Dinners

Another goal that I have on my 101 things to do list is to try some new recipes. We were definitely getting into a rut with dinners a few weeks ago and I tried some new ones. They turned out pretty good...forgot to take pictures, but we're having them again this week, so I'll try to remember to take some pictures.

My favorite website to find simple, easy recipes is www.kraftfoods.com
They also have a section where you can get four dinner recipes (well, they advertise 5, but one is a frozen pizza) from one bag of groceries, complete with a shopping list. 1 bag, 5 dinners

Here are two other recipes we've had recently that were very easy and turned out pretty good!

Ham and Swiss Casserole

Ingredients:
1 8 oz pkg wide egg noodles, cooked and drained
2 cups ham, cubed
2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup sour cream

In a 9X13 pan, layer noodles, ham, and cheese; mix lightly. In a separate bowl, mix the soup and sour cream together. Pour soup mixture over the other ingredients in the pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Cover during the first half of baking.

ETA: Not the best picture, but gives you an idea...I always like to "see" things before I make them.
