Lauren, you all are so kind. Well I have a few minutes before I head out to a Dr. appt., so here is the Chicken recipe:

Baked Chicken Reuben

4 skinless, boneless breasts
salt & pepper
16 oz can sauerkraut, drained and liquid pressed out
4 slices swiss cheese
1 1/4 c. Thousand Island dressing (I use the fat free)
1 Tbsp chopped parsley


In greased baking pan, place chicken breasts. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Place sauerkraut over chicken; top with swiss cheese slices. Pour salad dressing evenly over cheese. Cover with foil and bake in 325 oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease. Sprinkle with parsley to serve.

Thanks Kathy!

I have already printed the recipe and going shopping later and will buy the ingredients....this is just what I like...a recipe that is easy and tastes good! This seems like it would be great for a party as well...

This sounds yummy... I'm going to make something similar.Apricot chicken

Hi Jenny,

Is this the recipe with the Catalina dressing, onion soup and the apricot preserves? I make a recipe with these ingredients and DFi and DS8 love it...one of their favorites...we call it Sweet and Sour Chicken...

All the best,
Lauren

I'm not a huge pork fan but I thought the pork chops were good. I served them with egg noodles. DH loved them & is taking the leftovers to work tomorrow. DD4 loved them, DD3 didn't eat any, she has given up eating I think.

Here's the recipe:

Crockpot Sweet & Sour Pork

* 1 onion
* 1 carrot
* 2 stalks celery
* 1 red bell pepper
* 1 can pineapple chunks, drained (save juice)
* 2 lbs. thick cut boneless pork chops
* reserved juice from pineapple
* 3 T. apple cider vinegar
* 2 T. soy sauce
* 1 T. cornstarch
* 2 T. brown sugar
* 1/4 tsp. ground ginger
* 1/4 tsp mustard powder
* 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
* 1 or 2 dashes hot pepper sauce
* 6 oz. can tomato paste

Cut up vegetables & place in crockpot with pineapple chunks. Season chops with salt & pepper & put in crockpot. Stir pineapple juice, vinegar, & soy sauce together. Add cornstarch, stirring until dissolved. Mix in remaining ingredients & pour over pork chops. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. I thickened the sauce with a little more cornstarch at the end.

Oh my! That sounds delicious! I think that will be on the menu for next week! Yummo!!!

Tonight will be Baked Reuben Chicken (if you like reuben sandwiches, you'll like this), Roasted red potatoes and string beans. The chicken is a quick fix!

Recipe, please???? DH's favorite sandwich is the Reuben! This might be just the ticket for him!

ETA: I should have kept reading before posting! Thanks for the recipe! I will try it for DH's first dinner after he gets home from his business trip!

Kathy ~ Thanks for posting the Reuben Chicken recipe. I'm going to try it next week. DS10 doesn't like sauerkraut so I'll have to make his without.

Jenny ~ Would you mind posting your recipe for Apricot Chicken, please. I've always wanted to make that, but never had a recipe for it.

 

[TigerKat]

Lauren & Glynis - hope you enjoy it!!

Sandy - DS hates sauerkraut too, I just leave it off of his!!

Last night I made chicken picatta and penne with broccoli. It was tasty and fast, and I had the leftovers for lunch, yummy!

I haven't decided on tonight's dinner yet. It depends how cold it is when I get out of work!

 

[stacy347]

All these new recipes sound so good ~ I can't wait to try them all!

Today I am going to bake up some pork steaks smothered in gravy with mashed potatoes and baked beans on the side.

Lauren

Yes, except I use Russian dressing

 

[Glynis]

I LOVE that recipe!!! I made it just after DH and I were married. It was our first dinner party with the in-law's. It was a very nice meal, and MIL was impressed!

Today I am going to bake up some pork steaks smothered in gravy with mashed potatoes and baked beans on the side.

Tonight is chicken wings and maybe fried rice, havent decided yet.

I am glad I stumbled upon this thread. I love to cook, and I am always looking for new recipes to try. Tonight in our household we are having:

Grilled BBQ Chicken Breasts, Roasted Potatoes (Cut mini red-skinned potatoes into halves or quarters, and toss in a ziploc bag with some olive oil and italian seasoning. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until browned),and Corn Casserole (recipe below)

Corn Casserole
1 15 oz can corn, drained
1 15 oz can creamed corn
1/2 C butter, melted
1 pkg Jiffy corn muffin mix
2 eggs
1 C. cottage cheese
1/3 C sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

Mix all ingredients together and put in a greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 1 hour, until casserole is set and lightly brown on top. Sometimes I substitute mexicorn for the corn, add a small can of green chilis, and add a handful of cheddar cheese to this. You could add browned sausage or cubed ham for a complete meal.

Sounds good! A friend once made something similar for me, except he added cream of mushroom soup and shredded chicken. It was so good. I think I'll have to try your recipe!

Tonight we had chicken sausage and peppers and onions. Just something simple and easy.

I love corn casserole! I'm the only one who will eat it though so it only gets made at Thanksgiving.

I made soft tacos tonight and they were nasty. The meat tasted a little off. So we ended up eating sandwiches instead. I hate it when that happens.

 

[Dislifer]

Some of these recipes here sound good...gotta try the pork in the crock pot! Although sometimes I don't want to try involved recipes such as this because I buy all the stuff, prepare everything, get excited about it...and no one likes it. They just want the standard Shake n Bake pork chops! Oh well! That's whats for supper tonight: Shake n Bake port chops, broccoli and rice.

 

[LindsayDunn228]

We are having leftover mug pie soup tonight. Boy did it turn out good!! I can't wait until it gets good and COLD outside so we can enjoy this meal even more!

WFD at your house?

 

[stacy347]

Today I'm going to make a pot of chili and some homemade cornbread (or maybe corn muffins, haven't decided yet).

 

[Nancyg56]

Last evening we had sausage and peppers over gemelli pasta seasoned with garlic and olive oil. Green salad on the side.

 

[FormrCastMbr]

ITs either roast pork, meatloaf or take out chinese tonight...I am hoping for the last option...
